Burrow and Young are the consensus top two projected picks in the draft, though there's still time for movement with the potential for quarterback-needy teams to trade up with an eye toward landing Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

LSU signal-caller Burrow is coming off a monster 2019 season en route to winning the Heisman Trophy. He completed 76.3 percent of his throws for 5,671 yards with 60 touchdowns and six interceptions while helping lead the Tigers to a national championship.

He is a virtual lock to get selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the first overall pick.

"Of course, I want to be the first pick. That's every kids' dream. I've worked really, really hard for this opportunity," he told reporters in February. "Two hours, 15 minutes from my house. I could go home for dinner if I wanted to. Not a lot of pro athletes could get to do that."

Meanwhile, Young is the top player on the latest big board from Bleacher Report's Matt Miller.

The dynamic edge-rusher recorded 46 total tackles, 16.5 sacks, seven forced fumbles and three passes defended in 12 games last season. He tallied 30.5 sacks in 34 appearances at OSU.

It's unclear how the NFL plans to showcase the prospects, who traditionally walk across the stage for reception by commissioner Roger Goodell, following the change in format.
