The NFL Playoffs kicked off with a memorable Wild Card weekend, with all four games being decided by one score, including a pair of overtime thrillers.
While the postseason field has been whittled down to just eight teams on either side of the tournament, four more teams have been banished to an early offseason, joining the ranks of those preparing for a playoff run next season.
As the playoff push and offseason preparations continue, here’s an updated look at how the first three rounds of the 2020 NFL draft could shake out, using the latest updated order:
1. Cincinnati Bengals
Joe Burrow | QB | LSU
The Andy Dalton era needs to end, and the Bengals are in the perfect spot to take his successor. Burrow has not only been dominant all year long against top competition, he’s taken his game to another level on the game’s biggest stages at the SEC title game and the College Football Playoff.
2. Washington Redskins
Chase Young | EDGE | Ohio State
Much like last year with the San Francisco 49ers and Nick Bosa, Washington lands the best overall prospect in this class at the No. 2 pick. Young is a rare pass rusher with an incredible combination of size, athleticism and explosiveness, making him a steal even this early.
3. Detroit Lions
Jeff Okudah | CB | Ohio State
This is the prime spot for a team to trade up for a quarterback, and I think they’d find a willing partner in the Lions, who have tons of needs to fill. If they stay here, Detroit has their pick of either a dominant interior force (Auburn’s Derrick Brown), or a blue-chip cover man in Okudah. They opt for the more premium position here.
4. New York Giants
Jedrick Wills | OT | Alabama
If Daniel Jones is going to reach his full potential, he’ll need a true franchise left tackle to keep him protected. The more I watch Wills, the more he separates himself from the crowd at the top of this year’s deep offensive tackle class. Don’t be shocked if he’s the first one off the board, and a top-five pick.
5. Miami Dolphins
Tua Tagovailoa | QB | Alabama
After a season-ending hip injury, Tagovailoa is obviously the biggest wild-card in this year’s draft. If he makes a full recovery, Tua still has a fantastic skill set and all the tools to be a franchise quarterback. It’s a big if, but if he’s healthy, he’s still worthy of top-five consideration for a QB-needy team like Miami.
