2020 NFL mock draft: Wide receivers dominate the first round

The Minnesota Vikings are another one of a handful of NFL teams who will hold multiple first round picks later this month. A few picks back, the Vikings landed a wide receiver to replace Stefon Diggs for the 2020 season, and here, they bring in a player who can also fill the void left by one of their veteran leaders.

Everson Griffen will be moving on in 2020, and in his place, the Vikings select Penn State edge rusher Yetur Gross-Matos.  This is a kid who can flat out get the edge, and the Vikings need to make sure they do not take a step back along their defensive line with Griffen landing elsewhere.

Minnesota has the talent to be a playoff team again this season, and we have finally seen that Kirk Cousins can go on the road and win a playoff game. Gross-Matos is going to be a special player at the NFL level, possibly a double-digit guy, and he slides right in as a starter for this team in 2020.

The Miami Dolphins final of three first round draft picks in 2020 will land at pick No. 26, in a selection that they got from the Houston Texans. To get this pick, the Dolphins had to trade away former first round offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, so they replace him with Josh Jones from Houston here.

Josh Jones is a bit of a project right now, but for a Dolphins team planning for the future, they find a gem all the way at the bottom of the first round. After bringing in a franchise quarterback in Tua Tagovailoa early in round one, they get the guy who will protect his blindside for the foreseeable future, as they continue to bolster the roster.

Remember, this is a Miami team that will also have two first round picks in 2021, and they have already made some noise via free agency this offseason. Head coach Brian Flores proved he can coach at the NFL level as the main guy in 2019, and next season, the organization actually puts some talent players around him.
