NJ.Com -- NFL Draft 2020: Blockbuster Giants-Dolphins trade, but not for Tua Tagovailoa? Eagles trade up for CeeDee Lamb or Henry Ruggs? Latest 1st-round projection
Thoughts?
1. Cincinnati Bengals: QB Joe Burrow, LSU. There’s no chance the Bengals actually let him slip by and trade back. Right?
2. Washington Redskins: EDGE Chase Young, Ohio State. Ron Rivera is strangely comfortable with Kyle Allen if Dwayne Haskins doesn’t work out. Adding another QB into the mix seems unlikely.
3. Detroit Lions: CB Jeff Okudah, Ohio State. After trading Darius Slay, the Lions signed Desmond Trufant, but that’s not enough, especially since Okudah is probably the best player available here.
** TRADE **
Dolphins get: Giants first-round pick (No. 4), fifth-round pick (No. 150) and seventh-round pick (No. 248), 2021 sixth-round pick
Giants get: Dolphins first-round pick (No. 5), second-round pick (No. 56), fourth-round pick (No. 141) and 2021 fourth-round pick
***
4. Miami Dolphins (via Giants): QB Justin Herbert, Oregon. The Dolphins have to compete with the Chargers’ desire for a quarterback, too, and the Giants are in the sweet spot. It’s a lot to give up for one slot, but they might have to pony up to stave off Los Angeles. This is just a guess, but with the lack of medical testing or private workouts with Tua Tagovailoa due to the coronavirus, it wouldn’t be surprising if a team fell more in love with Herbert.
5. New York Giants (via Dolphins): OT Tristan Wirfs, Iowa. Dave Gettleman has never traded back in the first round before so it’s always a risk projecting him to change his nature. Still, if the Giants were ever going to trade back to accumulate more picks, this is the year to do it especially with offensive line being their biggest need and three potential studs (Wirfs, Mekhi Becton, Jedrick Wills) on the board. Wirfs is an athletic freak with the versatility to play left tackle, right tackle or guard. He’ll start right away.
