The draft set-up will look drastically different this year due to Coronavirus, but that won’t take away from the excitement and anticipation when your favorite team is on the clock.
As every week passes by, football fans get more and more updates around the league as to where players are likely to land come Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft.

Right now, the Cincinnati Bengals are on the clock, and with months to prepare for the top overall pick, it would be a shocker if they don’t select LSU star QB and Heisman winner, Joe Burrow. Burrow is coming off one of the greatest seasons a college quarterback ever put together. Though his excellence was only shown in his last season at LSU, the upside is his athletic ability and cerebral power to diagnose plays on the fly–plus all of his other intangibles and tangibles like his incredible deep ball accuracy – it would be a stunner if the Bengals didn’t select the Ohio native.
So what happens after Burrow? Most people have the Washington Redskins taking DE phenom Chase Young out of Ohio State. I agree. If the ‘Skins hold their position at #2, they will draft Young. However, I don’t think the Hogs will have the 2nd overall pick by the time the draft begins.
What do I mean? Here’s my “Master Mock Draft” and, quite possibly, my last unless there are some drastic changes between now and April 23rd. I have included potential trades, too! My top 3 remains the same from before, including the trade, but I did mix it up a bit after the first few selections.
