2020 NFL mock draft: Surprise scenarios for every top-10 pick

What if a handful of blockbuster trades completely turned the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft upside-down?

Just like the Bengals, Washington would certainly have some angry fans if they pass on the chance to take the best overall player in this draft at No. 2 overall, no matter what they get in return.

That said, this scenario turns out strong for a team that needs way more than just a pass rusher. Their biggest need on defense is at corner, where they desperately need a true shutdown artist like Okudah, who is far and away the best corner in the class.

Ron Rivera knows he can’t rebuild this roster in one offseason, which is why adding an additional first-round pick in next year’s draft is a huge part of this deal being a win for him and Washington. Okudah gives them an immediate upgrade at a premium position of need, and they’re better equipped to keep building for the future with additional draft resources.
