2020 NFL mock draft: Wide receivers dominate the first round

The 2020 NFL Draft is loaded with wide receiver talent, and a handful of them dominate the first round in our latest mock draft.

The 2020 NFL Draft is going to happen, as teams will be expected to make their selections virtually throughout the three-day event. While this is certainly outside of the norm, it will help to keep safety as a priority, as teams look to round out their roster heading into the summer months.

Here is our latest 2020 NFL mock draft.

The Cincinnati Bengals will kick off the 2020 NFL Draft with the No. 1 overall selection, and they are likely to bring in a new franchise quarterback. Everywhere you look it is Joe Burrow being mocked to the Bengals, and our latest 2020 NFL mock is no different, as they bring in the current Heisman Trophy winner.

Last season, the Bengals finished with the worst record in the league, but they did play competitive football in most of their games. Zac Taylor had his team playing hard during his first season as the head coach, and the hope is they can continue to revamp this roster and be competitive in the AFC North sooner rather than later.

In Burrow, the hope is that he can be the franchise quarterback that finally leads them to a playoff win, something that Andy Dalton was never able to do. Cincinnati has some good young talent on their roster, and Burrow could be the missing piece of the puzzle for an organization that has not won a playoff game since 1990.

The Washington Redskins will have the No. 2 overall selection this April, that is if they decide to stay in this most important draft spot. After drafting a quarterback in the first round last year, they are likely not going to be in the market for one in 2020, so trading out of this spot is very much a possibility.

Looking at this draft class, the Redskins could decide to stay put, bringing in the player who many believe is the best player available. That player is Chase Young from Ohio State, who would team with Montez Sweat and Ryan Kerrigan to give the Redskins a dynamic trio coming off the edge in 2020 and beyond.

New head coach Ron Rivera is a defensive genius, and it is going to be hard for him to trade out of the No. 2 spot and lose the opportunity to coach such a talent like Young. This will be the first big decision of the night in round one, as we figure Burrow is going No. 1, and then it could get very interesting after that.
