Dave Birkett's NFL mock draft 1.0: Detroit Lions stay put at No. 3, take defense

Dave Birkett peers into his crystal ball for a final time to predict who the Detroit Lions — and every other team — will select in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft in Las Vegas.

1. Cincinnati Bengals

QB Joe Burrow, LSU – This is a no-brainer. The Bengals need a quarterback and Burrow just turned in a season for the ages.

2. Washington

DE Chase Young, Ohio State – I suspect new coach Ron Rivera will do the appropriate leg work on Tua Tagovailoa, but in the end Young will be too good to pass up.
