12 SEC players featured in latest CBS Sports 2020 mock draft
The SEC is regularly expected to flex its muscle as college football’s top conference by dominating the NFL Draft. While it’s a little early for decisions from juniors, draft experts are regularly updating their mocks for 2020. Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports has 12 SEC players as first-round selections in his latest mock draft:
- LSU QB Joe Burrow – Cincinnati Bengals, No. 1 overall
- Alabama WR Jerry Jeudy – New York Giants, No. 3
- Georgia OL Andrew Thomas – New York Jets, No. 5
- Alabama OL Alex Leatherwood – Denver Broncos, No. 7
- LSU CB Kristian Fulton – Atlanta Falcons, No. 8
- South Carolina DL Javon Kinlaw – Arizona Cardinals, No. 9
- Auburn DL Derrick Brown – Jacksonville Jaguars, No. 13
- Alabama WR Henry Ruggs III – Oakland Raiders, No. 14
- LSU S Grant Delpit – Minnesota Vikings, No. 24
- South Carolina WR Bryan Edwards – Buffalo Bills, No. 26
- Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa – New England Patriots, No. 31
- Alabama CB Xavier McKinney – San Francisco 49ers, No. 32
We’re in for months of speculation about where Tagovailoa will be drafted after his season-ending injury. It will be interesting to see if draft experts start projecting Tagovailoa as Tom Brady’s heir apparent as the injury may drop from early first-round to late first-round.
