There is no doubt that LSU quarterback Joe Burrow will be the 1st player selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the 2020 NFL draft.  A review of over 350 athletes eligible for the draft has Burrow as No. 2 overall (behind edge rusher Chase Young) and the best quarterback among all the players.

This article does not speculate on who will select each quarterback and with which pick.  It ranks the top quarterbacks based on their ability to compete with 254 other players for a draft slot in the 2020 draft.

For example, the research done for this article seems to indicate that ‘Mr. Irrelevant’, the last player selected in the draft, will be Colorado quarterback Steven Montez.  He will be selected by the New York Giants with the 255th pick.

The following selections are listed by the expected round the player will be picked, position rank and overall rank of football players eligible for the 2020 NFL draft.  You can print the article and use it as a checklist to identify who has been selected and who is still available on the draft board.
