        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It’s here. Finally.</p><p>A live sporting event of sorts to take our minds off this pandemic.</p><p><strong>High drama, compelling theater,</strong> tears and cheers for all those collegiate stars whose dreams come true.</p><p>The Serby Mock 6.0 does not include trades, features a Tua Tagovailoa fall and a surprise landing spot when all is said and done with the first<strong> virtual draft</strong> on Thursday night.</p><p>Let the run on offensive tackles and wide receivers begin, and don’t forget to boo Roger Goodell:</p><h2><strong>1. Cincinnati Bengals — <strong>Joe Burrow</strong> (QB, LSU)</strong></h2><p>Now everyone in the AFC North except the Steelers has its young franchise quarterback. Riverfront Joe, The Pride of Athens, Ohio.</p><h2><strong>2. Washington Redskins — Chase Young (DE, Ohio State)</strong></h2><p>At least Giants fans who are disconsolate over losing the Week 16 Chase Young Bowl won’t have to endure him hugging Goodell — BOOOO! — on stage. A double-digit sacker for HC Ron Rivera and DC Jack Del Rio.</p><h2><strong>3. Detroit Lions — Jeff Odukah (CB, Ohio State)</strong></h2><p>GM Bob Quinn is eager to trade down. DT Derrick Brown and <strong>Isaiah Simmons </strong>are in the conversation. A bluechip bookend to Desmond Trufant to replace Darius Slay.</p><h2><strong>4. New York Giants — <strong>Jedrick Wills</strong>, (OT, Alabama)</strong></h2><p>The Nick Saban NFL player factory delivers a Hog Mollie mauler to Dave Gettleman, even after some frightening Zoom glitches that nearly had him accidentally drafting Justin Herbert.</p><p><iframe  width="100%" height="200" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" data-src="https://playlist.megaphone.fm/?e=ADL8357824779&amp;light=true" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="></iframe></p><h2><strong>5. Miami Dolphins — Andrew Thomas (OT, Georgia)</strong></h2><p>Is this who they covet in a trade with the Lions? He can be their LT for the next decade for their QB of the Future.</p><h2><strong>6. Los Angeles Chargers — Justin Herbert (QB, Oregon) </strong></h2><p>HC Anthony Lynn may be enamored with Tyrod Taylor, but why pass on a QB of the Future?</p><h2><strong>7. Carolina Panthers — Isaiah Simmons (LB/S, Clemson)</strong></h2><p>The Matt Rhule Era begins with the dynamic Swiss Army knife who replaces retired Luke Kuechly … and just about anyone else the rookie HC asks him to.</p><h2><strong>8. Arizona Cardinals — Derrick Brown (DT, Auburn)</strong></h2><p>Let’s see how well the Seahawks and 49ers can run on a triumvirate featuring Jordan Phillips and Corey Peters.</p><h2><strong>9. Jacksonville Jaguars — C.J. Henderson (CB, Florida)</strong></h2><p>The Falcons will be calling, but Jalen Ramsey and A.J. Bouye are gone.</p><h2><strong>10. Cleveland Browns — Mekhi Becton (OT, Louisville)</strong></h2><p>If legendary former Browns LT Joe Thomas is confident O-line coach Bill Callahan can get the most out of this agile, mobile and hostile 6-foot-7¹/₂, 364-pounder, and let Baker Mayfield hide behind a bookend for RT Jack Conklin and let Nick Chubb run behind him.</p><figure id="attachment_15540183" class="wp-caption alignnone aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/joe-burrow.tua-tagovailoa.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/04/joe-burrow.tua-tagovailoa.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/04/joe-burrow.tua-tagovailoa.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Joe Burrow and Tua Tagovailoa<span class="credit">AP (2)</span></figcaption></figure><h2><strong>11. New York Jets — <strong>Tristan Wirfs</strong> (OT, Iowa)</strong></h2><p>If Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz is confident this freakish 6-5, 322-pounder can handle left tackle, Joe Douglas will gladly believe him to keep his<strong> promise to Sam Darnold’s parents to protect him</strong>.</p><h2><strong>12. Las Vegas Raiders — CeeDee Lamb (WR, Oklahoma)</strong></h2><p>Jon Gruden might have to be restrained from taking Tua, but GM Mike Mayock picks a charismatic yards-after-catch monster who can give Derek Carr much-needed help and make everyone forget the Antonio Brown fiasco.</p><h2><strong>13. San Francisco 49ers — Henry Ruggs III (WR, Alabama) </strong></h2><p>Think about Kyle Shanahan inserting a 4.27 burner like this as the perfect complement to Deebo Samuel.</p><h2><strong>14. Tampa Bay Buccaneers — Josh Jones (OT, Houston)</strong></h2><p>Bruce Arians is desperate enough to protect Tom Brady so he can throw to Rob Gronkowski again that he reaches for a blocker with the most experience to plug the right side.</p><p><strong><b><i>Submit questions on your favorite New York teams to be answered in an upcoming mailbag</i></b></strong></p><h2><strong>15. Denver Broncos — Jerry Jeudy (WR, Alabama)</strong></h2><p>John Elway lands his complement to Courtland Sutton after red flags surface about Jeudy’s knee.</p><h2><strong>16. Atlanta Falcons — Javon Kinlaw (DT, South Carolina)</strong></h2><p>A massive, violent powerhouse who slides only because of past knee tendinitis.</p><h2><strong>17. Dallas Cowboys — Justin Jefferson (WR, LSU)</strong></h2><p>A high-character toy in the slot for Dak Prescott to make life easier on Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup … and Zeke.</p><div class="inline-related alignright"><div id="more-on" class="module--see-also box module inline related desktop"><div class="module-title inline"></div><div class="module-wrapper "><article class="story-photo-box  oversize-headline"><div class="excerpt"></div></article></div></div></div><h2><strong>18. Miami Dolphins — <strong>Tua Tagovailoa</strong> (QB, Alabama)</strong></h2><p>Will he drop this far? Really? If owner Stephen Ross signs off on the medicals, if he listens to Nick Saban and fears missing out on a left-handed Drew Brees, perhaps he can pull the trigger here and validate the Tank For Tua movement knowing that he can redshirt behind Ryan Fitzpatrick.</p><h2><strong>19. Las Vegas Raiders — A.J. Terrell (CB, Clemson)</strong></h2><p>Mayock loves Dabo Swinney’s players the way Gettleman loves Hog Mollies, and a bookend for Trayvon Mullen upgrades his 25th-ranked pass defense.</p><h2><strong>20. Jacksonville Jaguars — K’Lavon Chaisson (LB, LSU)</strong></h2><p>A pass-rush prospect who can replace Yannick Ngakoue once he is traded.</p><h2><strong>21. Philadelphia Eagles — Brandon Aiyuk (WR, Arizona State)</strong></h2><p>DeSean Jackson is 33, Alshon Jeffery’s days appear numbered and Carson Wentz needs an explosive, young, 6-1, 208-pound playmaker with 4.5 speed and 40-inch vertical leap who averaged an insane 10.9 yards after catch.</p><h2><strong>22. Minnesota Vikings — Jaylon Johnson (CB, Utah State)</strong></h2><p>Mike Zimmer craves a 6-foot, 195-pound corner to replenish his depleted secondary with Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford on the schedule.</p><h2><strong>23. New England Patriots — Cesar Ruiz (C/G, Michigan)</strong></h2><p>Quality insurance for C David Andrews, who missed 2019 with a blood clot in his lungs, and G Joe Thuney, who could be traded to the Dolphins.</p><h2><strong>24. New Orleans Saints — Kenneth Murray (LB, Oklahoma)</strong></h2><p>Sean Payton missed out on Jamie Collins and lost A.J. Klein, so this high-character, 6-2, 241-pound sideline-to-sideline defender makes sense.</p><h2><strong>25. Minnesota Vikings — Austin Jackson (OT, USC)</strong></h2><p>Riley Reiff needs to move to guard, so here’s a new LT for Kirk Cousins.</p><h2><strong>26. Miami Dolphins — Xavier McKinney (S, Alabama)</strong></h2><p>Another Saban favorite with the instincts and versatility to fill the void left by the trade of Minkah Fitzpatrick.</p><h2><strong>27. Seattle Seahawks — Yetur Gross-Matos, (DE, Penn State)</strong></h2><p>Jadeveon Clowney remains in limbo, and Pete Carroll can never have enough young pass-rushers with length.</p><p><iframe  width="100%" height="200" frameborder="no" scrolling="no" data-src="https://playlist.megaphone.fm/?e=ADL2313022375&amp;light=true" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw=="></iframe></p><h2><strong>28. Baltimore Ravens — Patrick Queen (LB, LSU)</strong></h2><p>Undersized at 6-1, 227 pounds, but Plays Like A Raven enough for Wink Martindale to be his replacement for C.J. Mosley.</p><h2><strong>29. Tennessee Titans — Isaiah Wilson (OT, Georgia)</strong></h2><p>Colleague Zach Braziller vouches for the smashmouth Brooklyn giant (6-6¹/₂, 350 pounds) to replace Conklin and clear the way for Derrick Henry.</p><h2><strong>30. Green Bay Packers — Jordan Love (QB, Utah State)</strong></h2><p>Aaron Rodgers can teach this project to be patient, but he’ll get his receiver in the second round.</p><h2><strong>31. San Francisco 49ers — Ross Blacklock (DT, TCU)</strong></h2><p>A trade out of the round is possible because GM John Lynch’s next pick is No. 156, but here’s an interior disruptor to replace DeForest Buckner.</p><h2><strong>32. Kansas Chiefs — Jeff Gladney (CB, TCU)</strong></h2><p>Brett Veach and Andy Reid can use a feisty 5-10 corner because Kendall Fuller left for the Redskins and Bashaud Breeland is signed for just one year.</p>]]></content:encoded>
