1. player. 56. . Quarterback. Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow

Joe Burrow appears to be the clear number one this year. With the Cincinnati Bengals ready to move on from Andy Dalton, the national champion from Southern Ohio, Joe Burrow looks to be a sure thing. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner looks to have two matchups per year with Baker Mayfield for the foreseeable future.

Speculation has picked up that the Miami Dolphins are exploring a trade for the top pick. Given Burrow’s talent, I don’t see the offer being big enough for the Bengals to trade back. Look for the Bengals to stay put at number one with Burrow. I’m not buying into the Bengals may like Justin Herbert at this point.

59. . Quarterback. Miami Dolphins. Tua Tagovailoa. 2. player

TRADE – Washington Redskins to Miami Dolphins

After an aggressive offseason, the Miami Dolphins will likely be looking for their future quarterback in the 2020 draft. After receiving positive medical news on his injured hip before the combine, look for the Dolphins to move up to draft the Alabama mobile quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa.

It doesn’t appear the Detroit Lions or New York Giants will be in the quarterback market, but the Dolphins won’t risk the Redskins not willing to pass a talent like Tagovailoa. The Reskins currently have Dwayne Haskins, Kyle Allen and Alex Smith on the roster. All have starting experience, but all have serious questions including an injury to Alex Smith that sidelined him all of 2019.

With all the money spent this offseason in free agency, the Dolphins will not be satisfied with Josh Rosen or Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback. It will be a win-now mentality, which means trading assets to make sure they get the second-best quarterback available.
