Redskins to draft top defensive prospect?

The Washington Redskins are another team that are rebuilding this offseason after a disappointing 2019 season. New head coach Ron Rivera has the No. 2 pick of the Draft and can select the top defensive prospect available.

Chase Young, who grew up just a few miles away from the home of the Redskins, recorded 46 tackles, 16.5 sacks and seven forced fumbles to earn All-American honours. The Ohio State defensive end said he would be "honored" to play for his hometown team.

Cincinnati Bengals to select Joe Burrow?

The Cincinnati Bengals have the No.1 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. There has been plenty of talk about the team drafting a franchise quarterback.

LSU's Joe Burrow is one of the top quarterbacks available in this year's class. The 2019 Heisman Trophy winner has been widely tipped to be drafted by the Bengals, who finished with a 2-14 record last season.

Burrow guided LSU to National Championship glory in 2019 and put up numbers that caught the attention of the NFL. The quarterback threw for 5,671 and 60 touchdowns in just 14 games.

An elite class for wide recievers

The focus back in 2018 were on the quarterbacks available and five were taken in the first round. It's not every year that a rookie class is as strong in one position, but this year, there are a whole host of wide recievers available.

Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb and Alabama's Jerry Jeudy are predicted to go in the early stages of the first round. Nevertheless, players like Tee Higgins, Tyler Johnson, Justin Jefferson and Jalen Reagor are all also tipped to be taken in the first round.
