Three-round NFL mock draft: How many QBs will go in Round 1?

The NFL Draft is just three days away, and the anticipation in the sports world has never been greater. Here's a look at our latest three-round NFL mock draft as of April 20.

Burrow was considered the likely No. 1 pick after the college football season, and nothing has changed. He won both the Heisman Trophy and national championship in 2019 and is the overwhelming favorite to be Cincinnati's choice. The Ohio native displayed drastic improvement in his senior season at LSU, completing nearly 76 percent of his passes and also showing above-average scrambling ability. The only major knock on Burrow is that he's old for a first-round prospect, set to turn 24 in December. Andy Dalton remains under contract, but the Bengals can cut or trade him without facing any cap penalty.

Young sat out combine tests, likely because the results could only hurt what is sky-high stock right now. Incredibly, Young recorded 16.5 sacks through his first 12 games this past season and has a chance to make a huge impact on a Washington defensive line that already has a lot of talent. 

Darius Slay was traded, and while the Lions added Desmond Trufant, cornerback remains a major need. Okudah is the consensus top player at that position in the 2020 class. He is a shutdown corner with three picks in 13 games this season. There's also the possibility that Detroit could trade down, as reported by ESPN.

Nate Solder has been a bust for the Giants since they gave him big money two years ago, and the team could go to the well again at left tackle in a strong draft for the position. Wirfs can step in immediately, coming out of Kirk Ferentz's offensive line factory at Iowa. He also led all offensive linemen with a 4.85 second 40 time at the combine.

Miami could trade up as high as No. 2 to take its quarterback of choice with a great arsenal of picks. While Tua Tagovailoa had a positive medical checkup recently, he remains a risk due to a long list of past injuries. Herbert is a great option, with optimal NFL size, and he completed nearly 67 percent of his passes this season. He also performed well at the combine, showing his athleticism with a solid 4.68 second 40-yard dash.

Tagovailoa was the consensus No. 1 overall draft choice entering the year, but ankle and hip injuries have given him the "injury-prone" label. The good news is that all of his medical reports regarding his recovery have been positive to this point, including a checkup last week. Before his season-ending injury, Tagovailoa completed more than 71 percent of his passes with 33 touchdowns in nine games, albeit with elite receiving weapons in Alabama. With Tyrod Taylor still on the team, the Chargers could buy some time before installing Tagovailoa.

With the surprising retirement of Luke Kuechly, the Panthers have a major need at linebacker. Simmons had a legendary combine performance, including a 4.39 second 40-yard dash and 132-inch broad jump. He's an extremely versatile defender who has potential at either linebacker or safety. The 6-foot-4 senior had 104 tackles and eight sacks in 15 games. 

Arizona struggled to get to the quarterback last season, and the addition of defensive tackle Jordan Phillips probably isn't enough. Brown has moved into top 10 draft consideration following an impressive year, recording 55 tackles and four sacks during the regular season.

The Jags are starved at cornerback after losing both Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye within the last year. Henderson wasn't challenged much in the Florida secondary last year, but he had 33 tackles and 11 passes defensed in nine games.

Left tackle remains a giant hole that the Browns need to fill, likely with this pick. Wills can step in immediately, has plenty of size (6-foot-5, 320 pounds) and tested well at the combine.

The Jets are in a good spot at No. 11, with needs at tackle and wide receiver. Becton needs some refinement, but he's a mammoth, listing at 6-foot-7, 364 pounds, with left tackle capability, and he ran a remarkable 5.10 second 40-yard dash at the combine.

The Raiders are in desperate need of weapons to help Derek Carr and Co., and the additions of Jason Witten and Nelson Agholor aren't enough. Lamb has been nothing but productive in college and just finished his best season, with 62 receptions for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns in 13 games. 

San Francisco found a potential star in Deebo Samuel in last year's draft, but Kyle Shanahan is missing the breakaway speed element that he had with Marquise Goodwin. Ruggs hasn't been as productive as teammate Jerry Jeudy, but he still has superstar potential. He's the fastest wideout available as he showed at the combine, running a 4.27 second 40-yard dash. He had 746 yards and seven scores in 12 games last season.

Now that the Bucs signed Tom Brady, they could use some help protecting him. Thomas is one of the best offensive linemen on the board. Standing at 6-foot-5, 320 pounds, he can be an immediate solution on the right side of the line.

The Broncos are in search of a No. 2 wideout and could make a dream pairing with Courtland Sutton. Jeudy had 1,163 yards and 10 touchdowns this past season and ranks right alongside Julio Jones and Amari Cooper as among the most talented wideouts to come out of Alabama in recent memory. His 4.45 40-yard dash at the combine was a strong time.

Atlanta struggled to get to the quarterback last year. While the Falcons replaced Vic Beasley with Dante Fowler this offseason, there's still more work to be done. Chaisson can fill part of the the void after recording 60 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 2019.

Jerry Jones has never met a pass rusher he didn't like, and Kinlaw could be a huge disrupter on the interior. Kinlaw had 35 tackles and six sacks through 12 games this past season.

The Dolphins have yet to fill the void at tackle after trading Laremy Tunsil last preseason. Jackson is an interesting project who could step in immediately.

After whiffing on former first rounder Gareon Conley, the Raiders are back in the cornerback market. Terrell has been a regular starter at Clemson with a total of five interceptions over the last two seasons.

The Jaguars need to revamp their defensive line after trading Calais Campbell, with potentially Yannick Ngakoue to follow. Gross-Matos has excellent size and speed and has been productive for the Nittany Lions over the last two seasons, recording eight sacks in 2018 and nine sacks through 11 games this past year.

No team in the NFL has a bigger need at wideout than Philadelphia, which moved on from Nelson Agholor and could also trade Alshon Jeffery. Jefferson is a polished route runner and ran a blazing 4.43 second 40 time at the combine. He's a strong prospect in a great wide receiver class, finishing last season with 111 catches for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns.

The Vikings are likely to take a wideout early after trading Stefon Diggs to Buffalo. Mims is an excellent red-zone threat with 28 touchdowns over the last three seasons and is a great physical specimen, standing at 6-foot-3 and running a sub-4.4 second 40-yard dash. 

The Pats have yet to truly tip their hand on their intentions at quarterback. There's no more polarizing prospect in this year's draft than Love, who has first-round talent but is coming off a subpar season at Utah State. He might take a year or two to develop, but it wouldn't be a shock to see Bill Belichick buy the upside.

New Orleans has had some turnover at linebacker this offseason and is counting on Kiko Alonso to return from another torn ACL, so linebacker could be a priority. Queen's stock skyrocketed after a great 2019 season, with 85 tackles in 15 games for the Tigers.

The Vikings are building a new secondary after their struggles last year and are in search of a starter opposite Mike Hughes. Fulton has been a lockdown cornerback at LSU and certainly has the upside to return great value immediately.

Miami signed Jordan Howard this offseason, but he's unlikely to be the Dolphins' long-term answer at running back. Taylor is a perfect candidate to be the top back, running for 2,000 yards in each of the last two seasons and tearing up the combine with a 4.39 second 40-yards dash.

Seattle as a void to fill at right tackle after losing Germain Ifedi. Jones has emerged as a strong early-round prospect who could fill in immediately.

Baltimore was able to manage without C.J. Mosley last year, but middle linebacker remains an area of need. Murray is a tackling machine and possible replacement, with 155 tackles in 2018 and 102 tackles in 14 games in 2019.

The Titans didn't bring back Logan Ryan, making cornerback an immediate need. The brother of Vikings wideout Stefon Diggs, Trevon remains a solid first-round prospect who could step in immediately at corner.

The Packers need to strengthen their defensive line around Kenny Clark. Blacklock has shown nice upside despite a lack of big pass rush production in college, and he could play immediately.

Cornerback was one of the few areas in which San Francisco had slip-ups last year, and Richard Sherman is on the back nine of his career. An experienced player at TCU, Gladney saw regular playing time in all four seasons and is a strong press corner prospect.

The Chiefs were able to re-sign starting corner Bashaud Breeland, but they still need much more depth. Johnson was a consistent contributor for Utah over the last two seasons and also recorded six interceptions over that time.

Cincinnati might choose a replacement for right tackle Bobby Hart and may find one at the start of the second round. Cleveland is a solid prospect and could fill in as a starter or depth option this year.

The Colts remain in the market for a true No. 2 wideout behind T.Y. Hilton. Aiyuk had 65 receptions for 1,192 yards and eight scores in his second season for the Sun Devils since transferring from junior college.

Detroit continues to remake its defense and could use competition at safety. McKinney had 95 tackles and three picks this season as a true playmaker for the Crimson Tide.

The pass rush has been a focus for the Giants over the last year with the additions of Dexter Lawrence and Leonard Williams, but the team could use another edge rusher after losing Markus Golden. Epenesa was highly productive again last year, his junior season, with 49 tackles and 11.5 sacks through 13 games, although his combine performance was less than stellar.

Starting center Mike Pouncey's future could be up in the air following a neck injury. Cushenberry is a potential plug-and-play starter and arguably the top center on the board this year.

With the loss of James Bradberry in free agency, Carolina has a huge need at cornerback. Arnette saw significant snaps for four seasons at Ohio State and could help immediately.

Safety is among Miami's priorities with a strong class in this year's draft. Delpit is among the elite safeties on the board, with 65 tackles and two picks in 14 games this past season.

Davidson got consistent playing time in four seasons at Auburn, capping off his career with 48 tackles and 6.5 sacks in 2019. Houston got little pass rush last year when J.J. Watt was injured and still needs to fill the void left after trading Jadeveon Clowney.

The Browns had issues at safety last year, and the additions of Karl Joseph and Andrew Sendejo don't adequately address the problem. The son of the former NFL cornerback, Winfield Jr. took a huge step forward last season with 83 tackles and seven picks.

With the losses of Calais Campbell and Yannick Ngakoue, one addition to the pass rush might not be enough for the Jags. Baun saw regular work for an excellent Wisconsin defense over the last two seasons and finished this past season with 12.5 sacks. 

Chicago is in the market for guard help following Kyle Long's retirement. Ruiz is arguably the top interior lineman available in the draft and should be able to step in as soon as Week 1.

The Colts' lack of safety depth was exposed last year when they had multiple injuries. Chinn made a great impression at the combine with a 4.45 second 40-yard dash and could make for a great long-term safety tandem next to Malik Hooker.

The Bucs never really seemed convinced in Ronald Jones last year, and they have some strong options at running back this year. Swift is an immediate solution as a versatile back with more than 1,300 yards from scrimmage in each of the last two seasons. He had a strong combine with a 4.48 second 40-yard dash.

With Ja'Wuan James coming off an injury-plagued season on the right side of the line, Denver could be in the market for a new tackle. Wilson is a mammoth at 6-foot-6, 350 pounds and could be an immediate replacement.

Atlanta has a young and inexperienced secondary after losing Desmond Trufant this offseason. A converted wideout, Igbinoghene is slightly undersized at 5-foot-11 but has plenty of upside.

With the loss of Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa's football future murky, the Jets are likely to select a wideout early. The 6-foot-4 Higgins averaged nearly 20 yards per reception for the second time in three years during 2019, and he had 26 touchdowns in his last two seasons.

James Conner's future as Pittsburgh's starting running back is now unclear after struggling last year, and no one else in the Steelers backfield stepped up. Edwards-Helaire is one of the most versatile backs in the draft, finishing last season with 55 receptions and more than 1,800 yards from scrimmage.

The Bears were clearly missing a banged up Taylor Gabriel last season, but there are several possible replacement's in this year's draft. Reagor's production fell off last season due to poor quarterback play, but he really helped himself at the combine with a 4.47 second 40-yard dash and 42-inch vertical jump, second best in the wideout field. He had 72 catches for 1,061 yards and nine scores in 2018 before regressing last season.

Dallas lost two huge pieces of its secondary this offseason with Byron Jones and Jeff Heath. Dugger might need time to catch up to the NFL speed but has clear upside for a late second-round price.

With the trade of Brandin Cooks, the Rams are suddenly thin at wideout. Shenault didn't have a great combine while performing injured, but he's terrific with the ball in his hands with the hope he can develop into a weapon similar to Robert Woods.

Linebacker remains a weak area for the Eagles. Brooks has been a tackling machine for most of his career at Texas Tech, with 360 career tackles, including 108 last year.

While still strong at defensive end, the Bills are long in the tooth with Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison. Lewis had six sacks in 10 games last season. He's a project but has the physical tools to be a star if he can stay healthy.

Baltimore is comfortable with the Mark Ingram-Gus Edwards combo, but Ingram is now in his 30s and Edwards lacks versatility. Dobbins was highly productive in three seasons at Ohio State and rushed for more than 2,000 yards last season. 

Wide receiver is the Dolphins' biggest strength, but they lack a long-term slot receiver to complement DeVante Parker and Preston Williams. Hamler is undersized at 5-foot-9 but has a chance to be an excellent slot receiver. He had 56 catches for 904 yards and eight touchdowns last season for Penn State.

With the loss of Dante Fowler, an edge rusher could be a priority for the Rams. Uche shows big upside after recording 14.5 sacks in 21 games over the last two seasons.

The loss of Everson Griffen leaves a hole at defensive end for the Vikings. Weaver had 34 sacks in three seasons at Boise State and shows potential as a pass rushing specialist.

The Seahawks have yet to adequately replace Jadeveon Clowney, as they try to rebuild their pass rush for the second consecutive year. Greenard had 10 sacks last season and could be an interesting pass-rushing specialist.

Baltimore loves to use two tight end sets but traded former first-round pick Hayden Hurst this offseason. Kmet shows huge upside as a pass catcher after finishing with 43 catches for 515 yards and six touchdowns in 10 games last season.

The Titans have a possible position to fill at right tackle after losing Jack Conklin. Peart is a massive tackle prospect at 6-foot-7 who could develop at right tackle.

The Packers have been begging to find help for Aaron Rodgers, and this is the right draft to find wideouts. The son of the former running back, Pittman Jr. had a huge senior season at USC with 101 catches for 1,275 yard and 11 touchdowns and could be a red-zone fiend at 6-foot-4.

The Chiefs need more defensive end depth after the losses of Emmanuel Ogbah and Terrell Suggs. Okwara has good size and could be given time to develop after playing well over the last two seasons for the Fighting Irish.

The Seahawks got great value out of DK Metcalf in last year's draft and could have their eyes on a similarly athletic prospect in the second round this year. Claypool is a physical freak and the college production to back it up, with 1,037 yards and 13 touchdowns last season.

Cincinnati needs help at linebacker but doesn't have to look far to get it. Harrison was a tackling machine for the Buckeyes over the last two seasons, including 16.5 tackles for loss in his senior year.

With the Trent Williams situation at a standstill, it's time for Washington to find a replacement. Bartch is trying to make the jump from Division III. He lacks much experience on the offensive line but could be a starter soon at either tackle spot.

Detroit needs help at guard, especially with Matthew Stafford coming off a serious back injury. Hunt has ample size and even has potential to move to tackle down the line.

The Jets added Pierre Desir but still need more depth at cornerback. Dantzler lacks top-end speed but shows nice upside as a man coverage corner.

The Panthers lost multiple defensive linemen in the offseason and certainly need to rebuild that area. Lynch had a huge junior season at Baylor with 13.5 sacks in 14 games playing for Panthers head coach Matt Rhule.

Miami has been busy adding to their linebacker corps this offseason but still needs help at inside linebacker. Davis-Gaither has been a tackling machine at App State, with 96 tackles in 2018 and 101 tackles last season.

The Chargers lost Melvin Gordon this offseason and could use another running back to complement Austin Ekeler. The versatile Akers had two 1,000 yard rushing seasons at Florida State and ran a solid 4.47 second 40 time at the combine. His versatility is a fit on third down in the short term.

Arizona has a need at right tackle with Marcus Gilbert failing to stay healthy again last season. Niang is a huge tackle prospect at 6-foot-6 with the potential to play immediately at right tackle.

The Jaguars have stated they'd like to give Gardner Minshew a legitimate shot, but there are several quarterbacks on Day 2 who could challenge him. Hurts is gaining steam after his great career between Alabama and Oklahoma. He has elite mobility and more arm talent than he's given credit for, nearly completing 70 percent of his passes for the Sooners last season.

Not only do the Browns need a left tackle, but they also could use more depth at guard. Lewis is a running game mauler who should be able to start from Day 1.

The Colts signed Philip Rivers for 2020, but their future at quarterback is still unclear. Fromm was a winner at Georgia, with 78/18 TD/INT for his career, though he completed only 61 percent of his passes last year and lacks mobility. 

The Bucs have installed Tom Brady as their starter but would still be smart to plan beyond the 43-year-old. Eason failed to put up big numbers in college between Georgia and Washington, but his prototypical NFL passer size and arm strength should make him an interesting developmental project.

Denver added Jurrell Casey this offseason but still has a thin defensive line. Madubuike is a load on the interior and recorded 5.5 sacks in each of the last two seasons.

After losing Austin Hooper in free agency, Atlanta hopes Hayden Hurst can replace him. Trautman is more of a long-term tight end option who could struggle with the transition from Dayton, but he has interesting receiving ability.

Finding quality edge rushers has been a problem for the Jets lately. Anae recorded 13 sacks last season and could be a nice pass-rushing specialist immediately.

The Raiders signed Cory Littleton this offseason but still could use more linebacker help. Gay has plenty of talent but had his college career disrupted due to NCAA violations.

Defensive end was the Raiders top priority in last year's draft, and their focus could move to the interior this year. Elliott has ample size to plug up the middle at 6-foot-4, 315 pounds.

The loss of Byron Jones makes cornerback a need for Dallas. Robertson fits as a slot corner, standing at 5-foot-8.

Denver needs more depth at inside linebacker, and there are many candidates in a deep 2020 class. Wilson was a tackling machine during his career at Wyoming with 409 tackles in four seasons.

The Rams could add competition on the interior of their offensive line after struggling last year. Hennessy's football future is likely at center, and he could strengthen the line in 2020.

Detroit spent a second-round pick on Kerryon Johnson just two years ago, but he couldn't stay healthy last season. Moss had a forgettable combine, but the powerful runner could compete with Johnson. He is a powerful runner despite lack of size at 5-foot-9; he had three straight 1,000 yard rushing seasons for the Utes.

The Bills are set to make Devin Singletary their starting running back but need a backup plan. Evans was quite productive at App State, with two 1,100-plus yard seasons along with blazing 4.41 speed at the combine.

With one of the oldest secondaries in the NFL, New England could look for help at either cornerback or safety. Davis was an excellent playmaker at Cal and has impressive physical ability, also running track in college.

Pass rush has been a high priority for the Saints recently, and Sheldon Rankins' nagging Achilles injury has created a need for more depth. Gallimore is a potential load in the middle but also has some pass rush skills, recording seven sacks over the last two seasons.

Minnesota franchised safety Anthony Harris after a career year and could be looking toward 2021. Burgess has a strong combine after a great senior season with 81 tackles for the Utes.

Houston's secondary was pummeled at times last year, and the team's cornerback depth consists of multiple draft busts in Vernon Hargreaves and Gareon Conley. Hall's stock could be hurt after missing time with an ankle injury last year, but he has the ability to play immediately in the NFL if he can bounce back.

The Raiders are set on the offensive line, but guard Richie Incognito will be 37 this season. Kindley is a mammoth at 6-foot-3, 337 pounds and could challenge for a starting spot.

Baltimore added Calais Campbell and Derek Wolfe to the defensive line this year and could look for young depth behind those veterans. Davis faded at Alabama after a great 2017 season but has the physical tools to be a load at the next level if he can put it all together.

Pass rush remains an area of need for the Titans despite signing Vic Beasley. Taylor recorded a total of 16.5 sacks over the last two seasons for the Vols and is a strong fit as a 4-3 defensive end.

The Packers seem high on second-year tight end Jace Sternberger, but he remains unproven. Bryant is a receiving tight end who put up huge numbers last season, with 65 catches for 1,004 yards.

Denver replaced Chris Harris with A.J. Bouye but could use more cornerback depth. Holmes has proved to be a playmaker in college with eight picks in three seasons but is slightly undersized at 5-foot-10.

The Chiefs have room to improve on the interior of their offensive line. Biadasz has plug-and-play written all over him after a great career at Wisconsin, though most of his experience is at center.

The Browns are lacking wide receiver depth behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry but have plenty of options in this draft. Jefferson never put up big numbers at Ole Miss or Florida and will be 24 at the start of the 2020 season but has the potential to play immediately as a slot receiver.

The Patriots lost Kyle Van Noy and Jamie Collins in the offseason, so they could use a pass rush boost. Gipson had a good senior season at Tulsa with eight sacks in 12 games and shows big upside as a development prospect.

The Giants signed James Bradberry to start opposite Deandre Baker but have a need for additional depth. Pride helped himself with a 4.4 second 40 time at the combine and has plenty of playing experience coming out of Notre Dame.

The Pats have still yet to get a full season out of 2018 first-round pick Isaiah Wynn, and their lack of offensive line depth bit them last year. Wanogho is a perfect development prospect and has plenty of college experience.

With K.J. Wright and Bobby Wagner past their primes, Seattle could plan for the future at linebacker. Dye had 391 career tackles in four seasons at Oregon and is a solid Day 2 option.

Star defensive end Cameron Heyward will be 31 next month, so the Steelers could look for a backup plan. Hamilton put himself on the Day 2 radar with a big senior season at Ohio State, recording six sacks in 13 games.

The Eagles lost much of their offensive line depth this offseason, and should look to replenish it in this year's draft. Lemieux is an experienced guard option.

The Rams are currently counting on some inexperienced youth following the loss of key inside linebacker Cory Littleton. Phillips is a big, experienced tackling machine who recorded 113 tackles for LSU last season.

With multiple personnel losses at corner this offseason, Minnesota could be in the market for replacements. Robinson had an outstanding combine and is coming off a great senior season with four picks.

Baltimore continues to look for more weapons to help Lamar Jackson, and Bowden can do it all. He played quarterback last season at Kentucky and is a great fit as a slot receiver and returner. Bowden rushed for 1,468 yards and also had 30 receptions last year, with 114 receptions for his career.
