Quarterbacks will be the biggest story for the 2020 NFL Draft — what else is new? — but it will be fascinating to see how NFL teams rank this class of receivers and offensive tackles. There are so many talented players at those two positions, with the first round likely to feature a jam-packed group of offensive players. That side of the ball is loaded this year. And it’s very hard to predict which teams will value which players when there are so many good ones. There will be defensive players sprinkled throughout the first round, but the lack of talent on the edge is clear in this class. But, of course, it does come back to quarterbacks. It feels almost inevitable that four quarterbacks will be selected on opening night. But will a fifth? In this mock draft, we had a surprise team trading into the back end for a first-round QB.
