2020 NFL mock draft: Final 1st-round projections with trades

Luke Easterling makes his final projections for the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, with a handful of big trades and surprise picks

17. Dallas Cowboys

K’Lavon Chaisson | EDGE | LSU

I think the Cowboys would love to move back here, but if they don’t get the right deal, Chaisson would be anything but a consolation prize. Dallas filled their needs along the interior with solid veterans in free agency, but they still need a bookend on the edge to pair with DeMarcus Lawrence.

Chaisson is still just scratching the surface of his potential, developing his pass rush arsenal and learning to maximize his promising physical tools. His combination of length, athleticism and versatility give him limitless upside.

This defense needs help in the secondary, as well, but it’s too early for any of this year’s top safety prospects, and the only corners worth top-20 picks are already off the board. This makes the most sense for Dallas if they have to stick and pick.
