Before the 2019 college football season, Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa was widely projected to be the first overall pick during the 2020 NFL Draft. That changed after Tagovailoa suffered a season-ending hip injury during Week 9 action. Joe Burrow from the LSU Tigers is now a runaway favorite for the first overall selection.
After staying out of the QB free agent frenzy, teams like the Bengals, Dolphins, and Chargers will be shopping for a franchise quarterback. Cincinnati is a near-lock to select Burrow first overall. That leaves Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert as the next top QB prospects, and they will be taken early on Day 1 of the draft.
