The first NFL virtual draft was definitely an interesting one, and the tech worked well enough.
The NFL 2020 Round 1 draft results are as follows:
1. Cincinnati Bengals – Joe Burrow QB LSU – 6’4″ 221 lbs.
The chalk #1 pick takes over for Andy Dalton and will have A.J. Green, speedster John Ross, and SWR Tyler Boyd to work with.
2. Washington Redskins – Chase Young DE Ohio State – 6’5″ 264 lbs.
Should be an immediate impact starter on the edge.

Brings a man-to-man press corner skill-set as a starter.
4. New York Giants – Andrew Thomas OT Georgia – 6’5″ 315 lbs.
Addresses a need for a giant weakness as he’s expected to strengthen protection for Daniel Jones as well as bring game for Saquon Barkley.
5. Miami Dolphins – Tua Tagovailoa QB Alabama – 6’0″ 217 lbs.
The lefty may not bring an immediate impact with Ryan Fitzpatrick still in town.

Brings an every-down, versatile skill-set, as a future strong safety.
9. Jacksonville Jaguars – CJ Henderson CBFlorida – 6’1″ 204 lbs.
