2020 NFL Mock Draft: Redskins make QB splash, Giants grab star receiver

There’s no doubt that the No. 1 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft is going to be LSU quarterback Joe Burrow. He’s coming off what many believe was the greatest season in NCAA history which was capped off with a Heisman Trophy and National Championship. And in just a matter of weeks, he will be the top pick in the draft.

Burrow has an incredibly high football IQ, which Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network says is “elite.” He also says Burrow will instantly become the face of an NFL franchise.

"With elite football intelligence, Joe Burrow solves nearly every riddle a defense can pose to him before the snap. A refined pocket passer with an innate sense of the pocket, Burrow will defeat pressure with his legs and arm alike — he projects best into a modern spread offense, where he can diagnose soft spaces in the defense and read the full field of play to disperse the ball. With intangibles through the roof, Burrow is a face of the franchise prospect and plug and play starter."

The only question that remains is whether or not the Cincinnati Bengals are the ones pulling the trigger. They should be, but rumors are suggesting that the Miami Dolphins, who own three picks in Round 1, are trying to put together a package to move up.

It likely won’t be enough though. A sure thing at quarterback such as Burrow doesn’t come around very often and the Bengals need someone to turn their franchise around. Who better than the Ohio kid himself?
