2020 NFL Mock Draft: Jets trade up, Vikings trade Stefon Diggs and then draft his brother

Joe Burrow doesn’t want to go to Cincinnati? It is an overblown narrative.

Washington fields some trade offers but decides it is in their best interest to stay put and take the elite pass rusher.

It is calm. The trade market for quarterbacks was not as robust as many, including the Lions, expected so Matt Patricia and Bob Quinn hold tight and take Okudah.

Quarterback-needy teams do not feel the urgency to trade up so they sit on their picks. New York, meanwhile, secures a player considered to be one of the best offensive tackle prospects.

Tagovailoa and the Dolphins finally unite but not at No. 1 as many expected prior to the season. Miami is willing to let him sit out his rookie season.

Los Angeles punts on the quarterback position and upgrades the heart of their defense with Brown. Although massive in size, Brown is not just a run stopper; he is more than capable of applying pressure from the interior.

Matt Rhule likes to roll his quarterbacks so he takes one fit to throw on the run and from different arm angles. Seeing Justin Herbert still on the board, some teams below start making calls.

New York looks at the teams sitting 8-9-10 and decides they should nab one of those offensive tackles before a run occurs. Becton is off the board in exchange for No. 11 overall and a 2020 third-round pick. They have two third-round picks following an in-season trade of Leonard Williams.

Jacksonville calmly watches as Simmons falls into their lap. A year ago, they were the beneficiaries of Josh Allen’s slide to No. 7 overall. Lightning strikes twice for the evidently fortunate franchise.

The Browns are faced with a decision between Tristan Wirfs and Thomas. Either would be a great fit but they pass in the card for Thomas to protect Baker Mayfield next season.

After moving back a few spots and picking up an additional pick, Arizona selects Kyler Murray’s favorite target at Oklahoma — Lamb. They reunite with visions of grandeur in Kliff Kingsbury’s offense.

Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock may not have envisioned Herbert would still be on the board but they capitalize on the gift of circumstance. Herbert leads the organization into the Las Vegas era.

Indianapolis has been too reliant on T.Y. Hilton’s availability over the years. And Hilton has been injury prone. They become less dependent by adding Jeudy, who is the draft’s best technician. Now, do they sign Philip Rivers?

Tampa Bay has some needs but arguably none are more important than offensive tackle. They supply their next quarterback with some additional protection off the edge.

Courtland Sutton. Noah Fant. Drew Lock. Ruggs. Add some more talent across the offensive line and Denver will be able to exclusively focus on upgrading the defense.

Epenesa to the Falcons may sound like a broken record at this point but there is a reason. He would be a great fit for Dan Quinn’s scheme given they were in desperate need of pass rush support in 2019.

Dallas needs a safety. If Byron Jones walks, then they need a cornerback and a safety. Delpit has seen his stock diminish but I believe a strong combine performance will get his name trending back in the right direction.

Miami can ill-afford exiting the first round without addressing the offensive tackle position; especially after adding a recently injury-prone Tagovailoa. Jones will need some development, but that was once said about Ja’Wuan James as well.

After adding their quarterback, and without a top wide receiver prospect available, Las Vegas addresses the interior defensive line. They make a move to get younger with a pick for the future.

After adding Simmons with the first of two first-round picks, Jacksonville cements their early bid for the best draft on paper. McKinney is a tremendous talent with uber-versatility. He can fulfill a variety of roles in the new-look Jaguars defense that has added Josh Allen, Simmons and McKinney over the span of two years.

Philadelphia, in desperate need of some pass-catchers, drafts Higgins, a gifted player, and hope that he can stay healthy.

Rather than reaching for a wide receiver to chase down Josh Allen’s passes, Buffalo makes the wise choice of taking one of the best players on the board, which happens to be an ideal replacement for veteran Jerry Hughes.

Kyle Van Voy and Jamie Collins are scheduled to hit free agency next month. If you believe that Bill Belichick does not have a contingency plan in place, then you do not know Belichick. Chaisson is a Top-10 caliber talent if he remains healthy and is deployed in a manner that best suits his skillset.

New Orleans has an odd assortment of middle linebackers. They abandon the platoon model for a young, active sideline to sideline linebacker.

Minnesota adds some pass rush talent up the middle. Gallimore is an active player that should rejuvenate the rest of the defense.

Miami landed a quarterback and an offensive tackle tasked with protecting him. Their next objective is to upgrade their pass rush. Lewis can step in and fulfill that objective.

Henderson is a long cornerback similar to what Seattle has prioritized in the past. He is such a fluid player with high upside.

Minnesota trades Diggs back home to Baltimore in exchange for the No. 28 overall selection. Lamar Jackson gets another weapon to help stretch the field on offense. Meanwhile, the Vikings draft his younger brother with the pick acquired. Cornerback is a big need for them.

Baun is a smart player that does a great job separating himself from defenders. Mike Vrabel will move him all over the field to create opportunities.

Green Bay has not taken a wide receiver in the first round since 2002. They also hadn’t been notoriously big spenders in free agency until last offseason either. The Packers have Davante Adams and Laviska Shenault for the future.

Jefferson provides some big-play ability with his great body control and evasive abilities after the catch. San Francisco added Deebo Samuel and Emmanuel Sanders last year but they still need more consistency at the position.

Kansas City needs to plug a hole at cornerback. Hall is coming off an injury but has not slipped in the rankings. He is a special player when healthy. The Chiefs would be wise to take him late in the first round.
