CFN in 60: 2020 Top Five Overall Prospects
One key note here. It’s not a fair for a mock draft to project trades. It’s very, very possible that Washington at the 2 and Detroit at the 3 will move down, until something is concrete, you have to play the mock drafts straight.
2020 NFL Mock Draft Round 1
1. Cincinnati
Mock Draft Pick: QB Joe Burrow, LSU
The Bengals should trade away the No. 1 overall pick to someone with several first round selections – hello, Miami – and move down in a deep draft, but they won’t. Burrow is deeply flawed as a top selection – if there wasn’t a 2019 season, he would’ve been a fifth-rounder – but he’s a must-get to get the franchise rolling again.
– BetMGM Team To Trade 1st Pick on Draft Day
Cincinnati +1000
2. Washington
Mock Draft Pick: DE Chase Young, Washington
Do not get remotely comfortable with the idea that Young is heading to Washington. Watch out for several teams to offer a whole lot of cash and prizes to get up to the No. 2 spot for a quarterback – think Chicago Bears paying to move one pick up to get Mitchell Trubisky in 2017. If there’s no movement, this is a no-brainer.
– BetMGM Chase Young Draft Position
Over 2.5 +800, Under 2.5 -1429
– BetMGM Which Team Will Draft Chase Young
Washington -1250
– BetMGM Position of Washington 1st Drafted Player
Offense +850, Defense -1667
3. Detroit
Mock Draft Pick: CB Jeff Okudah, Ohio State
See the Washington pick. Get ready for several teams to try getting up to the 3 to jump ahead of Miami and the Chargers to grab Tua Tagovailoa or Justin Herbert. The Lions, though, desperately need a corner, and they have a shot at the prototype of prototypes.
– BetMGM Jeff Okudah Draft Position
Over 4.5 -130, Under 4.5 +105
– BetMGM Which Team Will Draft Jeff Okudah
Detroit -176
– BetMGM Position of Detroit 1st Drafted Player
Offense +380, Defense -527
4. NY Giants
Mock Draft Pick: OT Tristan Wirfs, Iowa
A case can be made that Washington should stand pat at the 2 and grab an elite DE talent in Chase Young, and Detroit should probably stick at 3 since it needs a corner and it has a superstar right there in Jeff Okudah. There’s no reason the Giants should stay at 4 in a deep draft of offensive tackles. This is WAY too high for Wirfs, especially with at least four other good OT options available in the first round.
– BetMGM Tristan Wirfs Draft Position
Over 8.5 +135, Under 8.5 -162
– BetMGM Position of NY 1st Drafted Player
Offense -304, Defense +235
– BetMGM Exact Position of 1st Drafted Player (if it’s an OT) -304
5. Miami
Mock Draft Pick: QB Tua Tagovailoa, Alabama
This is a gigantic wild-card in every way possible. Will Miami stay with this pick? It has three first round selections and might use them to move around. Will it go with Tagovailoa over Justin Herbert? Will either of those two still be around at the 5? Don’t be shocked if Miami gets its quarterback at the 2 or 3.
– BetMGM Tua Tagovailoa Draft Position
Over 5.5 +110, Under 5.5 -136
– BetMGM Which Team Will Draft Tua Tagovailoa
Miami -106
– BetMGM Position of Miami 1st Drafted Player
Offense -715, Defense +490
6. LA Chargers
Mock Draft Pick: QB Justin Herbert, Oregon
There’s a thought that the Chargers really might go with Tyrod Taylor for wee bit and go with a quarterback – Jacob Eason or Jake Fromm – a bit later. They need a top offensive tackle, too, so they might trade down for multiple picks, but … nah. The franchise needs a young superstar quarterback to build around, and it might have to move up to do it.
– BetMGM Justin Herbert Draft Position
Over 5.5 -110, Under 5.5 -110
– BetMGM Which Team Will Draft Justin Herbert
LA Chargers +200
– BetMGM Position of LA 1st Drafted Player
Offense -715, Defense +490
7. Carolina
Mock Draft Pick: LB Isaiah Simmons, Clemson
It’s a value pick at the fantastic time. Carolina might need a corner, and it could use a boost to the defensive line, but it can sit there at the seven and wait for a fantastic prospect to fall to its spot. It’s Christmas for Matt Rhule and the new regime if Simmons – a top four talent in this draft – drops this far.
– BetMGM Isaiah Simmons Draft Position
Over 6.5 -139, Under 6.5 +115

8. Arizona
Mock Draft Pick: OT Mekhi Becton, Louisville
This is a draft about building up the infrastructure around Kyler Murray. The defense needs a LOT of help, but that can come later on. For now, the Cardinals will find a tackle to keep the Face of the Franchise healthy. There might be concerns about Becton’s failed drug test at the combine, but how do you know teams want him? They’re talking about how his stock might drop.
– BetMGM Position of Arizona 1st Drafted Player
Offense -278, Defense +220
9. Jacksonville
Mock Draft Pick: DT Derrick Brown, Auburn
One of the hottest prospects in the late stages of the draft process, Brown could be a top five overall pick as a cornerstone type that every team wants to lead its D line. The Jaguars need a quarterback, but they should be able to roll the dice that Jordan Love or Jacob Eason will be there at the 20.
– BetMGM Derrick Brown Draft Position
Over 8.5 +110, Under 8.5 -136
– BetMGM Which Team Will Draft Derrick Brown
Jacksonville +260
– BetMGM Position of Jacksonville 1st Drafted Player
Offense +125, Defense -150
10. Cleveland
Mock Draft Pick: OT Jedrick Wills, Alabama
Insert one of the top offensive tackles here. Between Tristan Wirfs, Mekhi Becton, Georgia’s Andrew Thomas, or Wills, one will be here at a need spot for a Brown line that needs a whole lot more help.
– BetMGM Jedrick Wills Draft Position
Over 8.5 +130, Under 8.5 -162
– BetMGM Which Team Will Draft Jedrick Wills
Cleveland +500
– BetMGM Position of Cleveland 1st Drafted Player
Offense -667, Defense -450
11. NY Jets
Mock Draft Pick: WR Jerry Jeudy, Alabama
The Jets have to give Sam Darnold more weapons to work with. This is a phenomenal draft for top wide receivers, and Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb and Alabama’s Henry Ruggs would be easy calls. Jeudy is the best of the bunch.
– BetMGM Jerry Jeudy Draft Position
Over 12.5 +120, Under 12.5 -145
– BetMGM Position of NY 1st Drafted Player
Offense -556, Defense +400
– BetMGM Exact Position of 1st Drafted Player (if it’s a WR) +110
12. Las Vegas
Mock Draft Pick: WR Henry Ruggs, Alabama
GM Mike Mayock can get a prime player at the 19, so here he can go grab a game-changing wide receiver to electrify the offense. CeeDee Lamb is an option and Jerry Jeudy is the perfect fit, but even with the move to Vegas, these are still the Raiders. Speed, speed, speed, speed, and speed.

13. San Francisco (from Indianapolis)
Mock Draft Pick: WR CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma
Whatever receiver is left on the board between Lamb, Henry Ruggs and Jerry Jeudy goes to the 49ers. There’s no wrong answer among the three stars, and if they’re all gone, a top offensive tackle would fit as well.
– BetMGM CeeDee Lamb Draft Position

– BetMGM Which Team Will Draft CeeDee Lamb
San Francisco +400
– BetMGM Position of SF 1st Drafted Player
Offense +135, Defense -164
14. Tampa Bay
Mock Draft Pick: OT Andrew Thomas, Georgia
It’s a little delusional to think you’re protecting Tom Brady with a rookie tackle, but it’s a need position that has to be addressed. There will be good ones still available, and Thomas would be a terrific value get.
– BetMGM Andrew Thomas Draft Position
Over 10.5 -121, Under 10.5 +100
– BetMGM Position of TB 1st Drafted Player
Offense -400, Under +310
15. Denver
Mock Draft Pick: CB CJ Henderson, Florida
There should be a whole lot of trades and a whole lot of playing around with the parts in the top 14, but this is where it starts to get a little bit quirky. If any of the three top wide receivers last this long … done. Denver would love to have Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs, or CeeDee Lamb at this spot, but it needs a corner, too.
– BetMGM CJ Henderson Draft Position
Over 12.5 -167, Under 12.5 +140
– BetMGM Position of Denver 1st Drafted Player
Offense -286, Defense +225
16. Atlanta
Mock Draft Pick: CB AJ Terrell, Clemson
It’s a wee bit early for one of the top safeties, and it’s a wee bit of a reach for Terrell here, but the corners dry up fast this year. The Falcons will likely grab one while they can.
– BetMGM Which Round for AJ Terrell
1 -223, 2-7 +175
– BetMGM Position of Atlanta 1st Drafted Player
Offense +300, Defense -385
17. Dallas
Mock Draft Pick: DE K’Lavon Chaisson, LSU
Atlanta needs a pass rusher and Chaisson could go with the 16. Dallas needs more guys on the edge and it needs a corner help, too. This is a good Best Player Available spot to be in.
– BetMGM K’Lavon Chaisson Draft Position
Over 16.5 -136, Under 16.5 +110
– BetMGM Position of Dallas 1st Drafted Player
Offense +240, Defense -304
18. Miami (from Pittsburgh)
Mock Draft Pick: OT Joshua Jones, Houston
This is going on a big assumption that Miami stays put with is three first round spots. If it gets a quarterback early, then it needs to upgrade the lines starting with the offensive side. It’s a deep group of tackles and one of them – Jones the most likely of the bunch – is going to slide.
– BetMGM Joshua Jones Draft Position
Over 27.5 -110, Under 27.5 -110
19. Las Vegas (from Chicago)
Mock Draft Pick: DT Javon Kinlaw, South Carolina
Assuming the Raiders get their wide receiver at the 12, they can wait around and let a value pick to slide to them at the 19. They could use some offensive line help, but Kinlaw fits. He’s a tools guy who works and has incredible upside – Mike Mayock will snatch him up in a hiccup.
– BetMGM Javon Kinlaw Draft Position
Over 13.5 -106, Under 13.5 -115
– BetMGM Position of Las Vegas 1st Drafted Player
Offense -200, Defense +165
20. Jacksonville (from LA Rams)
Mock Draft Pick: QB Jordan Love, Utah State
There’s a good chance Jacksonville goes after a quarterback with the nine, but it might roll the dice. There’s a shot it really might decide that Gardner Minshew is worth building around if all the top quarterbacks go early, but Love is just questionable enough that he should and could drop this far. Don’t like Love at the 9, but love him at the 20.
– BetMGM Jordan Love Draft Position
Over 19.5 -176, Under 19.5 +145

2020 NFL Mock Draft, First Round Picks 21-32
21. Philadelphia
Mock Draft Pick: WR Brandon Aiyuk, Arizona State
The Eagles could go with one of the top offensive tackles if once slides down to the 21, but they also need an upgrade at receiver. The first wave of top targets will be gone, and the Eagles will kick off the second group with its choice of good options.
– BetMGM Which Round for Brandon Aiyuk
1 +110, 2-7 -134
– BetMGM Position of Philadelphia 1st Drafted Player
Offense -200, Defense +165
– BetMGM Philadelphia Exact Position of 1st Drafted Player (if it’s a WR) -228
22. Minnesota (from Buffalo)
Mock Draft Pick: CB Jaylon Johnson, Utah
The Vikings have the 22 and the 25. They need a wide receiver, but they DESPERATELY need a corner even more. They might hope for Clemson’s AJ Terrell to slide down this far, and TCU’s Jeff Gladney might be the call, but Johnson has the all-around tools and quickness who can fit in right away.
– BetMGM Position of Minnesota 1st Drafted Player
Offense +150, Defense -182
23. New England
Mock Draft Pick: DE AJ Epenesa, Iowa
Epenesa is a top 15 all-round talent, maybe even top ten. There’s a chance that New England uses some of its many, many draft picks over this draft and the next to move up to go after one of the top quarterbacks. There’s a shot it could go too-early with a tight end, but Epenesa is the all-around D lineman who fits in too perfectly.
– BetMGM AJ Epenesa Draft Position
Over 30.5 -110, Under 30.5 -110
– BetMGM Position of New England 1st Drafted Player
Offense -110, Defense -110
– BetMGM New England Exact Position of 1st Drafted Player (if it’s Epenesa) +375
24. New Orleans
Mock Draft Pick: LB Patrick Queen, LSU
Perfect pick, perfect time. New Orleans doesn’t need to fill any glaring holes and could use an overall upgrade and to get a bit younger. Queen might be undersized, but he has the speed and hitting ability to be one of those missing final pieces of the puzzle.
– BetMGM Patrick Queen Draft Position
Over 23.5 -115, Under 23.5 -106
– BetMGM Position of NO 1st Drafted Player
Offense +105, Defense -125
25. Minnesota
Mock Draft Pick: WR Justin Jefferson, LSU
Assuming the Vikings get the corner they need at the 22, they still might go corner here, too, in the attempt to upgrade the position fast. With Stefon Diggs gone, they need a new playmaking receiver. Jefferson would be a great gets here.
– BetMGM Justin Jefferson Draft Position
Over 21.5 +130, Under 21.5 -159
26. Miami (from Houston)
Mock Draft Pick: RB Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin
If Miami keeps all of its first round picks and doesn’t try moving up, here’s where it looks to lock down the backfield for the future. Assume it goes with a quarterback early on at the 5 – again, if it doesn’t move up – and starts to solidify the offensive line at the 18. Now is when it can take the home run cut with a desperately needed top-shelf running back.
– BetMGM Jonathan Taylor Draft Position
Over 36.5 -134, Under 36.5 +110

27. Seattle
Mock Draft Pick: LB Zack Baun, Wisconsin
Just how much will the NFL care about the weird diluted urine sample at the combine? If all things check out fine, Baun is the perfect fit for what the Seattle defense does. It would be nice to get a pure pass rusher, but the franchise never goes chalk with its top picks.
– BetMGM Position of Seattle 1st Drafted Player
Offense +135, Defense -164
28. Baltimore
Mock Draft Pick: LB Kenneth Murray, Oklahoma
Assume New Orleans goes with a linebacker with its pick at the 24, and Baltimore will grab the other top guy here. This is way too long for a hitter like Murray to be on the board, but he’s exactly what the D needs.
– BetMGM Kenneth Murray Draft Position
Over 21.5 -125, Under 21.5 +105
– BetMGM Position of Baltimore 1st Drafted Player
Offense +110, Defense -134
29. Tennessee
Mock Draft Pick: DE Yetur Gross-Matos, Penn State
The Titans need to ramp up the pass rush to another level. They might be trying to find some new parts in free agency, but they need as many new options on the defensive front as possible. Gross-Matos isn’t a finished product, but his upside is through the roof.
– BetMGM Yetur Gross-Matos Draft Position
Over 26.5 -125, Under 26.5 +105
– BetMGM Position of Tennessee 1st Drafted Player
Offense +115, Defense -139
30. Green Bay
Mock Draft Pick: DT Ross Blacklock, TCU
It just fits. There might be an idea of going with a wide receiver to add more desperately needed weapons to the mix. The D line doesn’t need a whole lot of help, but Blacklock is a great get to rotate into the equation to take an already good situation and make it better. The receivers and a a tight end will be there later.

31. San Francisco
Mock Draft Pick: OT Ezra Cleveland, Boise State
The 49ers should be able to address their receiver concerns at the 13, and now comes the upgrade for the offensive line. In a deep and talented class of offensive tackles, Cleveland is a terrific prospect who can start early on.
32. Kansas City
Mock Draft Pick: OT Isaiah Wilson, Georgia
There’s talk of Kansas City moving up to try making a great situation even better, but it can stick around here and still get a star prospect. Corner might be the biggest concern – and a few good ones are still on the board – but the franchise comes down to three things: 1) Protect Patrick Mahomes, 2) protect Patrick Mahomes, 3) protect Patrick Mahomes. Continuing to upgrade the offensive line will always matter as long as No. 15 is back there.

33. Cincinnati
Mock Draft Pick: C/G Cesar Ruiz, Michigan
If you’re going to invest the No. 1 overall pick in a quarterback, you need to do everything possible to help him succeed. Giving Joe Burrow a versatile interior offensive lineman to work behind might not seem exciting, but it’s a must.
34. Indianapolis (from Washington)
Mock Draft Pick: S Xavier McKinney, Alabama
Value, value, value. McKinney has top 20 potential but should slide a bit with so many other key options on the board. It’s Indy’s first pick in the draft, and even with other concerns and needs, getting the quarterback of the secondary for the next several years would be huge.
– BetMGM McKinney Draft Position
Over 24.5 -110, Under 24.5 -110

Offense -159, Defense +130
– BetMGM Indianapolis Exact Position of 1st Drafted Player (if it’s McKinney) +1400
35. Detroit
Mock Draft Pick: DE Terrell Lewis, Alabama
There’s a shot this is part of a haul of picks for Detroit if it trades out of the three. If it stays put and takes CB Jeff Okudah at the 3, it should have its shot at a decent edge rushing prospect here. The D must start hitting the quarterback.
36. NY Giants
Mock Draft Pick: S Grant Delpit, LSU
Assuming the Giants address their offensive line problems with the fourth overall pick – or somewhere in the first round if they trade down – they can go after a guy who fits what the franchise is about. Here’s your new leader of the D.
– BetMGM Grant Delpit Draft Position

– BetMGM Which Round for Grant Delpit
1 +130, 2-7 -159
37. LA Chargers
Mock Draft Pick: RB D’Andre Swift, Georgia
Can Swift really last this long? Assuming the Chargers grab a top quarterback prospect with their first pick – either Tua Tagovailoa or Justin Herbert – expect them to keep going for the flash to upgrade the offense with a ton of young talent. Austin Ekeler is fine, but he’s not Swift or Jonathan Taylor.
– BetMGM D’Andre Swift Draft Position
Over 26.5 -189, Under 26.5 +155

1 -130, 2-7 +110
38. Carolina
Mock Draft Pick: DT Neville Gallimore, Oklahoma
The Panthers should be able to upgrade the defense in a big way with its first two picks. If they’re lucky enough to get Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons at the 7 – and they don’t get Auburn DT Derrick Brown – they can grab a fantastic tackle here.
39. Miami
Mock Draft Pick: S Jeremy Chinn, Southern Illinois
Assuming Miami will go offense, offense, offense with its first three picks – and assuming it keeps them all – now is the chance to shoot for the stars. Chinn might need work, but the tools are off the charts.
40. Houston (from Arizona)
Mock Draft Pick: DE Josh Uche, Michigan
Finally, Houston gets to have some fun. After giving away its first round pick to Miami, it should be okay in the second round with a good-looking pass rusher at a solid value. At the 40, Uche would be a nice call.
– BetMGM Position of Houston 1st Drafted Player
Offense +115, Defense -139
41. Cleveland
Mock Draft Pick: WR Tee Higgins, Clemson
Can Higgins really slide this fall? The Browns should grab one of the strong offensive tackles in the first round at the 10, and then it can address their flaky receiver situation and get younger in a hurry.
– BetMGM Tee Higgins Draft Position
Over 31.5 -150, Under 31.5 +125
– BetMGM Which Round for Tee Higgins
1 +110, 2-7 -130
42. Jacksonville
Mock Draft Pick: CB Jeff Gladney, TCU
The Jaguars should come out of the first 42 picks loaded. If all goes according to perfection for them, they should be able to get their rock of a DT in Derrick Brown at the 9, and then upgrade at QB with Jordan Love at the 20, they should be able to address their most glaring need a corner with Gladney – or one other other decent prospects –
– BetMGM Which Round for Jeff Gladney
1 +165, 2-7 -205
43. Chicago (from Las Vegas)
Mock Draft Pick: CB Kristian Fulton, LSU
The Bears finally get a chance to pick. It needs a whole lot of secondary help, and they should benefit from a few corners who’ll slide on down. Will Fulton really last this long? If not, then TCU’s Jeff Gladney or Auburn’s Noah Igbinoghene should be here.
– BetMGM Kristian Fulton Draft Position
Over 24.5 -132, Under 24.5 +110
– BetMGM Position of Chicago 1st Drafted Player
Offense -120, Defense +100
44. Indianapolis
Mock Draft Pick: WR Denzel Mims, Baylor
Can Indianapolis really wait this long to help out its receiving corps? There’s a shot that Mims goes in the first round, and if he does, there will still be a few terrific receiver prospects still on the board here.

45. Tampa Bay
Mock Draft Pick: RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire, LSU
The Buccaneers should have no problems upgrading its offensive tackle situation with the 14th overall pick. What else does Tom Brady need to help his cause? He’s got the targets to go to, but a pinball RB like Edwards-Helaire would be an instant upgrade to the backfield.
46. Denver
Mock Draft Pick: WR Jalen Reagor
Denver should be able to take a chance that it can take a good corner with the 15th pick and then upgrade its receiving corps here. If it’s not Reagor, then nearby Colorado star Laviska Shenault will be around.
– BetMGM Which Round for Jalen Reagor
1 +150, 2-7 -179
47. Atlanta
Mock Draft Pick: DE Curtis Weaver, Boise State
The Falcons need a pass rusher. They might go after one with the 16th pick, but other value picks will be there. They should be able to wait and get a find in Weaver here.
48. NY Jets
Mock Draft Pick: OT Austin Jackson, USC
The Jets will give Sam Darnold a top target with their first pick at the 11, and then they should be able to upgrade the offensive line with one of the good tackles still on the board in the late 40s.
49. Pittsburgh
Mock Draft Pick: OT Robert Hunt, Louisiana
Finally, the Steelers get to make their first pick, and they should luck out with a few offensive tackles – a need area – falling down around here. Either the athletic Hunt or a fantastic upside blocker in USC’s Austin Jackson should be here.
– BetMGM Position of Pittsburgh 1st Drafted Player
Offense -125, Defense +105
50. Chicago
Mock Draft Pick: TE Cole Kmet, Notre Dame
In a weak draft for tight ends, Kmet is a standout with all of the tools and abilities to grow into the job. Chicago has addressed the glaring problem and past misfires a bit this offseason, but Jimmy Graham is a bad answer to the question.
51. Dallas
Mock Draft Pick: CB Noah Igbinoghene, Auburn
Dallas needs more young pass rushers and more athleticism at corner. Problem One should be addressed at the 17, and now comes the corner who can fly. Igbinoghene is a bit of a project, but he has a world of upside.
52. LA Rams
Mock Draft Pick: RB JK Dobbins, Ohio State
Just how much do you believe in Malcolm Brown and Darrell Henderson? The Rams need reinforcements in their defensive front seven, but finding a new do-it-all running back they can rely on is just as vital. Dobbins will hang around way too long.

53. Philadelphia
Mock Draft Pick: OT Lucas Niang, TCU
The Eagles have to address their receiver needs with their first round pick at the 21, but they need offensive line help, too. This is such a deep class at offensive tackle that they can wait until here to get a talented option.
54. Buffalo
Mock Draft Pick: CB Trevon Diggs, Alabama
Buffalo might want another running back option and it can really use a big-time pass rusher, but cornerback is a concern as well. Diggs is a fantastic talent who’ll slide, and if he doesn’t there should be another good option to grab.
– BetMGM Position of Buffalo 1st Drafted Player
Offense +105, Defense -125
55. Baltimore (from New England, from Atlanta)
Mock Draft Pick: WR Laviska Shenault, Colorado
The Ravens went and got Marquise Brown in the first round in the first round of last year’s draft, but they need more high-end targets for their MVP superstar to throw to. Shenault might not fit a No. 1 role, but he wouldn’t need to in this offense.
– BetMGM Which Round for Laviska Shenault
1 +250, 2-7 -323
56. Miami (from New Orleans)
Mock Draft Pick: DT Jordan Elliott, Missouri
As long as Miami gets to take care of its offensive needs early on, and if it goes defense in some way in its first four picks, it’ll have the luxury of going Best Player Available here. They don’t desperately need a defensive tackle, but Elliott is the type of anchor who’ll be a quick upgrade.
57. LA Rams (from Houston)
Mock Draft Pick: DE Jonathan Greenard, Florida
The Rams might not have a first rounder, but they’re in a nice spot. At the 52 they’ll have the ability to take the best player on the board – or go with a RB like Ohio State’s JK Dobbins – and then they can deal with their pass rushing concerns here. Greenard has to stay healthy, but he’d be a fantastic value grab here.
58. Minnesota
Mock Draft Pick: S Antoine Winfield, Minnesota
Secondary, secondary, secondary. The Vikings have to improve their defensive backfield, and that will start with a corner in the first round. Assuming they grab a receiver with their second first round pick, they can get another good defensive back. Winfield might not be the prototype safety, but he’s a big play magnet.
59. Seattle
Mock Draft Pick: DE Julian Okwara, Notre Dame
Just how much does Seattle want to upgrade its defensive front seven? It should go with a linebacker or hybrid pass rusher with the 27th overall pick, and then it can try to make up for the loss of Jadeveon Clowney with an end like Okwara here.
60. Baltimore
Mock Draft Pick: CB Bryce Hall, Virginia
With three of the top 60 picks, this could be a fabulous draft for a team that doesn’t have a whole lot of glaring problems. Hall is too good of an all-around corner to slide any further. He’s the type of aggressive baller who’ll be an instant fit as soon as he’s healthy enough to go.

61. Tennessee
Mock Draft Pick: DT Raekwon Davis, Alabama
The Titans are going to want to go heavy on the defensive front. They’ll likely go with a pass rusher at the 29, and then beef up the interior with a good-value get like Davis.
62. Green Bay
Mock Draft Pick: S Ashtyn Davis, Cal
– BetMGM Ashtyn Davis Draft Position Over 76.5 +150, Under 76.5 -182
At some point, the Packers will need more help for their receiving corps and more of an offensive upgrade. That will come, but the already good defense should get a killer at safety if Davis lasts this long.
63. Kansas City (from San Francisco)
Mock Draft Pick: CB Cameron Dantzler, Mississippi State
Kansas City needs corner help, and Dantzler is the right all-around athlete with playmaking skills who’ll step in right away and produce in some way.
64. Seattle (from Kansas City)
Mock Draft Pick: RB AJ Dillon, Boston College
Adding another option to a banged up and unreliable group of running backs would be a huge help. While Dillon isn’t exactly Marshawn Lynch, he’s a big banger with speed. Put him in a rotation and let him take the pressure off of Russell Wilson.
