BILL WUNKLE’S FINAL 2020 NFL MOCK DRAFT

You are looking live at the city that never sleeps and the new home of the Raiders – Las Vegas, Nevada. Fast forward to reality. This is The Padded Cell and the nation is in mandatory quarantine as we’re in the midst of a global pandemic. However, the 2020 NFL draft will begin as scheduled. That means it is time for Bill Wunkle’s final 2020 NFL mock draft. The rules are as follows:

  • This draft will consist of one round, but Browns picks in the following rounds will be listed.
  • Not only are trades allowed, but they are encouraged.
  • Comments will be listed for Browns picks and when there’s a trade.

And now, on with the show.

ROUND ONE

  1. Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow – QB – LSU
  2. Washington Redskins: Chase Young – DE – Ohio State
  3. Miami Dolphins: Jedrick Wills –OT – Alabama

Comments: The Dolphins send picks #18 and #26 plus #56 to the Detroit Lions so that they can move ahead of the New York Giants and land the offensive lineman they covet.

4. New York Giants: Tristan Wirfs – OT – Iowa

5. Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa – QB – Alabama

6. Los Angeles Chargers: Justin Herbert – QB – Oregon

7. Carolina Panthers: Isaiah Simmons – LB/S – Clemson

8. Arizona Cardinals: Mekhi Becton – OT – Louisville

9. Jacksonville Jaguars: Derrick Brown – DT – Auburn

10. Denver Broncos: Jeff Okudah – CB – Ohio State

Comments: The Browns wanted Tristan Wirfs or Mekhi Becton, so they exercise plan B and practice the analytical approach to the draft and exchange pick #10 overall for #15 and #46. Personally, I would take Andrew Thomas here, plug him in at left tackle and get on with the season.

11. New York Jets: CeeDee Lamb – WR – Oklahoma

12. Las Vegas Raiders: Jerry Jeudy – WR – Alabama

13. San Francisco 49ers: Henry Ruggs III – WR – Alabama

14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Andrew Thomas – OT – Georgia

15. Minnesota Vikings: K’Lavon Chaisson – DE – LSU

Comments: Andrew Berry takes a page from Eric Mangini and trades down more than one time in the first round. In exchange for moving up to #15, Minnesota gives Cleveland picks #22 and #56.

16. Atlanta Falcons: CJ Henderson – CB – LSU

17. Dallas Cowboys: Xavier McKinney – S – Alabama

18. Detroit Lions: Javon Kinlaw – DT – South Carolina

Comments: While the Lions need a cornerback, they find a real need with value in Kinlaw.

19. Las Vegas Raiders: Kristian Fulton – CB – LSU

20. Jacksonville Jaguars: Grant Delpit – S – LSU

21. Philadelphia Eagles: Tee Higgins – WR – Clemson

22. Cleveland Browns: Kenneth Murray – LB – Oklahoma

Comments: The Browns address a glaring need at the linebacker position and decide to address the offensive left tackle position either later in the draft or with a veteran player.

23. New England Patriots: Jordan Love – QB – Utah State

24. New Orleans Saints: Trevon Diggs – CB – Alabama

25. Minnesota Vikings: Yetur Gross-Matos – DE – Penn State

26. Detroit Lions: AJ Terrell – CB – Clemson

Comments: The Lions improve their front four with Kinlaw and get their replacement for Darius Slade in Terrell.

27. Seattle Seahawks: AJ Epenesa – DE – Iowa

28. Baltimore Ravens: Patrick Queen – LB – LSU

29. Tennessee Titans: Josh Jones – OT – Houston

30. Green Bay Packers: Justin Jefferson – WR – LSU

31. San Francisco 49ers: Neville Gallimore – DT – Oklahoma

32. Kansas City Chiefs: Jonathan Taylor – RB – Wisconsin

OTHER BROWNS SELECTIONS

41. Austin Jackson – OT – USC

Comments: The Browns manage to get an athletic left tackle with great character in round two.

46. Jeremy Chinn – S – Southern Illinois

Comments: I’m higher on this kid than many, but I’ve seen this kid play and he’s a player.

56. Damon Arnette – CB – Ohio State

Comments: While not a glaring need, this is a sound selection.

74. Jonathan Greenard – DE – Florida

Comments: The Browns need a pass rusher, and Greenard can fill the role of a rotational pass rusher in year one.

97. Malik Harrison – LB – Ohio State

Comments: Yes, I know we took a linebacker in round one, but we need more than one linebacker.

115. Quez Watkins – WR – Southern Mississippi

Comments: I look at the film on this kid, and I cannot believe where he’s ranked on their boards because he reminds me so much of one Odell Beckham Jr.

187. Khalil Davis – DT – Nebraska

Comments: Not a real need, but this would be a good developmental pick.

244. Binjimen Victor – WR – Ohio State

Comments: I like his size in RED ZONE and goal to go situations.

Okay, that wraps it up. I hope that you at least found it entertaining. Let me know what you think.
