2020 NFL Mock Draft 1.0: Colts, Lions select QBs of the future in Love and Tua 

As organizations start to prepare for the much-anticipated NFL Draft, it's always interesting to try and foresee what each team might do based on their respective areas of need. Keeping that in mind, I've added a few trades to the first round that make a ton of sense for all teams involved (more on that later). Here's a look at how I believe the first round could turn out in Las Vegas.

#1 Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow, QB, LSU

Selecting the Heisman-winning QB, in Burrow, should be the easiest decision the Bengals organization will ever make. He can make every NFL throw with pure ease, and where he lacks in arm strength, he makes up for with pinpoint accuracy. Don't screw this up, Cincinnati. You've been stuck in QB-purgatory for the better part of the last two decades. Drafting Burrow gives the team their best chance at long-term success as they've seen in years.

#2 Washington Redskins: Chase Young, DE, Ohio State

Just as the 49ers took Nick Bosa with the 2nd overall pick last April, Washington would be wise to take the generational pass rusher, in Young, here as well. The Redskins already have an exceptional defensive front with dominant pass rushers in Daron Payne, Johnathan Allen, last year's first-round pick, Montez Sweat and linebacker, Ryan Kerrigan. Adding Young to that already monstrous group will not only give Washington one of the league's top-of-the-line defensive front-sevens but would also strike fear into opposing offensive coordinators for seasons to come.

#3 Detroit Lions: Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama

Despite having one of his best seasons as a pro, the Lions must come to the realization that Matt Stafford -- although solid -- hasn't nearly lived up to the expectations, specifically for QBs that come along with being drafted No. 1 overall. It's been 11 years too long and the franchise is in dire need of a fresh start. Despite having durability concerns, Tua's rare combination of mobility, accuracy, and overall playmaking ability, might just be the kind of rejuvenation Detroit and their fanbase have been longing for.

#4 Indianapolis Colts (via Giants): Jordan Love, QB, Utah State

With rumors flying around that Miami may be interested in Love, the Colts can't take the risk of letting one of the top-rated quarterbacks slip through their fingertips. Indy desperately needs to find their quarterback of the future. Even though moving up would unreservedly go against GM Chris Ballard's traditional draft procedures, Love's prototypical size, accuracy, and cannon for an arm might just be enough for Ballard and company to pull the trigger on the high-ceilinged signal-caller.

#5 Miami Dolphins: Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon

Of the many, many needs for this football team, Miami's first order of business should be to draft a long-term, franchise quarterback. Herbert's big arm and athletic ability provide the Dolphins with a quarterback that is more-than-capable of being thrown into the fire come September. After all, "Fitzmagic's" Cinderella-like games have to run out at some point, right?

#6 Los Angeles Chargers: Jacob Eason, QB, Washington

Seeing as how the Chargers have moved on from Philip Rivers, they are now obviously another QB-needy team. Although it may not be ideal, the Chargers select the big-armed quarterback, in Eason, that could turn out to provide that extra spark (no pun intended) of offense that the team was certainly deprived of throughout all of last season.

#7 Carolina Panthers: Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson

With Luke Kuechly's abrupt retirement, Carolina now has a major hole at ILB. Simmons is a freakish athlete whose nose for the ball, combined with his rare size and speed, would instantly fill the hole at ILB for the Panthers. Simmons would pair nicely with Shaq Thompson and second-year stud, Brian Burns.

#8 Arizona Cardinals: Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville

Becton is arguably this draft's best offensive tackle. He makes defensive ends and linebackers look foolish with his tremendous pass and run blocking. Once Becton gets his hands on you, it's over. You don't stand a chance. He would be an immediate upgrade at left tackle for the Cardinals, a position that's been a consistent revolving door for the last several seasons. Considering Kyler Murray was the 3rd-most sacked QB last season (48), Arizona could use an anchor at tackle, and that's exactly what they'd get in Becton.

#9 Jacksonville Jaguars: K'Lavon Chaisson, Edge, LSU

College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl - LSU v Oklahoma

With the probable departure of DE Yannick Ngakoue, the Jags will have an immediate hole at the defensive end. LSU's K'Lavon Chaisson is a versatile player, who can play both defensive end and linebacker, too. Pairing the elite edge rusher with last year's first-round pick, Josh Allen, along with Calais Campbell, should strike fear into opposing offensive coordinators.

#10 Cleveland Browns: Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia

Thomas is an extremely well-rounded tackle, something that's awfully hard to find in today's pass-heavy NFL. The Browns must find a way to protect franchise quarterback, Baker Mayfield, who was sacked 40 times last season. Thomas would be an immediate upgrade over their current starting left tackle, Greg Robinson, too.

#11 New York Jets: Tristan Wirfs, OG, Iowa

Similar to the Cleveland Browns, the Jets too have their share of offensive line issues. Wirfs is a very athletic guard who can also play tackle. He's a dominant run blocker who has the ability to get to the second level with ease. His ability to create space as a lead blocker and dominant pass blocking techniques makes him the most well-rounded guard in this year's draft. The Jets must protect Sam Darnold at all costs, and that starts upfront. Passing on Wirfs would be a mistake on New York's part, should he fall to them at No. 10.

#12 Las Vegas Raiders: Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama

This scenario is almost too perfect for GM Mike Mayock and company. Jeudy is this class' best and most versatile receiver. His track-like speed, combined with his elite route-running skills makes him a matchup nightmare for any opposing corner. The Alabama star would be perfect for Jon Gruden's system, while giving Derek Carr a legitimate deep threat at receiver, too.

#13 New York Giants (via Colts): Jedrick Willis, OT, Alabama

Even though the Giants (in this scenario), trade back to the 13th pick, they still get their man in Alabama's Jedrick Willis. He's as polished a left tackle as they come, and New York's tackle position has been a constant revolving door for far too long. Drafting Willis, who only surrendered one sack all of last season, makes almost too much sense for Dave Gettleman and company.

#14 Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State

Tampa Bay has a lot of holes to fill, particularly in their secondary. Jeff Okudah is far-and-away the best corner in this draft, and the Bucs haven't had a true shutdown corner since Ronde Barber back in the early 2000s. Okudah is a true lock-down corner that would be a major upgrade to one of the worst secondaries in all of football.

#15 Denver Broncos: Ceedee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma

The Broncos may have finally found their long-term answer at quarterback with Drew Lock. Giving Lock an explosive, play-making receiver should help the young quarterback out tremendously. Not to mention that it would make newly hired offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur happy, too.

#16 Atlanta Falcons: A.J. Epenesa, Edge, Iowa

With the Falcons announcing Vic Beasley's departure recently, they'll definitely be in the market for another pass rusher. For a team that's struggled to find a productive, dominant edge rusher for the past several seasons, I believe Epenesa can finally provide them with that missing piece.

#17 Dallas Cowboys: Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama

SEC Championship - Alabama v Georgia

McKinney's rangy athleticism and ball-hawking skills would make him a perfect fit for any team in need of safety help. The Cowboys have had a glaring hole at safety for far too long, and drafting arguably the best safety in this draft class, in McKinney, would bring an immediate boost to Dallas' secondary.

#18 Miami Dolphins: D'Andre Swift, RB, Georgia

Miami needs a legitimate three-down back since trading Kenyon Drake to Arizona last season. Drafting the top running back, in Swift, makes way too much sense. Don't let his small 5'9" frame fool you, he is lightning in a bottle, who also has the ability to be an elite pass-catching back at the next level.

#19 Las Vegas Raiders: Derek Brown, DT, Auburn

Pairing perhaps the best interior defensive lineman with last April's first-round pick, Clelin Ferrell, should be a split-second decision for Las Vegas. You win games in the NFL by being dominant up front, and the Raiders would bolster their D-line by selecting Brown here.

#20 Jacksonville Jaguars (via Rams): Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU

Since trading away Jalen Ramsey last season, the Jags now have a hole at corner. Finding Ramsey's replacement should be of top priority, and selecting a top-tier, man-to-man corner, in Fulton, would both fill the need at corner and pair nicely with A.J. Bouye as well.

#21 Philadelphia Eagles: Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama

Despite winning their division and making the playoffs with nine wins, one of Philly's biggest issues last season was the injuries to their receiving corps. Ruggs is the kind of wideout who can take it to the house with every touch he gets. Pairing the elite speedster with Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor and DeSean Jackson would help give Carson Wentz and the Eagles' offense a much-needed boost next season.

#22 Buffalo Bills: Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU

The Bills have plenty of speed at the receiver and could use a big-bodied wideout such as Jefferson. We all know Josh Allen has a big arm, so pairing he and Jefferson, whose also an exceptionally polished route runner, would make Buffalo's offense even more dynamic in 2020.

#23 New England Patriots: Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson

One of the bigger knocks on New England's offense last season was the inability of their receivers to create separation. Higgins is a big-bodied wideout who reminds me a bit of D.K. Metcalf, who was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks last April. His ability to track the deep ball is something that could certainly help bring an extra boost to a Patriots offense that was below-average last season.

#24 New Orleans Saints: K.J. Hamler, WR, Penn State

New Orleans already has a big-bodied receiver in Michael Thomas. But giving Drew Brees an electric playmaker that has the ability to run by opposing corners in seconds, could help make the Saints' offense even more potent in 2020.

#25 Minnesota Vikings: Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina

Appalachian State v South Carolina

Minnesota's defensive front is already top-notch. Adding Kinlaw -- who some believe to be the best interior defensive lineman in this class -- would only make the Vikings even scarier upfront. Kinlaw is a freakish athlete who can make opposing offensive lineman look silly with his quick, off-the-ball instincts.

#26 Miami Dolphins: Patrick Queen, LB, LSU

Seeing as how Miami went with offensive selections with their first two picks, I say they change it up a bit and go with an elite coverage linebacker, who can also play sideline-to-sideline with pure ease.

#27 Seattle Seahawks: Grant Delpit, S, LSU

I know Seattle already has Bradley McDougald and Quandre Diggs at safety, but Diggs could slide to corner if needed. Delpit is a physical, ball-hawking safety who is incredibly athletic and would give the Seahawks a rangy, hard-hitting safety who can start for seasons to come.

#28 Baltimore Ravens: Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma

For a team that's as loaded as the Ravens are, they could use an upgrade at linebacker. Murray would provide Baltimore with an instinctual linebacker, who can tackle consistently and play zone just about as good as any backer in this draft class.

#29 Tennessee Titans: Yetur Gross-Matos, Edge, Penn State

Gross-Matos is extremely effective at winning with first contact against opposing offensive lineman. Seeing as how Cameron Wake is 38 years old, the Titans could use another young, talented edge rusher. I like Gross-Matos' upside a lot, and he would certainly bring an extra amount of toughness to Tennessee every time he steps on to the field.

#30 Green Bay Packers: Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU

The Packers are in dire need of some receiver help. Davante Adams certainly can't continue to be a one-man-band. Aaron Rodgers isn't getting any younger, either, so getting him some extra help at wideout should be first priority for the Packers. Reagor is another high-skilled route runner and has the movement to run any route with pure ease. He would immediately alleviate some of the pressure on both Adams and Rodgers, while also giving second-year play-caller, Matt LaFleur, some extra help as well.

#31 San Francisco 49ers: C.J. Henderson, CB, Florida

The 49ers corners eventually ran out of gas late in the Super Bowl, which ultimately contributed to their downfall. The physical, 6'1" corner C.J. Henderson has the ability to travel with almost any receiver. Landing the ball-hawking playmaker at 31 would almost be too perfect of a scenario for John Lynch and company. Henderson is a Day 1 starter and would provide an instant upgrade at corner for San Francisco.

#32 Kansas City Chiefs: Johnathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin

Kansas City's offense is already the NFL's best. Adding a shifty, play-making back to pair with Damien Williams makes a lot of sense here. The 5'11," 219 lbs back can make opposing defenders miss with ease, while at the same time being a reliable pass-catching threat, too.

Giving Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes another versatile weapon, which would only add to an already dynamic offense, just seems too unfair. I really like Taylor's ceiling, and finding another back to pair with Williams should be of priority for the Chiefs.
