NFL Draft 2020 Tua Tagovailoa and the 10

The 2020 NFL draft should be pretty predictable, right? Joe Burrow is almost a lock to be taken by the with the first overall pick. The , armed with three first-round picks, will finally realize their destiny when they take quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with the fifth overall pick. Chase Young, the talented pa s rusher out of Ohio State, will be selected by the with the No. 3 overall pick, while the , who are right behind them at No. 4, will take former Clemson standout inside linebacker Isaiah Simmons. While each of these predictions looks good on paper, there's a very good chance (based on history) that the early first five picks of the draft won't go exactly as planned.The same can be said about the entire first round of the draft, as many teams are in a position to execute a trade that could shake things up in a major way. With the start of the draft finally here, we decided to rank the 10 likeliest first-round trade scenarios that could take place during or before the draft. And if any of these moves come into fruition later this month, remember who you heard it from first.1. Dolphins acquire No. 2 overall pick from the Redskins for the Miles Boykin Jersey No. 5 overall pick and the 39th overall pickAs alluded to above, the Dolphins, as they currently stand, are in a good position to land anyone other than Borrow with the fifth overall pick. That being said, it shouldn't surprise anyone if the Dolphins decide to try to trade up to ensure that they will have their quarterback of choice. While acquiring the No. 1 overall pick is unlikely, a more likely scenario is the Dolphins trading the fifth pick and one of their two second-round picks to the Redskins for the No. 2 overall pick. That would guarantee them the opportunity to select either Burrow or Tua while still keeping their other two first-round picks. The question is, which of their second-round picks would they have to give up, as Miami currently has the 39th overall pick.2.acquire the No. 9 overall pick from thein exchange for the No. 23, the 87 overall pick and a 2021 second round pick With headed to Tampa Bay, the Patriots may decide to sign or in free agency. But if they don't, the Patriots will have to upgrade their quarterback position during the draft. Their other options are Nico Siragusa Jersey to rely on a second-year former fourth-round pick ( ) or a career backup (Brian Hoyer).This leads to them -- in this scenario -- giving up the 23rd pick overall as well as the team's first of three third-round picks in order to give them a shot at selecting one of the top remaining qurterbacks in the draft. With the ninth overall pick, the Patriots would likely be in position to select either Herbert or Love, a suming Burrow and Tua are off the board by the time the first five picks of the draft have pa sed. The Jaguars, in return, would still have a first-round pick and would also have a second Day 2 draft pick.If this scenario plays out, don't be surprised if the Patriots try to trade up again to further increase Sam Koch Jersey their odds at landing one of the draft's top quarterbacks. Po sible suitors in this scenario include the Giants (with the No. 4 overall pick) or the , who are also looking for their next franchise quarterback after letting go earlier this offseason. In this scenario, the Patriots would also likely be looking for a second-round pick, something they lost after acquiring in a trade with the last season. 3. acquire the 7th and 152nd overall picks from the in exchange for the 14th and 45th overall picksThis idea was actually hatched during , with (serving as the Buccaneers general manager) selecting former Alabama offensive tackle Jedrick Wills. While Houston's and/or Louisville's Mekhi Becton may still be there at No. 14, Tampa Bay -- who may be willing to give up one of their two fourth-round picks in order to trade up -- may not want to take any chances at mi sing out on acquiring one of the draft's top linemen. The Buccaneers surely want to improve that facet of their team after signing Tom Brady to a two-year deal.For the Panthers, there's a good chance that the player they want may still be there with the 14th pick. That was the case during Monday's mock draft, with former Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah falling to Carolina at No. 14. 4. Chargers acquire the No. 2 overall pick in exchange for the No. 6 overall pick and a 2021 second-round pickThe Chargers, who are also in need of a quarterback, can't be ruled out of moving up a few spots in order to solidify their odds at landing one of the top signal-callers in the draft. While they are currently sitting in a good position with the No. 6 overall pick, Los Angeles may decide not to be content at acquiring the best quarterback left at that spot, with Burrow and Tua expected to be off the board after the first Matt Judon Jersey five selections.The question here is how much the Chargers like Herbert and/or Love, who both should be there for the taking with the sixth overall pick. Los Angeles also doesn't have a ton of draft picks to give up, as they currently have one pick in each round. The Chargers, who likely won't be willing to part with the 37th overall pick, may have to be willing to give up a 2021 second-round pick if either the Redskins or the Lions aren't willing to accept a third or fourth-round pick. 5. acquire the No. 3 overall pick from the Lions in exchange for the No. 12 and 19th overall picksWhile the Raiders already have and on their roster, general manager Mike Mayock has said that he would select a quarterback in the first round if he felt like that player would significantly improve the Raiders' chances of winning. Las Vegas has reportedly conducted virtual interviews with Justin Herbert and Jordan Love, and would likely be willing to part with their current first-round picks in order to select one these quarterbacks ... they ultimately decide that Herbert/Love is team's future quarterback.6. Jaguars acquire No. 3 and No. 109 overall pick from thein exchange for the No. 9 and 20 overall picks With in Chicago, everyone is expecting Justin Bethel Jersey to be the Jaguars' starting quarterback heading into the 2020 season. And while that may be the case, don't be surprised if the Jaguars decide to trade their two first-round picks in order to move up to select Tua, a scenario thatby CBS Sports editor R.J. White. While Minshew had his moments last season, Tua, who was enjoying a prolific career at Alabama before suffering his hip injury, has significantly more upside. His arrival would also bolster interest from a Jacksonville fan base that is in need of some excitement following two losing seasons. Jacksonville could also offer defensive end (who is trying to get out of Jacksonville) as a trade piece, an offer that should certainly entice Washing
