NFL mock draft season is in full swing, and it’s a welcome change of pace from all the coronavirus news that’s been consuming sports media.
And on Thursday, Sports Betting Dime released its own first-round mock draft based on Sportsbook odds that predicts the New England Patriots will select a linebacker with their 23rd overall pick.
That prospect is Kenneth Murray, an inside linebacker out of Oklahoma. Murray earned First Team All-Big 12 honors in his junior year and was the Big 12 Defensive Freshman of the Year.
Predictably, it also suggests LSU quarterback Joe Burrow will go first overall and has Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa coming in as the fifth-overall pick after rumors of him flunking at least two pre-draft physicals, despite reports from his camp that he’s 100% recovered from hip surgery.
Here’s a look at the rest of the mock draft:
1. Cincinnati Bengals – Joe Burrow
2. Washington Redskins – Chase Young
3. Detroit Lions – Jeff Okudah
4. New York Giants – Isaiah Simmons
5. Miami Dolphins – Tua Tagovailoa
