With the draft kicking off on Thursday night, we take a look at which prospects could end up being selected in our full seven-round NFL mock draft.

The 2020 NFL Draft is kicking things off on Thursday night with a remote virtual selection process and the Bengals have the first pick. We have a good idea of who they’ll pick, but what about the rest of the seven rounds?

Let’s get things started right away with the first round and Joe Burrow to the Bengals at No. 1 overall.

LSU Tigers. 56. Scouting Report. Quarterback. Joe Burrow. 1. player. Pick Analysis

The Bengals get their franchise quarterback of the future in reigning Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Joe Burrow at No. 1 overall.

Defensive End. Chase Young. 2. Pick Analysis. Ohio State Buckeyes. player. 58. Scouting Report

Washington is looking to stock up key defensive linemen like San Francisco with the best defensive player of this draft in Chase Young.

50. Cornerback. Ohio State Buckeyes. 3. player. . Pick Analysis. Jeffrey Okudah

This pick is where the draft can get interesting. Without trades, the Lions can fulfill the biggest need on their team as they were last in the league in pass defense (284.4 yards per game).

4. Pick Analysis. Isaiah Simmons. player. 31. . Linebacker/Safety. Clemson Tigers

Getting a tackle to block for Daniel Jones is essential but so is getting the versatile player like Isaiah Simmons on the defensive side of the ball.

Oregon Ducks. 59. . Pick Analysis. Quarterback. Justin Herbert. 5. player

After much evaluation, there are more reasons to believe that the Dolphins will skip out on Tua Tagovailoa’s durability issues and go safe at quarterback with Justin Herbert.

Tua Tagovailoa. . Pick Analysis. Quarterback. Alabama Crimson Tide. 6. player. 13

The Chargers believe in Tyrod Taylor but they believe they can make a long-term franchise quarterback out of Tua.

Pick Analysis. Derrick Brown. 87. . Defensive Tackle. Auburn Tigers. 7. player

This pick seems locked in with the Panthers having the 29th-best rush defense (143.5 yards per game) in the league. Derrick Brown could fix that.

Iowa Hawkeyes. 8. player. 32. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Offensive Tackle. Tristian Wirfs

Arizona is loading up fast on offense and will need some solid protection for quarterback Kyler Murray after they gave up 50 sacks last season.

Jerry Jeudy. 9. Alabama Crimson Tide. player. 52. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Wide Receiver

Jacksonville will look to make a big move for their franchise and their newfound faith in quarterback Gardner Minshew II with an immediate impact wide receiver.

player. 53. Scouting Report. Jedrick Wills Jr.. Alabama Crimson Tide. 10. Pick Analysis. Offensive Tackle

The Browns need blocking support in the run game and passing game. They will get that with Wills at their main tackle spot.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Offensive Tackle. Mekhi Becton. 11. Louisville Cardinals. player. 30

The Jets need a No. 1 receiver but they cannot allow their quarterbacks to be sacked 52 times again this upcoming season.

Pick Analysis. CeeDee Lamb. 12. player. 28. Scouting Report. Wide Receiver. Oklahoma Sooners

The Raiders will need a No. 1 receiver like CeeDee Lamb to compete with Kansas City’s high-power offense and the rising capabilities of the Broncos and the Chargers.

Alabama Crimson Tide. 13. player. 42. Scouting Report. Wide Receiver. Henry Ruggs III. Pick Analysis

San Francisco can look for a replacement for the traded DeForest Buckner but adding an elite weapon on the offense will put them back as NFC favorites.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Georgia Bulldogs. Andrew Thomas. player. Offensive Tackle. 14. 48

Adding a reliable tackle like Andrew Thomas is a no-brainer after allowing 47 sacks last season and acquiring a 42-year quarterback in Tom Brady.

Wide Receiver. Justin Jefferson. 45. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. LSU Tigers. 15. player

The Denver Broncos are desperate for a No. 1 wide receiver and might be looking to trade up. Justin Jefferson will still be available at No. 15, however.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Defensive Tackle. South Carolina Gamecocks. Javon Kinlaw. 44. 16. player

The Falcons are needing to upgrade the front-seven of their defense. Getting Javon Kinlaw will help the Falcons in attacking the run and passing game.

Florida Gators. 17. player. 123. Pick Analysis. Cornerback. Scouting Report. C.J. Henderson

The Cowboys are nearly depleted at the defensive backs and will need some serious talent. CJ Henderson has been one of the recent risers in the draft boards.

Houston Cougars. 18. 59. Scouting Report. Offensive Tackle. Josh Jones. player. Pick Analysis

Miami’s offensive line gave up 58 sacks last season, which is tied for most in the league in sacks allowed. That needs to change with the addition of Josh Jones.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. 19. Safety. Alabama Crimson Tide. Xavier McKinney. player. 28

The Raiders are looking to add as much versatility and overall talent to their team as possible. Last season, they ranked 25th in passing yards allowed per game (256.7).

Scouting Report. LSU Tigers. Kristian Fulton. Pick Analysis. Cornerback. 20. player. 52

Jacksonville’s defense has not been the same since they traded away Jalen Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams so Kristian Fulton makes sense at 20.

player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Outside Linebacker. K'Lavon Chaisson. 21. LSU Tigers. 54

The Eagles need serious help at the wide receiver position but they need depth and talent at outside linebacker.

Cornerback. A.J. Terrell. 22. Clemson Tigers. player. 60. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

A few seasons ago, the Vikings had one of the top defensive units in the league. Their impact dropped significantly and is looking for more consistent coverage players.

23. player. 47. Scouting Report. Utah State Aggies. Quarterback. Jordan Love. Pick Analysis

After allowing Tom Brady to leave via free agency, the Patriots will have to act quickly for their franchise quarterback in Jordan Love.

Pick Analysis. player. 15. Scouting Report. Linebacker. Oklahoma Sooners. Kenneth Murray. 24

The Saints have seen a significant increase in production on the defensive side of the ball. All they need now is a field general on defense.

Scouting Report. Yetur Gross-Matos. player. Pick Analysis. Defensive end/Outside linebacker. Penn State Nittany Lions. 25. 60

Minnesota also took a heavy loss on the defensive side of the ball in free agency with pass rushers. Yetur Gross-Matos will be able to get to the quarterback at the line of scrimmage or as a linebacker.

Scouting Report. Running Back. player. 59. Pick Analysis. Georgia Bulldogs. D'Andre Swift. 26

The Dolphins lacked a significant rushing attack last season as they were last in rushing yards per game (72.2). D’Andre Swift can also be a dynamic playmaker as an extra receiver in the backfield.

Scouting Report. Defensive End/Outside Linebacker. Iowa Hawkeyes. 27. Pick Analysis. A.J. Epenesa. player. 36

The Jadeveon Clowney experiment was a temporary success for the Seahawks’ defense but will now require a devoted full-time pass rusher.

Linebacker. Patrick Queen. 28. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. LSU Tigers. 26

The Ravens’ defensive efficiency has not been the same since they allowed middle linebacker C.J. Mosely to walk via free agency and it showed in the AFC Playoffs.

TCU Horned Frogs. Ross Blacklock. player. 35. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Defensive Tackle. 29

The Titans were close to grabbing a Super Bowl appearance. Now they will look to make themselves consistent on the defensive line.

Pick Analysis. Wide Receiver. Arizona State Sun Devils. Brandon Aiyuk. 30. Scouting Report. player. 49

Green Bay needs help in their passing offense and Davante Adams cannot handle the entire workload. A dynamic YAC-master like Brandon Aiyuk would be a welcomed addition.

Pick Analysis. Cornerback. 42. Scouting Report. Trevon Diggs. 31. player. Alabama Crimson Tide

Cornerback Richard Sherman is playing at a high-level but does not have a lot of time left in the league after turning 32 years old in March.

Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. TCU Horned Frogs. Jeff Gladney. Cornerback. 32. player. 124

The Chiefs look to address their weakness of their entire with most of their impact corners gone.
