The first-round of the 2020 NFL Draft will be getting underway very soon so it’s time for me to release my annual stab as to how I think Thursday night and the first 32 selections will ultimately go.
I don’t bother predicting trades in these mocks and there’s bound to be a few of them. More than anything else, my goal is to correctly identify as many first-round selections as I can regardless of the order in addition to matching up as many selections as possible to the teams that do not trade out of their spot.
Here is my mock of the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
Feel free to add your mock of the first-round in the comments below and once again, Merry Draftmas to all of yinz. It should be a fun next few days.
