{"numbering":"asc","slides":[{"index":1,"title":"1. Bengals: QB Joe Burrow, LSU ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_1burrow_0.png","caption":"

Nothing that happened at the combine in Indianapolis changes what I think about the top of the draft. The Bengals are still gonna select ol’ small hands with the first pick and they shouldn’t look back. (All photos USA Today Images)

"},{"index":3,"title":"2. Redskins: Edge Chase Young, Ohio State","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_2young_0.png","caption":"

OK, now it’s starting to get interesting. I like that Washington is doing their homework on Tua and it’s not as crazy as it sounds. If the new regime isn’t sold on Dwayne Haskins and if they think Tua is a real franchise quarterback, why not take him? You don’t get opportunities like this every year. Ultimately, though, I think they decide to simply take the best player in the draft. (Or they trade with a team that wants their QB.)

"},{"index":5,"title":"3. Lions: CB Jeff Okudah, Ohio State ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_8okudah_0.png","caption":"

In my first mock, I had the Lions going for Isaiah Simmons and I think that’s still in play. The Lions should be trying to trade this pick for a team that wants Tua. They can move down a few spots and still get a top-notch defensive player.

"},{"index":7,"title":"4. Giants: OT Mekhi Becton, Louisville","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_26becton.png","caption":"

I really like the idea of the Giants taking an offensive tackle here — time to protect Daniel Jones — and I’m officially enamored with Becton. This dude is 364 pounds and ran a 5.10. Dave Gettleman doesn’t even need one of those pesky computers to tell him that’s incredible.

"},{"index":9,"title":"5. Dolphins: QB Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_5tua.png","caption":"

If the Dolphins are really able to sit back, relax and take Tua at No. 5, they’d probably be thrilled. But something tells me that draft day will be pretty wild and sitting at five won’t be good enough to get their franchise quarterback. For now, though, let’s say the Alabama QB goes here.

"},{"index":11,"title":"6. Chargers: QB Justin Herbert, Oregon ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_6herbert_0.png","caption":"

Time to find their next franchise quarterback and Herbert could fit that role. He’s big and strong and is a prototypical franchise mold.

"},{"index":13,"title":"7. Panthers: LB Isaiah Simmons, Clemson","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_3simmons_0.png","caption":"

If the draft plays out like this, with three QBs in the top six, they’ll have their pick of Simmons or Derrick Brown, two players who I think have top-5 type talent. They simply take their pick. It could be Brown, but I’m going with Simmons here. Love his athleticism and play-making ability.

"},{"index":15,"title":"8. Cardinals: WR Jerry Jeudy, Alabama","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_11jeudy_0.png","caption":"

The Cardinals don’t necessarily need to draft a receiver but I just want to surround Kyler Murray with as much talent as I can for the next decade. Larry Fitzgerald is back for another season but pairing Jeudy with Christian Kirk for the next few years would be pretty good.

"},{"index":17,"title":"9. Jaguars: DL Derrick Brown, Auburn ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_7brown_0.png","caption":"

Yeah, the Jaguars would be thrilled with this. If they sit at No. 9 and get a player like Brown, they’d be thrilled. But this is what happens when QBs start coming off the field.

"},{"index":19,"title":"10. Browns: OT Tristan Wirfs, Iowa ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_14wirfs_0.png","caption":"

If the Browns are really going to stick with Baker Mayfield, they need to protect him. Wirfs put up pretty ridiculous numbers at the combine. At 6-5, 320 pounds, he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.85 and put up 36.5” in the vertical jump.

"},{"index":21,"title":"11. Jets: OT Jedrick Wills, Alabama ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_10wills.png","caption":"

This pick has to be about Sam Darnold, either protecting him or giving him a playmaker. With the top receiver gone and with Wills on the board, I have them taking the tackle.

"},{"index":23,"title":"12. Raiders: WR CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_9lamb_0.png","caption":"

Let’s give the Raiders some offense here and take a guy who is one of the best receivers in the draft. Lamb might be WR1 but if he’s not and he’s there for the Raiders, they’ll be happy.

"},{"index":25,"title":"13. Colts: QB Jordan Love, Utah ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_love.png","caption":"

Good performances at the Senior Bowl and then combine should alleviate fears after a less-than-great 2019 season for Love. It’s not a stretch to think that Love could be off the board before Herbert.

"},{"index":27,"title":"14. Buccaneers: DT Javon Kinlaw, South Carolina ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_15kinlaw.png","caption":"

K’Lavon Chaisson would be a solid pick here but Kinlaw is the best player available and he’ll still give them help on their defensive line, where they need it. He’d be a great complement inside to Vita Vea and would really solidify that interior.

"},{"index":29,"title":"15. Broncos: WR Henry Ruggs III, Alabama ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_12ruggs.png","caption":"

At the combine, Vic Fangio said he wanted his offense under Pat Shurmur to be more aggressive. The way to do that is to get big-time playmakers who allow you to be aggressive. Ruggs and his 4.27 speed would help.

"},{"index":31,"title":"16. Falcons: Edge K’Lavon Chaisson, LSU ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_27chaisson.png","caption":"

In my last mock, I had A.J. Epenesa here but he didn’t perform very well at the combine. With Vic Beasley leaving, the Falcons need some help at edge rusher and Chaisson is one of the best in the class.

"},{"index":33,"title":"17. Cowboys: CB C.J. Henderson, Florida ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_20henderson_0.png","caption":"

Byron Jones is going to test the market and with other bigger problems, it’s hard to imagine he’ll be back in Dallas. So they end up picking the guy I think is the second-best corner in the draft class.

"},{"index":35,"title":"18. Dolphins: OL Andrew Thomas, Georgia ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_4thomas_0.png","caption":"

The other tackles in this draft tested really well in Indy but that could end up being a good thing for the Dolphins, who sit back and let a really good player fall in their laps. They get their OT to protect the franchise quarterback they took at No. 5.

"},{"index":37,"title":"19. Raiders: CB A.J. Terrell, Clemson ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/011320-aj-terrell-clemson-cfp.jpg","caption":"

The Raiders went offense with their first pick and now get a corner with their second. Terrell met with the Raiders at the combine and Mike Mayock is never shy about Clemson players. Adding Terrell would mean pairing him with his former teammate Trayvon Mullen.

"},{"index":39,"title":"20. Jaguars: CB Kristian Fulton, LSU","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_17fulton_0.png","caption":"

The Jags need to improve their secondary and getting a cover corner like Fulton at 20 after already getting an offensive line earlier. They need to replace A.J. Bouye, who they are reportedly trading to Denver.

"},{"index":41,"title":"21. Eagles: WR Justin Jefferson, LSU","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_jefferson_combine.jpg","caption":"

The top three receivers are already off the board but Jefferson is no consolation prize. His name is closer to those top three than the guys who will follow him. Jefferson crushed the combine, running a 4.43 at 6-1, 202 and he looked great in the field drills. And it’s not like that doesn’t match the tape. He was really a really good player at LSU. Sure, he had a lot of great players around him but the last three games of his college career were incredible. Against Georgia, Oklahoma and Clemson, Jefferson caught 30 passes for 448 yards and 5 touchdowns.

"},{"index":43,"title":"22. Bills: WR KJ Hamler, Penn State ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_otc_hamler.jpg","caption":"

The Bills need a playmaker and maybe this is too early for Kamler but he has first-round speed. The 5-9 receiver might not be the most polished player but the Bills need a downfield threat and he’s more versatile than you think when you hear about his size/speed combo. He didn’t run at the combine because he tweaked his hamstring but he’ll run at his pro day and he’ll fly.

"},{"index":45,"title":"23. Patriots: S Grant Delpit, LSU ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_21delpit_0.png","caption":"

This could be Xavier McKinney but I believe I’m in the minority to prefer Delpit. The Pats are in desperate need to get younger on their back end and is a versatile safety, who can do it all. There are issues with his tackling but they’re not as deep as some will have you believe.

"},{"index":47,"title":"24. Saints: WR Jalen Reagor, TCU","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_23reagor.png","caption":"

Drew Brees is back for another season so the Saints should make sure he has weapons at his disposal. Reagor excels with the ball in his hands and would be a great complement to Michael Thomas, who is one of the best receivers in the NFL. With how much attention Thomas draws, Reagor could come in and have a big rookie season.

"},{"index":49,"title":"25. Vikings: CB Trevon Diggs, Alabama ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/trevon_diggs_usatoday.jpg","caption":"

The Vikings are in need of cornerbacks and it just so happens that the best remaining one is the brother of their best receiver. How’s this for a way to make Stefon happy … draft his little brother?

"},{"index":51,"title":"26. Dolphins: DE Terrell Lewis, Alabama ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_18lewis_0.png","caption":"

Miami needs to figure out a way to get to opposing quarterbacks. So after taking a QB and an OT with their earlier first-round picks, they can go to defense here and get a really good edge rusher.

"},{"index":53,"title":"27. Seahawks: DE Yetur Gross-Matos, Penn State ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_gross_matos.png","caption":"

Seattle is about to lose Jadeveon Clowney and while it would be unfair to expect a rookie to come in and simply replace him, Gross-Matos could help immediately with a team that has to find a way to get to opposing quarterbacks more.

"},{"index":55,"title":"28. Ravens: LB Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_19murray_0.png","caption":"

I like Murray here a little more than LSU’s Patrick Queen but this might just end up being a matter of preference for the Ravens. In any case, it seems like a linebacker really fits for them at this spot.

"},{"index":57,"title":"29. Titans: OT Austin Jackson, USC ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_jackson.png","caption":"

Jack Conklin is heading toward free agency, so the Titans will need to be prepared with a backup plan. Getting Jackson from USC isn’t a bad one. He’s a good athlete that would go higher in most years; he just happens to be coming out in a pretty good top-heavy class.

"},{"index":59,"title":"30. Packers: WR Tee Higgins, Clemson ","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/usa_tee_higgins_clemson.jpg","caption":"

Higgins might end up going a tad higher but his fit in Green Bay as a complement to Davante Adams makes a lot of sense too. This would make Aaron Rodgers a happy man.

"},{"index":61,"title":"31. 49ers: Xavier McKinney, Alabama","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_mckinney.png","caption":"

The 49ers might lose Jimmie Ward so here’s a replacement. I have McKinney as the second safety off the board but there’s a chance he could go before Delpit too.

"},{"index":63,"title":"32. Chiefs: RB D’Andre Swift, Georgia","image":"https://www.nbcsports.com/sites/rsnunited/files/archive/assets_media_gallery/philadelphia/2020/03/04/us_swift.png","caption":"

This is the kind of luxury pick you can make coming off a Super Bowl title. The Chiefs don’t have glaring needs at positions that might be viewed as more important. So here they can get the best running back in the class and another dynamic element to that already scary offense.
