2020 NFL Mock Draft: Vikings replace Kirk Cousins with Joe Burrow

Joe Burrow is enjoying a record-setting season in his second year as the quarterback of the LSU Tigers. He’s been lighting up competition and turning heads in regards to the 2020 NFL Draft. He has the physical build, the big arm and now the consistent accuracy and poise to make NFL teams desire him and the Minnesota Vikings have to here. Cousins isn’t going to cut it for the long haul and they use a quarterback-rich draft class to bring in his replacement.

The Texans flirtings with mediocrity this season give the Dolphins a third pick in the first round, which they use to protect Tua, nabbing Epenesa’s teammate at Iowa, Tristan Wirfs. A right tackle by trade, he’ll protect the blindside of the left-handed Tagovailoa and do so effectively as he’s a forceful, refined and athletic player on the edge of the offensive line that should be ready to play well right out of the gate.

You would love to be able to give the Oakland Raiders a true linebacker in this 2020 NFL Mock Draft. The truth is, though, there isn’t a linebacker worthy of being taken in the top 11, at least to play the way the Raiders would need him to. Instead, they tab Bryce Hall out of Virginia to improve a lacking secondary. The UVA corner is a stud on the outside and would come in and compete to be the No. 1 cornerback as soon as the Raiders called his name.

Despite the fact that Auburn lost this week, Derrick Brown was on display. The big defensive tackle showcased his immense talent by being consistently disruptive up the middle, which is what he does. The Indianapolis Colts need to add a little more firepower on their defensive line, particularly on the interior. Brown is the perfect type of player to do that, an all-around force that can do whatever’s asked of him in Indy.
