Every athlete has officially decided whether or not they will leave college, which means it’s time for a 2020 NFL Mock Draft.

The college football season ended last week with a great triumph for the LSU Tigers. On that team, Joe Burrow led a high-powered offense, while Grant Delpit and Kristian Fulton held it down on the defensive side. All three of these players will be eligible to be drafted this spring. Where will they go in this 2020 NFL mock draft?

LSU had a mass exodus after their title, something other teams are used to on a yearly basis. After losing two top assistant coaches, three of your four best players at skill positions, stars at every position on defense, and your Heisman-winning quarterback, it’s going to be hard to reload next year. But we don’t have to worry about that right now. We just have to focus on which players will be drafted in the first round.

What makes this mock draft special is that the date to officially declare for the NFL Draft is finally behind us. That means that everyone in this mock will be fighting to play on NFL rosters next year. There’s no more concern about writing about a player who will inevitably go back to college football. While some top names are returning and removing depth from this class, there are still all sorts of stars to choose from.

This mock will change over time. Once more info leaks about players and we see the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine, we will have much more information to make an informed decision. I’m currently going off of partially what I think will happen and what I think should happen. As the process continues, these drafts will consist of only what I think will happen. With that being said, let’s go ahead and start with the first overall pick. I’m sure you’re all dying to know what the Bengals will be doing.
