Clint Clearwater’s 2020 NFL Mock Draft

We are coming up on the 2020 NFL Combine (starting on the 27th) so I thought it would be fun to do my second edition at a mock draft for the 2020 NFL Draft. In this edition, I have the Dolphins trading up to number #2. In this fun, completely fictitious mock, I have the Dolphins trading the #5, #26 and probably some picks in next year’s draft to move up to number 2 overall. I figured, that would guarantee either Joe Burrow or Tua Tagovailoa to be a Dolphin on opening night. My opinion has been clear, I am sick of being 7-9 every year. I think Joe and Tua are special. Do what needs to be done. So, please enjoy the rest of this mock and thanks for reading.

The Dolphins make the night’s first big trade and select Tua Tagovailoa despite the medical concerns. Guys, I am not a doctor but if he’s cleared medically, Tua will be a top 3 pick. If the Dolphins believe he’s special they need to do whatever it takes to select him.

The mini-run on DEs continues here. DE is a huge need for the Dolphins and Gross-Matos is becoming one of my favorite prospects in this draft. I think this is a terrific pick here and a player that will immediately help the Dolphins.
