1. Cincinnati Bengals – Joe Burrow, QB, LSU

No change here. Burrow continues to cement his position as the top quarterback in the class and did so again in leading LSU to an easy SEC Championship game win over Georgia. There is little to suggest he won’t be a Bengal come April.

2. New York Giants – Chase Young, EDGE, Ohio State

The Giants need help on the offensive line, but the addition of Young to the defensive line could have a transformative impact on one of the worst defenses in football.

3. Washington Redskins – Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia

It’s tough to envision a scenario where Trent Williams is still with Washington in 2020, and the Redskins need to get Dwayne Haskins better protection if he is to flourish as a pro.

4. Miami Dolphins – Jeffrey Okudah, CB, Ohio State

The Dolphins could settle for the Justin Herbert consolation prize here, but there’s better value in taking the top corner in the class and pairing him with Xavien Howard. That duo would instantly be one of the most talented corner combos in the NFL.

5. Atlanta Falcons – A.J. Epenesa, EDGE, Iowa

Atlanta has had little luck with drafting outside pass rushers in recent years but an excellent 2019 from Epenesa should give them plenty of confidence he is worthy of a top-five pick.
