2020 NFL mock draft: Chargers find Philip Rivers’ replacement

Week 10 of the 2019 NFL season is in the books, and based on what we saw Thursday night, it may be time for the Los Angeles Chargers to replace Philip Rivers.

The 2019 NFL season has brought plenty of surprises, including how poorly the Los Angeles Chargers have been playing on a week-to-week basis. Coming off a big win against the Green Bay Packers at home in Week 9, they hit the road to play division rival Oakland on Thursday, and not only came away with the loss, but with huge questions regarding quarterback Philip Rivers.

Here is our latest 2020 NFL mock draft, with the order thanks to tankathon.com.

The Cincinnati Bengals made the move to Ryan Finley as their quarterback in Week 10, as the former NC State signal-caller made his first NFL start. The team’s fourth round pick this past April, Finley was given a daunting task in his first start, as he had to take on the Baltimore Ravens and their top-ranked defense.

Well, you can expect how the outcome of this game went, as the Bengals were absolutely blasted by the Ravens, and Finley struggled throughout. While the move has been made to go away from Andy Dalton in Cincy, you can expect that if the Bengals have the first overall pick next April, they are bringing in a new franchise quarterback.

That player should be Joe Burrow, who performed incredibly on the national stage against Alabama this past weekend, keeping LSU’s undefeated season alive. Burrow has been an amazing story this season, and for the Bengals, he would be the kind of franchise quarterback they could put under center for the next 15 years.

The Washington Redskins have not only been trash on the field this season, but they have also been trash off of it, thanks to their front office. The organization has handled the Trent Williams head injury so poorly, that not only will he not play for them this season, but they are refusing to pay him any money.

With that aside, the Redskins will be looking at a very high pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, as it is not likely they are going to win many more games this season. With the No. 2 overall pick next April, they would be wise to bring in the most talented player in the entire draft class, selecting Ohio State’s Chase Young, an outstanding edge rusher.

Young will likely sit out the next few weeks due to a ridiculous suspension, but it will not affect his draft status in the least. We have seen Ohio State edge rushers come in and disrupt this league, and in Young, the Redskins would be getting the kind of cornerstone defensive player that this franchise is lacking right now.
