Herbert to Dolphins, Tua to Chargers in Peter Schrager's 2020 NFL Mock Draft 2.0

Justin Herbert's stock is rising and Tua Tagovailoa's continues to wobble in NFL analyst Peter Schrager's latest mock draft.  

The Good Morning Football host still believes the Cincinnati Bengals will hold onto the No. 1 overall pick and select Joe Burrow, but the rest of his top 10 has some notable changes. Here's how Schrager sees things playing out on April 23: 

1. QB Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals

2. Edge Chase Young, Washington Redskins

3. CB Jeff Okudah, Detroit Lions

4. OT Tristan Wirfs, New York Giants

5. QB Justin Herbert, Miami Dolphins 

6. QB Tua Tagovailoa, Los Angeles Chargers

7. LB Isaiah Simmons, Carolina Panthers

8. DT Derrick Brown, Arizona Cardinals

9. CB CJ Henderson, Jacksonville Jaguars 

10. OT Jedrick Wills, Cleveland Browns. 

Despite Tagovailoa's encouraging prognosis following a hip surgery that derailed his final year at Alabama, Schrager still believes the Dolphins will pass on him. Miami's need for a quarterback has been well established yet the "uncertainty and whispers" Schrager is hearing has led him to believe Herbert may be the best option with the No. 5 pick. 

If so, it could be the start of a notable slide for the former Crimson Tide quarterback after such a promising college career. While Schrager has Tagovailoa penciled in at No. 6, his footnote for the Chargers' selection carries quite a caveat: 

"GM Tom Telesco treats this stuff like government secrets, and I get the feeling he takes real pride in throwing everyone for a loop seemingly every single year. The Chargers could go a variety of ways here, regardless of whether Tua is on the board. The thought of featuring Derwin James and Isaiah Simmons behind Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa is awfully tempting. As is drafting one of the top offensive tackles. Tagovailoa to Los Angeles at No. 6 would be a good fit for all parties involved. Tyrod Taylor for a year; Tua from there. But this is a guess. I repeat -- a guess."

Notably, the Dolphins have three first-round picks. If the team is certain Tagovailoa is their guy but is weary of taking him at No. 5, they could see if he falls to them at No. 18 or No. 26 or try to trade down from No. 5. There are plenty of risks involved, however this year's class is anything but short on quarterbacks. 

What seems like a given at this point—barring any last-minute trades—is that the Bengals will stick with Burrow and the Redskins will quickly snatch up Chase Young at No. 2. 

After that is when things start getting interesting.
