CFN in 60: 2020 Top Five Overall Prospects
[jwplayer 4pb0NsqJ-boEY74VG]
As it stands right now, the first draft order for the first three picks goes 1. Cincinnati, 2. Washington, 3. Detroit.
Keep in mind that Washington doesn’t need a quarterback and might trade, Detroit might give some thought to taking a quarterback if it doesn’t like Matthew Stafford anymore, but it might trade out of the pick to someone who desperately needs a QB.
So with all of that in mind, the 20 possible BetMGM scenarios you can get in on. Starting with the combination of the most improbable/worst value …
20. 1. Burrow, 2. Tagovailoa, 3. Derrick Brown
Auburn DT Derrick Brown is rising up in the various mocks, but the idea that Chase Young AND Jeff Okudah won’t go in the top three just doesn’t work.
19. 1. Burrow, 2. Young, 3. Brown
Call this the anti-Brown call. Nothing against him, and you can get the first two parts of this right, but he’s not going in the top three.
18. 1. Tagovailoa, 2. Young, 3. Herbert
There’s no Burrow? If Burrow doesn’t go at the 1, someone will trade up for him. At worst, he goes at the 3.
17. 1. Tagovailoa, 2. Young, 3. Okudah
If you think Burrow is going to slide and Cincinnati is going with Tagovailoa, then this is a jackpot pick. Don’t bank on Burrow not going in the top three, though.
16. 1. Burrow, 2. Tagovailoa, 3. Simmons
You’re not only asking for Young to not go in the top three, but for Isaiah Simmons to find his way in over Jeff Okudah. It’s not totally crazy, but this only works if something big and bad comes out about Young.
15. 1. Burrow, 2. Tagovailoa, 3. Okudah
Do you really believe Young will fall out of the top three? You can talk yourself into this if you think someone might trade up to the 2 for Tagovailoa.
14. 1. Tagovailoa, 2. Burrow, 3. Okudah
Again, no Chase Young. Throw in the call that Tagovailoa goes first, and now you’re trying to project a whole slew of trades.
13. 1. Herbert, 2. Burrow, 3. Young
There are a whole lot of things that have to go your way to make this work, and it starts with Cincinnati liking Herbert over Burrow. It also means a big trade by Washington at the 2.
12. 1. Tagovailoa, 2. Young, 3. Burrow
This isn’t all that bad. If you have it in your head that Cincinnati might really like Tagovailoa, then assuming Young at the 2 is easy, and Burrow will get snapped up at the 3 after the Lions trade out.
11. 1. Burrow, 2. Young, 3. Simmons
This isn’t totally off-the-wall. Opinions are all over the board on Simmons in the top ten, and he could easily end up going third. However, the +1400 value isn’t quite as strong as some of the other big calls you could make.

10. 1. Burrow, 2. Young, 3. Love
It would be nice if the value was a little stronger here. No one has a clue at the moment how the teams are viewing Jordan Love and the top quarterbacks, but for this to work, someone has to trade up to the 3 AND take Love. Parts 1 and 2 are fine, but 3?
9. 1. Tagovailoa, 2. Burrow, 3. Young
I just don’t see Cincinnati going Tagovailoa over Burrow. For this to work, Washington has to trade out of the 2 to someone who won’t take Young.
8. 1. Herbert, 2. Young, 3. Burrow
For the value, this is fantastic. Everyone will have Herbert as the best tools quarterback of the bunch, and it’s not insane to think Cincinnati will want to go with the guy with the NFL arm over the guy who has a questionable gun.
7. 1. Burrow, 2. Tagovailoa, 3. Love
LOVE this for the value. Don’t be the slightest bit shocked if the teams looking for quarterbacks all freak out and try to move into the top three. At +15000 … okay.
6. 1. Tagovailoa, 2. Burrow, 3. Herbert
On the same theory that teams are going to go insane trying to move up to grab quarterbacks, here’s your big call for +30000. We don’t quite know exactly what teams think of Tagovailoa’s hip injury.
5. 1. Burrow, 2. Young, 3. Herbert
It would be nice if this was a wee bit stronger than +400, but this is still a totally viable option. Someone will love Herbert, and it’s possible someone will move up to get him.
4. 1. Burrow, 2. Young, 3. Okudah
There’s nothing boring about winning. It’s the chalk top three call, and it’s the most likely scenario. Take it, make your coin, and get out.
3. 1. Burrow, 2. Tagovailoa, 3. Herbert
If you believe in the quarterback chaos theory – and I sort of do – that teams will panic to get into position to take the top three, here you go for +3000.
2. 1. Burrow, 2, Young, 3. Tagovailoa
The value isn’t that great, but assume someone wants Tagovailoa and will pay the premium to trade up with Detroit to do it, but this is just at +250, so …
1. 1. Burrow, 2. Tagovailoa, 3. Young
Go for the +1000 call. Cincinnati is going to take Joe Burrow No. 1, and Washington will shop the heck out of its No. 2 pick. As long as the Miami or LA Charger medical staff like what they see out of Tua Tagovailoa’s workout and health, it’s the power move that has to be made. If you want the former Bama star, it might take the No. 2 overall pick to do it.
