The first round of the 2020 NFL Draft is just nine days away, and NFL Draft expert Mel Kiper Jr.’s latest mock draft features a ton of movement in the back half of round 1. Kiper’s top four picks are unchanged from his mock 3.0 that was released in March, but he has former Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert as the first passer off the board after No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow, with Tua Tagovailoa dropping to No. 6.
A total of five players – S Xavier McKinney, WR Brandon Aiyuk, OLB Zack Baun, CB AJ Terrell and CB Jaylon Johnson – have jumped into Kiper’s first round, while Denzel Mims, A.J. Epenesa, Josh Jones, Ezra Cleveland and Chase Claypool have fallen out of the first round.
