2020 NFL Mock Draft: Raiders score Isaiah Simmons, Eagles address secondary

It’s going to get old between now and the end of April as we continue to have Joe Burrow as the No. 1 overall pick to the Cincinnati Bengals but that’s the reality that we’re living in. Zac Taylor‘s team is prepared to usher in a new era after 2-14 finish to the regular season and Burrow is the right guy to do that with elite accuracy, decision-making, playmaking and leadership that he’s put on display time and again.

Some might find it unsettling to see the Washington Redskins make good decisions but they’ve done so thus far in the offseason. Ron Rivera could be a great hire and letting go of Bruce Allen was equally as effective.

The next great move this franchise can make is landing Chase Young with the second pick of the draft. The Ohio State defensive end is as sure of a thing as you’ll find and the best overall prospect in the 2020 class, capable of being a double-digit sack player upon arrival in the NFL.

Detroit sits in an interesting position at No. 3 as they appear to be a prime candidate to trade down for teams that could perhaps be looking to move up for Tua Tagovailoa. But if they stay put, they have a number of options at their disposal. One such option is Jeffery Okudah as the Ohio State corner could be a dynamic complement to Darius Slay that would truly help solidify a secondary that has been overall inconsistent.

For as many great things as Saquon Barkley did as a rookie and as Daniel Jones had this past season once he took over, the Giants offense is held back by two things: their offensive line and the lack of overall weapons. Thus, the question is which they address with the No. 4 pick.

Here, they go with the war in the trenches by taking Andrew Thomas. The Georgia product is a blue-chip offensive tackle prospect that should be able to replace Nate Solder immediately and really upgrade the Giants O-line in a monumentally helpful way.
