NFL Draft 2020: Latest Trade Rumors, Daily Schedule and Round 1 Mock

Draft-Day Trade Chatter

As is usually the case on opening day, there is no shortage of trade buzz.

The first two picks in the draft appear to be set, with the Cincinnati Bengals taking LSU quarterback Joe Burrow and the Washington Redskins selecting Ohio State edge-rusher Chase Young. It's unlikely that Cincinnati would pass up a shot at a potential franchise quarterback. It's also unlikely—though not impossible—that Washington would pass up a blue-chip defender like Young.

However, fans could see Washington engage in a trade on opening night. According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Washington has talked to multiple teams about dealing left tackle Trent Williams.

Williams did not play in 2019 because of a holdout, but he is a seven-time Pro Bowler who should interest tackle-needy teams. According to Julie Donaldson of NBC Sports Washington, the Cleveland Browns are in discussions with Washington.

It's unlikely that Cleveland would trade its 10th overall pick for the 31-year-old Williams, but a Day 2 pick could be in play. However, the Browns could be eager to get a deal done before Round 1 in order to know their immediate needs at 10.

There could potentially be a run on offensive tackles before the Browns are on the clock, too. According to Rapoport, the Dolphins could kick it off by trading up to No. 3 for a tackle:

The New York Giants, meanwhile, are likely to be in the tackle market as well.

"It is by no means a lock this early in the process, but the consensus of sources who spoke to SNY is that the Giants will take a tackle at No. 4, and quite possibly take another offensive lineman—likely a center—in Round 2," SNY's Ralph Vacchiano wrote.

While the Dolphins are eager to move up, the Carolina Panthers could be interested in sliding back, according to Rapoport.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, the Arizona Cardinals are also interested in trading down:

Because of the uncertain nature of this year's remote draft, we could see an unusual number of trades completed before the start of Round 1. Communication won't be as fluid as it normally would be, which could make real-time trades more difficult—Team A cannot simply call Team B's war room to get a deal done.

However, real-time deals will still likely occur as players begin coming off the board and others drop. Expect plenty of fireworks over the next three days.
