The 2020 NFL Draft is loaded with talent at just about every position. Who got the best deal in round one and the first 32 picks?

The top of the 2020 NFL draft was basically locked in from the jump with Joe Burrow and Chase Young being the consensus No. 1 and No. 2 picks in the draft, respectively. There were so many rumors of teams moving up, teams reaching for players they may have been waiting for, but overall the first round was a lot of chalk with teams picking exactly who they thought they would.

The Dolphins were able to get Tua Tagovailoa at their draft slot at No. 5 without having to trade up or wrapping anything to get their guy. The long-awaited Alabama quarterback was rumored to slide in the draft after his big injury this year breaking his hip but still went in the top five. This raises questions about the future of Josh Rosen and what the Dolphins want to do with their now two talented quarterbacks.

The Cardinals have had quite the offseason picking up DeAndre Hopkins, now with a top 10 pick they were able to pick up another game-changer. Isaiah Simmons fell to them at the eighth pick and Cardinals fans couldn’t be happier. He played five positions including linebacker and safety and could possibly be the best defensive player in the draft.

With a rash of wide receivers taken in the 10-25 range in the first round, tons of speed and talent lined the offensive side of the ball. Who got the best value out of their pick? Some of these picks may not be flashy, but all the while necessary.

Here are the top three value picks of the first round.
