NFL mock draft with every college football player eligible: Do Bengals take Joe Burrow or Trevor Lawrence?
The Vikings used their first round pick to get a cornerback and now they take a receiver to replace Diggs. He’s not eligible for the 2020 NFL Draft but Justyn Ross projects to be the second receiver in next year’s class behind Chase who went No. 8 in this mock draft. Ross has been one of Lawrence’s top targets over the last two years at Clemson. The 6-foot-4 Ross has 17 touchdowns in his first two years and could approach that total in 2020 alone.
The Dolphins have already added Tua and Ruggs with their first of three first-round picks. Head coach Brian Flores may be tempted to add to his defense with a pair of LSU defenders still on the board in Kristian Fulton and Patrick Queen that would fit well on this team. However, the Dolphins remake of the offense continues with running back D’Andre Swift.
Running backs in the first round are frowned upon when it comes to position value but with three first-rounders, the Dolphins make the investment. Swift has the best all-around skills of the backs in this class and his presence would lighten the load on Tua as he assimilates to the NFL game.
