More home cooking to impact draft order … The Thanksgiving weekend sometimes tends to be one of the tougher weeks to travel in the NFL. If that is true, it could be a small blessing in disguise for the teams sitting at the very top of the 2020 draft board as 4 of the 5 teams currently stting on this year’s highest picks will be at home later today. Still winless Cincinnati, which would have the 1st pick overall were the draft held this week, for example, will host the NY Jets in an early game this afternoon in what figures to be a winnable game for the Bengals, although the Jets have been hot of late. Meanwhile, the Giants, who currenly hold the second pick overall, will be hosting Green Bay, while #3 Miami welcomes Philadelphia and #5 Denver greets the LA Chargers. In that game, the Broncos will give rookie QB Drew Lock his first career start. The only team currently with a top 5 pick that is on the road today is Washington which will be at Carolina. As usual, the first round selection order for the 2020 draft were it to be held this week will be updated at the conclusion of the Monday night game tomorrow.
