1 Nick Bosa COLLEGE: OHIO STATE CLASS: Jr. HEIGHT: 6'3" WEIGHT: 270 STRONG POINTS: The comps to brother Joey are natural and, in this case, accurate. Nick Bosa is a big, explosive athlete with a relentless motor, capable of lining up with his hand in the dirt, standing up or reducing inside on passing downs. He has an explosive first step, capable of winning with quickness as a 3-technique. But he’s at his best working on the edge, due to his quickness, functional strength and, most of all, rare fluidity and flexibility for a man his size. He can dip and bend, and he is exceedingly slippery on inside counters. He’s a maestro with his hands, with a series of moves he can go to and unusual polish for a…

As much as fans revel in their teams’ greatest moments, football to a large degree is really always about next year. No doubt the fans in Kansas City had barely digested their celebratory brews ’n’ BBQ and swept the red and gold confetti off of Grand Boulevard in downtown K.C. before thoughts turned to how the Chiefs were going defend their title. A critical step in the process will occur on April 23, 2020, on the Las Vegas strip, as the champs stroll confidently to the podium to announce the 32nd pick in the first round of the NFL Draft. There’s no more important step in securing a team’s future than a successful draft haul, which is why the draft has in some ways supplanted the Super Bowl as the…

1ST ROUND 1. Cincinnati Joe Burrow, QB, LSU Second-year head coach Zac Taylor was hired to do for the Bengals offense what Sean McVay did when he took over the Rams three years ago. Burrow has the accuracy, pocket presence and playmaking ability to make good on that promise. 2. Washington Chase Young, DE, Ohio State Young is a no-brainer as the top prospect in this draft. The only question here is whether Washington’s new front office considers trading out of the spot to acquire more draft picks to address the numerous holes on the team’s bottom-tier roster. 3. Detroit Jeff Okudah, CB, Ohio State Detroit’s pass defense was a mess last season, and with CB Darius Slay entering a contract year, the Lions need to strengthen their secondary. Okudah…

1. St. Louis: Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma St. Louis (2010-14), Philadelphia (2015), Minnesota (2016-17), Arizona (2018) After becoming only the second player to win the Heisman Trophy as a sophomore, Bradford became a synonym for “injury-prone” at the next level. Only twice in his nine-year career did Bradford start all 16 games, losing significant time to knee and ankle injuries. In the end, though, it was unproductive play in his final stop — a poor three-game showing for Arizona at the start of the 2018 season — that effectively ended his career. Bradford went 34–48–1 as a starter, with no playoff appearances. 2. Detroit: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska Detroit (2010-14), Miami (2015-17), L.A. Rams (2018), Tampa Bay (2019) Suh was one of the most feared defenders in college football history.…
