Training camp primer: NFC East NFC East (listed in predicted order of finish) Dallas Cowboys Projected 2020 record: 11-5 2019 record: 8-8 2019 summary: The offense clicked as well as anyone could have hoped under new coordinator Kellen Moore, but untimely hiccups and defensive inconsistency led to a pair of three-game losing streaks. After a finish outside the playoffs, longtime head coach Jason Garrett was not retained. Key additions: WR CeeDee Lamb, DT Gerald McCoy, DT Dontari Poe, S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, QB Andy Dalton, CB Trevon Diggs, DT Neville Gallimore, K Greg Zuerlein Noteworthy losses: C Travis Frederick, CB Byron Jones, DE Robert Quinn, WR Randall Cobb, DE Michael Bennett, DT Maliek Collins, TE Jason Witten, S Jeff Heath, G Xavier Su’a-Filo Cause for concern: Quinn looked rejuvenated in 2019, landing him a big contract in Chicago, and other talented defenders in Jones, Bennett and Collins are all gone. There’s enough depth to survive at cornerback, but the pass rush opposite DeMarcus Lawrence might need a boost. Position battle worth watching: Frederick wasn’t quite himself in 2019, but his retirement was nonetheless a blow. Who will replace him? Connor McGovern, a 2019 third-rounder who missed his rookie campaign due to injury, will try to unseat veteran Joe Looney, while fourth-round rookie Tyler Biadasz could factor. Over-Under win total from PointsBet: 9.5 The Cowboys are a classic candidate to improve, as their 8-8 record last season belied a terrific plus-113 point differential. There are several questions still to answer, but they have the talent to hit double-digit wins with ease. 2020 forecast: It’s unclear how much new head coach Mike McCarthy will influence the offense, but a loaded unit should continue to thrive with CeeDee Lamb’s arrival. Dak Prescott is still playing for a payday, and Ezekiel Elliott should be in better shape. Dallas’ ceiling depends on new coordinator Mike Nolan’s defense, but the Cowboys should battle the Eagles for the division title. Philadelphia Eagles Projected 2020 record: 10-6 2019 record: 9-7 2019 summary: An offense ravaged by injuries struggled to move the ball, but Carson Wentz & Co. won four straight to close the season and claim the NFC East. Wentz, however, was concussed early in what would be a season-ending playoff loss to the Seahawks. Key additions: CB Darius Slay, DT Javon Hargrave, WR Jalen Reagor, CB Nickell Robey-Coleman, S Will Parks, QB Jalen Hurts, LB Jatavis Brown Noteworthy losses: S Malcolm Jenkins, RB Jordan Howard, DE Vinny Curry, CB Ronald Darby, OL Halapoulivaati Vaitai, DT Tim Jernigan, WR Nelson Agholor, LB Nigel Bradham, LB Kamu Grugier-Hill Cause for concern: Once one of the league’s best, the offensive line is showing cracks. Pro Bowl guard Brandon Brooks (Achilles) is out for the year, and the contingency plan — veteran left tackle Jason Peters re-signed to switch to right guard — is risky. Peters’ replacement, Andre Dillard, was shaky as a first-round rookie last season, and center Jason Kelce will turn 33 in November. Position battle worth watching: After scraping the bottom of the barrel last season, the Eagles have options at wideout, but Alshon Jeffery’s health (foot) leaves a few roles up for grabs. First-round rookie Jalen Reagor should start, but he fits best in the slot or as the Z receiver, which is DeSean Jackson’s nominal spot. JJ Arcega-Whiteside is built to play the X but underwhelmed as a rookie. Greg Ward and rookie John Hightower could also factor in. Over-Under win total from PointsBet: 9.5 A decimated roster made it to nine wins a year ago, and the Eagles are clearly improved, so we feel good about the over. That said, Brooks’ injury was a big blow, and several other key players have a history of getting hurt, so it’s not without risk. 2020 forecast: Wentz got much-needed weapons, and the defense added difference makers up front (Hargrave) and on the back end (Slay). If the reconfigured O-line clicks, Wentz could return to a Pro Bowl level and Philadelphia could be a Super Bowl contender. Still, the Eagles’ variance is high, as Wentz and Jackson have worrisome injury histories, and Fletcher Cox showed signs of decline in 2019. New York Giants Projected 2020 record: 6-10 2019 record: 4-12 2019 summary: The Giants benched Eli Manning early in favor of rookie Daniel Jones, who showed bright spots amid a turnover-heavy rookie campaign. New York did win two of its last three, though that likely cost it top college pass-rusher Chase Young, who Washington took No. 2 overall. Key additions: CB James Bradberry, OT Andrew Thomas, LB Blake Martinez, S Xavier McKinney, OLB Kyler Fackrell, OT Cameron Fleming, RB Dion Lewis, OT Matt Peart Noteworthy losses: LT Nate Solder (opt-out), QB Eli Manning, LB Alec Ogletree, RT Mike Remmers, S Antoine Bethea, C Jon Halapio, LB Deone Bucannon, K Aldrick Rosas Cause for concern: The Giants had only one player with more than 4.5 sacks or 13 QB hits (Markus Golden, 10 and 27) in 2019, but they didn’t add much and brought back Golden only after he had few suitors in free agency. They must hope Lorenzo Carter or Oshane Ximines develops, as Fackrell is hardly dynamic off the edge. Position battle worth watching: Solder has been a poor performer and a massive overpay at left tackle, but his opt-out leaves a major hole. Thomas will very likely fill it, but then who steps in at right tackle? The veteran Fleming should have the edge over Peart, an athletic third-round rookie who must get stronger. Over-Under win total from PointsBet: 6.5 Good quarterbacks tend to make a leap in Year 2, so if you’re a believer in Jones, we don’t blame you for taking the over. But we see a few too many concerns on both sides of the ball to have high expectations in Joe Judge’s first season as head coach. 2020 forecast: Judge and his Patriots-influenced staff aren’t under pressure to win early, so Jones’ development should be the top priority. The Giants will hope the QB returns with better ball security and awareness for pressure, but that’s asking a lot behind an unsettled O-line, even if Thomas’ transition is smooth. Jones does have a nice set of weapons, but the defense has significant question marks. Washington Football Team Projected 2020 record: 6-10 2019 record: 3-13 2019 summary: A tire fire from the start, Washington opened 0-5, leading to Jay Gruden’s firing. Rookie QB Dwayne Haskins took longer to acclimate to the NFL than hoped, but he did show flashes before a Week 16 injury ended his season. Key additions: DE Chase Young, DB Kendall Fuller, CB Ronald Darby, LB Thomas Davis, G Wes Schweitzer, OT Cornelius Lucas, S Sean Davis, QB Kyle Allen, RB/WR Antonio Gibson, OT Saahdiq Charles, WR Antonio Gandy Golden Noteworthy losses: LT Trent Williams, TE Jordan Reed, CB Quinton Dunbar, CB Josh Norman, LT Donald Penn, TE Vernon Davis, G Ereck Flowers, WR Paul Richardson, RB Chris Thompson, QB Case Keenum Cause for concern: Haskins made progress as a rookie, but he didn’t get much help, and that doesn’t seem to be changing. There’s no remotely appealing option at left tackle, and Washington didn’t add much of note at either wideout or tight end, apparently counting on development from Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims behind Terry McLaurin. Gibson could be a slot/gadget weapon, but the team plans to start him at running back. Position battle worth watching: With Williams traded and Penn unsigned, the left tackle job is wide open. The veteran Lucas, 2018 third-rounder Geron Christian and rookie fourth-rounder Charles — a talented but inconsistent prospect who slipped in the draft due to character concerns — are the primary competitors, but signing another veteran might be wise. Over-Under win total from PointsBet: 5.5 New head coach Ron Rivera brings a strong track record from Carolina, but he’s got his work cut out for him as Washington tries to fix issues both on and off the field. There’s certainly a path to seven or eight wins, but another three-win season seems just as likely. We’d pass on this one. 2020 forecast: Young’s arrival could ignite the defense, which is loaded with talent up front and also has an intriguing set of playmakers in the secondary. But can that unit compensate if the offense is dead weight? Haskins flashes high-level processing and arm talent, but unless his slimmer self proves more mobile, he needs protection and weapons to produce. Washington doesn’t have much of either at the moment. –Field Level Media The post Training camp primer: NFC East appeared first on National Football Post.

Fox news Day 2 quick-snap draft grades for all 32 teams - NFL.com

Fox news

I've heard the argument that grading draft picks staunch now after they are made is worthless, however I develop not agree.

Since no person can watch into the long crawl, these 2020 NFL Draft immediate-snap grades handiest partly factor in how I request a participant's profession to progress. These grades are, on the opposite hand, an analysis of the route of every and every group undertook to deal with the avid gamers they did. The grade is also a designate of whether I roar a prospect's selection is of applicable price given his school movie and athleticism.

The cause these snap grades subject is that they give a staunch-time analysis of the route of. If a prospect is understanding a pair of mountainous snatch the day of the draft, however would not work out in the long crawl, that is a truly moderately quite a lot of analysis of his new group's decision than identifying a participant who used to be realizing a pair of reach at the time he used to be picked. Ready three years to grade these picks leads to revisionist historical past, not an steady analysis of a call that used to be in retaining with what used to be known when the participant used to be chosen.

NOTE: These grades had been submitted staunch now after the draft. As my analysis continues over the weekend, the grades will most likely be adjusted.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Houston OT Josh Jones (No. 72 overall) Day 2 grade and analysis: A+ First, the Cardinals gave up their 2d-spherical snatch in the bogus for DeAndre Hopkins. I develop not if truth be told dangle to repeat you that used to be a take for them, attain I? Arizona bought a uncover of a factual kind out in the third spherical. Jones is competitive and highly effective. He's not going to grief any run rusher.

Day 1 grade: B Day 2 picks: Auburn DT Marlon Davidson (No. 47 overall); Temple C Matt Hennessy (No. 78) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Atlanta stumbled on a fiery three-methodology in Davidson. He in total performed outside for Auburn, however he has of venture to be a pleasant penetrator inner for the Falcons, complementing Grady Jarrett. Hennessy used to be a pleasant price for the Falcons. Alex Mack won't be spherical forever, and the Temple-tough lineman need to aloof be ready to step in every time the group wants him.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Ohio Declare RB J.K. Dobbins (No. 55 overall); Texas A&M DT Justin Madubuike (No. 71); Texas WR Devin Duvernay (No. 92); Ohio Declare LB Malik Harrison (No. 98); Mississippi Declare OG Tyre Phillips (No. 106) Day 2 grade and analysis: A The Ravens already had some depth at working again and completely might per chance well dangle mature the 2d-spherical snatch they bought in the Hayden Hurst substitute with Atlanta in different places, as a change of spending it on Dobbins. Heed Ingram is 30 years stale, though. Dobbins' skill to matriculate the ball down the field with highly effective, low-heart-of-gravity working will match moderately neatly in Baltimore's crawl-heavy machine. He might per chance moreover rob continuously to supply Lamar Jackson a pleasant security valve. Madubuike is a quality defensive lineman, giving the group extra bulk inner along with Brandon Williams, Daylon Mack, and so forth. Duvernay is a appropriate slot receiver who can play the Willie Snead role in time, complementing Hollywood Brown and Miles Boykin. Baltimore stumbled on one other price snatch at linebacker in the athletic Harrison after shoring up that position on Thursday evening with first-rounder Patrick Queen. Phillips is a huge human who performed kind out at Mississippi Declare however initiatives as a highly effective guard for the Ravens. He confirmed nice price inner at the Senior Bowl, and I believe he'los angeles final be a appropriate starter.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Iowa DE A.J. Epenesa (No. 54 overall); Utah RB Zack Moss (No. 86) Day 2 grade and analysis: A The Bills traded their first-spherical snatch to Minnesota in the deal for receiver Stefon Diggs, so it used to be not a shock that they mature their 2d-spherical snatch on a defender. Epenesa's consistency has been questioned by scouts, which helps account for why he used to be not a first-spherical snatch despite some very excellent games. He'll be a real, if not spectacular, sturdy-aspect cease -- a discipline where they significant some depth. Moss might per chance be the flexibility again the Bills dangle to head with "Motor" Singletary.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Penn Declare DE Yetur Putrid-Matos (No. 38 overall); Southern Illinois S Jeremy Chinn (No. 64) Day 2 grade and analysis: A The Panthers significant attend on the threshold across from Brian Burns, and finding Putrid-Matos accessible early in Round 2 used to be a uncover. He has power and length to be a ingredient as a run rusher and against the crawl. Chinn has an all-spherical sport grand of his draft position. He's ready to play in the slot and at security (not unlike used Panthers CB James Bradberry, by the vogue), assembly a sizable need for Carolina.

Day 1 grade: Incomplete Day 2 picks: Notre Dame TE Cole Kmet (No. 43 overall); Utah CB Jaylon Johnson (No. 50) Day 2 grade and analysis: B+ The Bears did not dangle a first-spherical snatch (because of the Khalil Mack substitute), however they stumbled on a pleasant expertise accessible in Cole Kmet. He can crawl neatly for his size and is willing to drag defenders for a couple of yards. I roar he used to be undervalued in this draft. Alternatively, it used to be attention-grabbing to examine them snatch a tight cease after signing Jimmy Graham as a free agent and the employ of a 2d-spherical snatch on the position a couple of years previously (Adam Shaheen). Johnson used to be a extremely appropriate price snatch as a physical outside corner. He performed injure in 2019, however used to be aloof highly competitive.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Clemson WR Tee Higgins (No. 33 overall); Wyoming LB Logan Wilson (No. 65) Day 2 grade and analysis: A I used to be joyful to examine that a disappointing pro-day workout did not trigger Higgins to descend too far. His sturdy hands and physique withhold an eye on give him a staunch shot to be an spectacular downfield playmaker for Joe Burrow. Wilson is an athletic, tough participant who can develop plays in protection and against the crawl. Two real picks for a group having a watch to become a contender in the AFC.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: LSU S Grant Delpit (No. 44 overall); Missouri DT Jordan Elliott (No. 88); LSU LB Jacob Phillips (No. 97) Day 2 grade and analysis: A The Browns picked up a fifth-spherical snatch (No. 160) from the Colts by trading down early in the 2d spherical -- and they aloof had been ready to land a security to attend their protection. Delpit's tackling components positively price him in the draft, however if he shores that up, he'll provide appropriate price because he can develop plays on the ball and be a leader on protection. The Browns persevered to manufacture their defensive entrance by deciding on Elliott, who will also be a staunch anxiousness for opposing linemen when on his sport. He'll push for having fun with time at the again of Larry Ogunjobi, and might per chance well create staunch into a starter down the street. Cleveland spent the snatch it bought from Houston in the Duke Johnson substitute on Phillips, who met the group's expansive need for a downhill inner linebacker.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Alabama CB Trevon Diggs (No. 51 overall); Oklahoma DT Neville Gallimore (No. 82) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Dallas significant to change Byron Jones, and Diggs is a battler on the outside who isn't very going to run into reverse from any NFL receiver. Gallimore provides younger depth on the line of defense. He can work his blueprint past the shoulders of guards in sub packages while used free-agent signees Gerald McCoy and Dontari Poe attain the heavy lifting against the crawl in 2020.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Penn Declare WR KJ Hamler (No. 46 overall); Iowa CB Michael Ojemudia (No. 77); LSU C Lloyd Cushenberry (No. 83); Arkansas DT McTelvin Agim (No. 95) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Adding Hamler and first-spherical snatch Jerry Jeudy to the Broncos' offense will develop quarterback Drew Lock extremely chuffed. Ojemudia helped himself in the postseason with his sturdy performance. The sturdy tackler represents a real snatch who fills a need. Cushenberry will be a highly effective pivot for the Broncos for several years; they couldn't dangle asked for far extra price at a position of need. A range picked up from the 49ers for receiver Emmanuel Sanders final descend grew to become into Agim, who will step staunch into a line of defense that significant extra athleticism and depth.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Georgia RB D'Andre Swift (No. 35 overall); Notre Dame LB Julian Okwara (No. 67); Ohio Declare OG Jonah Jackson (No. 75) Day 2 grade and analysis: A- I assumed the Lions might per chance very neatly be attempting for defensive attend early in Round 2, however they chosen Swift. It is tough to fault them for deciding on the working again, though, given his explosiveness. Kerryon Johnson has also struggled with injuries in his first two years. Finding Okwara in the third spherical used to be an fabulous price. I factor in he would were a first-spherical snatch if not for the damaged fibula he suffered final season. Julian and his brother, Romeo -- a fifth-year defensive cease for the Lions -- will be an spectacular combination on the outside. Jackson is an spectacular snatch in the third spherical because he is sturdy, durable, tough and can play extra than one positions up entrance.

Day 1 grade: A- Day 2 picks: Boston Faculty RB AJ Dillon (No. 63 overall); Cincinnati TE Josiah Deguara (No. 94) Day 2 grade and analysis: D Why is the grade so low? Properly, these picks did not tackle the group's wants at receiver, linebacker, cornerback and offensive kind out. Dillon's an spectacular again who might per chance well beat defenses into submission. Head coach Matt LaFleur, the used Titans OC, might per chance well request him as his Derrick Henry in the Packers' offense, with his long strides and power complementing Aaron Jones. The play-circulate sport the Titans ran this past season made Ryan Tannehill watch appropriate -- what is going to it attain for Aaron Rodgers? Deguara has staunch doable as an H-again form, though the inconsistent hands he confirmed as a senior need to aloof be shored as much as be grand of this snatch. Both Dillon and Deguara went earlier than I expected, so I query the price. However if Dillon turns into the form of participant Henry did, and Deguara is a Delanie Walker-form versatile probability, then my grade will be confirmed substandard and everyone in Inexperienced Bay will be chuffed.

Day 1 grade: B Day 2 picks: TCU DT Ross Blacklock (No. 40 overall); Florida LB Jonathan Greenard (No. 90) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Blacklock is a pleasant price for the Texans because he can play inner or outside. He regarded esteem a first-spherical snatch in quite a lot of games, so Houston must be joyful that it might per chance per chance well real him in the 2d. Greenard is a supreme edge rusher snatch in the third spherical for the Texans. Whereas not elite in anybody explicit class, he continuously will get upfield and isn't very pushed spherical in the crawl sport. That snatch met a sizable need for opponents on the outside.

Day 1 grade: B Day 2 picks: USC WR Michael Pittman (No. 34 overall); Wisconsin RB Jonathan Taylor (No. 41 overall); Utah S Julian Blackmon (No. 85) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Pittman is an spectacular outside receiver who can develop plays reverse T.Y. Hilton. There had been moderately quite a lot of sizable, sturdy receivers accessible at No. 34, though, esteem Denzel Mims and Poke Claypool, who each and every went later in Round 2. We will watch if the Colts made the factual desire. They then gave up a fifth-spherical selection to change up for Taylor, an all-spherical expertise at working again. He's a good deal improved as a receiver, complementing his sturdiness and power as a runner. If he improves his ball security, as neatly -- watch out! Indianapolis significant a security and took of venture that Blackmon will jump again from the torn ACL he suffered final season to become a ballhawking heart-fielder form -- or maybe even play some outside corner, as he did earlier in his profession at Utah.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Colorado WR Laviska Shenault (No. 42 overall); Ohio Declare DT DaVon Hamilton (No. 73) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Going into the draft, I wondered if the Jaguars had been pleased with their receiver depth. It looks they weren't. Shenault is a pressure with the ball in his hands, and need to aloof flip loads of Gardner Minshew's immediate throws into long beneficial properties. Can also they dangle got addressed a extra pressing need with the 42nd snatch? Maybe. However in terms of price, or not it's a moderately appropriate selection. Hamilton addresses their need for line of defense attend, as he used to be advanced to transfer off the ball as a senior and regarded explosive against appropriate opponents at the Senior Bowl.

Day 1 grade: A- Day 2 picks: Mississippi Declare LB Willie Joyful (No. 63 overall); TCU OT Lucas Niang (No. 96) Day 2 grade and analysis: B If Joyful has matured sufficiently to take again of his athletic talents, the Chiefs will worship his sport in the heart of the protection. He's a pronounce-or-bust prospect who might per chance well cowl a pleasant accumulate, not unlike used third-rounder Justin Houston again in the day. If Niang did not dangle his final collegiate season sever immediate because of ruin, I roar his power and nastiness would dangle pushed him not decrease than into the gradual 2d spherical. The Chiefs did not snatch a cornerback, though, which is a venture given their lack of depth at the position.

Day 1 grade: C- Day 2 picks: Kentucky RB Lynn Bowden (No. 80 overall); South Carolina WR Bryan Edwards (No. 81); Clemson LB Tanner Muse (No. 100) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Bowden is an all-spherical probability who has loads of doable as a working again/receiver "Joker" for head coach Jon Gruden. He'll give Josh Jacobs some leisure from the backfield or rob immediate passes from Derek Carr. Edwards has if truth be told nice after-the-rob skill and suits as an very excellent price in the third spherical. He's going to also be a Keenan Allen-form snatch-up for the Raiders. Muse need to aloof be a extremely appropriate particular teams participant and backup linebacker and/or security for Las Vegas.

Day 1 grade: A- Day 2 picks: Florida Declare RB Cam Akers (No. 52 overall); Florida WR Van Jefferson (No. 57); Alabama LB Terrell Lewis (No. 84); Utah S Terrell Burgess (No. 104) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Releasing Todd Gurley spread out a slot at working again and the Rams chosen Akers to take it. Combining final year's third-spherical snatch, Darrell Henderson, and Akers in the backfield need to aloof give Jared Goff a pleasant pair of backs. Jefferson provides Goff some grand-significant depth at the receiver position, as neatly. They mature the need they got from the Texans for Brandin Cooks to deal with the used Gator. It'd be attention-grabbing to examine how Jefferson's profession compares with that of fellow receiver Denzel Mims, who went two picks later. Finding a run rusher esteem Terrell Lewis in Round 3 used to be a staunch plus, even with his historical past of injuries. The Rams stumbled on a nickel again/security in Burgess later in the third spherical. Focused on his protection skill, he used to be grand of being picked grand earlier in the draft. He used to be an absolute uncover.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Louisiana OT Robert Hunt (No. 39 overall); Alabama DT Raekwon Davis (No. 56); Texas S Brandon Jones (No. 70) Day 2 grade and analysis: B Hunt is a real factual kind out who used to be picked grand earlier than many expected. Alternatively, he completely has the harmful perspective and power to be a long-time starter. Davis did not provide grand manufacturing for the Tide final year, however he is a highly effective participant between the tackles. He used to be a runt bit decrease on my board than Miami's, it looks. Jones meets a significant need for the Dolphins, as their depth at security used to be severely missing. He wasn't ready to work out at the NFL Scouting Combine on story of a shoulder ruin, which might per chance well need injure him a runt bit, however he gifts sufficient athleticism, intelligence and toughness to be a long-time starter.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Boise Declare OT Ezra Cleveland (No. 58 overall); Mississippi Declare CB Cameron Dantzler (No. 89) Day 2 grade and analysis: A- Ezra Cleveland used to be a appropriate selection at the head of the 2d spherical as a doable starter. His consistency in methodology and aggressiveness on movie used to be missing, however the athleticism used to be evident. He's a same participant to Vikings OT Brian O'Neill, a 2d-spherical snatch in 2018. Dantzler is a physical participant with the length to be effective outside. He'll dangle to win stronger in his decrease physique, though, and has to cowl he has the recovery glide to be a starter. The Vikings now dangle 13 picks on Saturday. If they develop not package a couple of of them to change up, they won't dangle to develop many calls at free of fee agents after the draft.

Day 1 grade: Incomplete Day 2 picks: Lenoir-Rhyne S Kyle Dugger (No. 37 overall); Michigan LB Josh Uche (No. 60); Alabama LB Anfernee Jennings (No. 87); UCLA TE Devin Asiasi (No. 91); Virginia Tech TE Dalton Keene (No. 101) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Kyle Dugger is a flexible performer who will work in the field for the Patriots. He's difficult and immediate to the ball. Belichick stumbled on a run rusher in a substitute-up for Uche, an athletic edge rusher who helped meet one of the most group's predominant wants. He joins his used teammate in Ann Arbor, Poke Winovich, on the Patriots. Jennings can play reverse Uche and Winovich, offering a pleasant one-two punch on the outside. New England traded up for Asiasi to meet a sizable tight cease need; he is an athletic guy who used to be underutilized in the Bruins' offense. He won't be overlooked with the Patriots. They moved up again to snatch Keene. The athleticism he confirmed at the mix likely bumped him up a spherical or two in this draft. He's a pleasant blocker/receiver-form whom Belichick will employ in quite a lot of how. It sounds as if the Patriots determined it used to be time to tackle that position, as they had been willing to allotment with picks to win their guys.

Day 1 grade: A- Day 2 picks: Wisconsin LB Zack Baun (No. 74 overall); Dayton TE Adam Trautman (No. 105) Day 2 grade and analysis: A- The Saints required attend in the 2d level of their protection and thus traded up in Round 3 to snatch Baun, a high-50 expertise. He might per chance well need fallen because of a diluted drug test at the mix and the truth that he is aloof rising into his physique. Giving up a 2021 third-spherical snatch to transfer up 14 spots for Baun will be price monitoring down the line. New Orleans made one other predominant transfer gradual in the third, trading their fourth- (No. 130), fifth- (No. 169), sixth- (No. 203) and seventh-spherical (No. 244) picks to the Vikings for the factual to take Adam Trautman, an very excellent receiving tight cease who also offers mountainous effort as a blocker. The Saints went all-in on this snatch, giving Drew Brees a extremely grand target over the next couple of years. The deal mature up the remainder of New Orleans' draft capital, however the group's depth chart is so sturdy that its gradual-spherical picks would've been as likely as undrafted rookie free agents to develop the final roster.

Day 1 grade: B Day 2 picks: Alabama S Xavier McKinney (No. 36 overall); Connecticut OT Matt Peart (No. 99) Day 2 grade and analysis: A- Julian Like looked in line to take over a starting up security discipline subsequent season, however that looks much less likely with McKinney on board. I wondered if teams would request the Alabama product extra esteem Ha-Ha Clinton-Dix or Ronnie Harrison -- two moderately quite a lot of outstanding 'Bama DBs to develop it to the NFL. It sounds as if, or not it's miles the used, with McKinney coming off the board early on Friday. The Giants if truth be told mature their long-established third-spherical snatch on Leonard Williams, whom they bought from the Jets final season, and managed to real some nice offensive line depth in Peart, who can become a helpful swing kind out at the again of Nate Solder and Andrew Thomas. The Giants need to aloof accumulate an edge rusher with their fourth-spherical snatch (No. 110 overall).

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Baylor WR Denzel Mims (No. 59 overall); Cal S Ashtyn Davis (No. 68); Florida DE Jabari Zuniga (No. 79) Day 2 grade and analysis: A The Jets passed on a receiver in the first spherical however stumbled on a terribly appropriate price in the 2d. Mims has the glide/size combination (6-foot-3, 207 kilos; 4.38 40) to become a pressure on the outside that will develop up for the free company departure of Robby Anderson. Davis is an very excellent athlete who will duvet a ton of ground for the Jets in the secondary. He might per chance well play nickel again to boot to security however will dangle to cowl he is physical sufficient to tackle proo receivers. The Jets stumbled on the real mid-spherical edge prospect they significant in Zuniga, who has the bend and power to be not decrease than a real scuttle specialist for the following couple of years.

Day 1 grade: B Day 2 picks: Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts (No. 53 overall); Colorado LB Davion Taylor (No. 103) Day 2 grade and analysis: A- I worship Hurts as a competitor; he'll be a plus in any locker room. Carson Wentz has overlooked some time over his first four seasons, so getting Hurts as an insurance protection protection isn't very a boring notion. Eagles coach Doug Pederson can attend Hurts reach his doable as a pure passer, proving this to be an very wide array down the line. If Pederson desires to make employ of Hurts in a Taysom Hill-form role in the meantime, he can attain that, too. Taylor used to be an straightforward snatch for the Eagles to develop in Round 3, as he is a linebacker ready to duvet loads of ground and then explode into tackles. They'll be ready to win a working again, security and inner offensive lineman later in the draft.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Notre Dame WR Poke Claypool (No. 49 overall); UNC-Charlotte LB Alex Highsmith (No. 102) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Claypool is the develop of physical pressure on the outside that the Steelers haven't had for some time. He might per chance well play a stand-up tight cease role inner, as neatly. Adding him to used 2d-rounders JuJu Smith-Schuster (2017) and James Washington (2018) will develop the Steelers' offense as harmful as Ben Roethlisberger's beard. Pittsburgh stumbled on its mid-spherical edge rusher in Highsmith, who's ready to beat his man off the line and crawl down quarterbacks with aplomb. I used to be a runt bit stunned he used to be aloof on the board when Pittsburgh picked in the third spherical.

Day 1 grade: B Day 2 picks: Tennessee DE Darrell Taylor (No. 48 overall); LSU OG Damien Lewis (No. 69) Day 2 grade and analysis: B+ The Seahawks persevered to toughen their protection by deciding on a long, sturdy run rusher in Taylor. That win-off and toughness is what Pete Carroll wants on the threshold. We will watch in time if giving up a Third-spherical snatch to transfer up 11 slots for Taylor, as a change of waiting a runt bit longer or deciding on Terrell Lewis or one other edge participant, used to be a runt bit too rich. Damien Lewis is extremely effective and has better foot quickness than he is given credit for. He addresses a sizable need for the Seahawks.

Day 1 grade: A Day 2 picks: Minnesota S Antoine Winfield (No. 45 overall); Vanderbilt RB Ke'Shawn Vaughn (No. 76) Day 2 grade and analysis: B Winfield's playmaking talents overcame his lack of size (5-9) and any moderately quite a lot of fears teams might per chance honest dangle had about him. Bucs fans will bask in his skill for years yet to win again. Vaughn is a real again who used to be doubtlessly picked a runt bit of too early. He need to aloof be an spectacular four-year contributor though, because his versatile skill position will enable him to dangle an affect on extra than one aspects of the offense. The Vandy neatly-known person, or one other again with same talents, might per chance honest were accessible later; the group might per chance well need benefited extra from prioritizing a run rusher in the third spherical.

Day 1 grade: B- Day 2 picks: LSU CB Kristian Fulton (No. 61 overall); Appalachian Declare RB Darrynton Evans (No. 93) Day 2 grade and analysis: A Getting a starting up cornerback in Fulton at No. 61 overall used to be a steady price snatch -- a first-spherical expertise taken gradual in Round 2 who addresses a predominant position of need. Evans will complement Derrick Henry with pure glide in the crawl sport and used to be picked roughly where I expected. You might per chance well not attend however esteem what Tennessee came away with on Friday evening.

Day 1 grade: A- Day 2 picks: Memphis RB Antonio Gibson (No. 66 overall) Day 2 grade and analysis: B+ It'd be attention-grabbing to examine how Washington makes employ of Gibson in its offense. Ron Rivera doubtlessly sees some Curtis Samuel (who Rivera picked in the 2d spherical while in Carolina) in Gibson's sport: versatile, sturdy and rapid. Or maybe used Panthers offensive coordinator Scott Turner will employ him a runt bit esteem he did Christian McCaffrey? Gibson's most efficient position match will most likely be purely as a working again, though, a power participant to take over from Adrian Peterson down the street. There might per chance be continuously a query about whether avid gamers esteem Gibson need to aloof be illustrious for his or her versatility or seen skeptically because they lack a company position. Washington did not dangle a 2d-spherical snatch on story of their 2019 draft-day substitute for first-spherical snatch Montez Sweat. Whereas Sweat will also be a appropriate participant, it's miles not yet sure whether that transfer used to be price the price.

6 winners and 5 losers from Day 2 of the NFL Draft

AJ Epenesa, Jonathan Taylor, and Xavier McKinney were all Day 2 picks in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Ravens’ running game got better, Carson Wentz is on notice, and Roger Goodell needs a nap.

Day 2 of the 2020 NFL Draft is over, and 74 more college stars saw their pro dreams come true. Players coming from programs ranging from LSU and Ohio State to Lenoir-Rhyne and Dayton heard NFL commissioner Roger Goodell call their names to shove them off on their NFL journeys.

The ripples of Friday night’s decisions won’t be fully understood for at least a decade as early-round picks fizzle and overlooked prospects rise to the top of the NFL. Even so, we can gather a pretty good idea of which players, teams, and college programs are celebrating a little bit harder than others as the draft nears its halfway point.

So who looks best after a quick glance in the rear view mirror? And which teams may need to stick their landing on Day 3?

Winner: Every team that got a first-round talent on Day 2

On Thursday night, 32 elite football players were welcomed into the NFL fraternity. But the amount of sheer talent that was still waiting to be drafted was incredible:

One personnel director calls this “the deepest second round in the last 25 years.” He believes there are 20 players available tonight that could have been first-round picks; there usually are 7-10. “There will be as many starters in this round that there are in the first round.”

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 24, 2020

So many names who were expected to be drafted in the first round — and might have been in any other year — remained on the board. Safety Xavier McKinney was a popular mock draft pick for the Cowboys or Dolphins. So was cornerback Kristian Fulton to the Raiders, edge A.J. Epenesa to the Patriots, cornerback Jaylon Johnson to the Vikings, OT Josh Jones to the Dolphins, and WR Denzel Mims to the Packers, among others.

Other players who could’ve sneaked into Round 1 included safety Antoine Winfield Jr, OT Ezra Cleveland, and even running backs D’Andre Swift, Jonathan Taylor or J.K. Dobbins. (Please, no debates about the value of a first-round running back right now.)

All of those players were available heading into Day 2. Teams like the Colts (Taylor, Michael Pittman Jr.), Cowboys (Trevon Diggs, Neville Gallimore), Giants (McKinney), Bills (Epenesa), Jets (Mims), and Cardinals (Jones) were the ones to benefit most.

Winner: The scary as hell Ravens running game

No team had more rushing yards than the Ravens in 2019.

Lamar Jackson earned MVP honors by becoming the first NFL quarterback to ever eclipse 1,200 rushing yards. He was joined in the Baltimore backfield by Mark Ingram, who racked up 1,018 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. Oh, and don’t forget about Gus Edwards, who averaged 5.3 yards per carry.

That unstoppable ground game somehow got even better Friday when the Ravens added J.K. Dobbins with the 55th pick.

Dobbins rushed for at least 1,000 yards in all three of his seasons at Ohio State. In 2019, he became the first Buckeyes running back ever to have a 2,000-yard season. That’s something Eddie George, Ezekiel Elliott, Archie Griffin, and many other great running backs didn’t accomplish.

Baltimore definitely didn’t need Dobbins’ help. Unfortunately for the entire AFC, he’ll make the Ravens — who are putting together an excellent draft — even harder to stop.

Loser: Carson Wentz

Aaron Rodgers landed on our list of Day 1 losers because the Packers drafted Utah State quarterback Jordan Love. But at least that pick made some sense. Yes, Green Bay could’ve provided Rodgers with the help he needs to win a Super Bowl, but he’s 36 and the Packers need to consider life after his retirement.

That logic can’t be applied to the Eagles’ pick, though.

Wentz is 27 and has five seasons left on his contract. It’s hard to figure out what exactly the team was thinking when it drafted Jalen Hurts in the middle of the second round. While Philadelphia knows all about the benefits of a quality backup quarterback, there were plenty of better ways to improve the roster.

Instead, there’s legitimate reason to question Wentz’s future with the franchise. A team doesn’t draft someone in the second round unless it foresees that player being a long-term fixture.

Winner: Drew Lock

The Broncos’ 2019 second-round pick gave them a lot of reason to be optimistic last year. Lock finished his rookie season 4-1 as a starter with seven touchdowns and three interceptions.

On Thursday, Denver gave him some help by picking Alabama receiver Jerry Jeudy with the No. 15 pick. Unsurprisingly, Lock was happy about it:

— Drew Lock (@DrewLock23) April 24, 2020

The Broncos didn’t stop there, though. In the second round, they Penn State receiver KJ Hamler with the 46th pick. Lock was excited about that too:

— Drew Lock (@DrewLock23) April 25, 2020

Suddenly, Lock has a quite the arsenal. Jeudy and Hamler are joining an offense that already had receiver Courtland Sutton and 2019 first-round tight end Noah Fant. Adding center Lloyd Cushenberry in the third round was just the icing on the cake.

Winner: Good dogs

A fully virtual NFL Draft promised us one very important thing: a lot of good dogs on TV. But the first day was a little bit disappointing. While Giants coach Joe Judge talked about how well-versed his golden retriever Abby is about the 2020 class, she didn’t make a single appearance.

Fortunately, there was a much larger dog presence in Day 2. Bill Belichick even turned into one:

No wonder the Patriots dominated the last two decades.

Loser: Tom Brady

Thursday was a great day for Touchdown Tom, with the Buccaneers moving up one spot in the draft order to secure Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs. It’s a good thing they did, because the rest of the NFC South spent Friday loading up on players to take Brady down.

First, the Panthers took Penn State edge rusher Yetur Gross-Matos with the 38th pick. He made it clear what his immediate NFL goal is for the 2020 season.

Yetur Gross-Matos: I want to sack Tom Brady.

— Jourdan Rodrigue (@JourdanRodrigue) April 25, 2020

The Atlanta Falcons were next when they picked Auburn pass rusher Marlon Davidson at 47th overall. The All-SEC defensive lineman will likely line up at defensive tackle in Dan Quinn’s defense, which added Dante Fowler Jr. earlier in the offseason.

New Orleans got in on the pass rush party too. After not picking in the second round, the Saints traded away a 2021 third-round pick to move up and take Wisconsin edge rusher Zack Baun at 74th overall.

Brady got some help of his own in Day 2. The Buccaneers added running back Ke’Shawn Vaughn in the third round (and safety Antoine Winfield Jr. in the second round, which probably only reminded Brady of how old he is). But that didn’t do much to change the fact that he’s clearly in the crosshairs of the other NFC South teams.

Loser: Aaron Rodgers, again

Rodgers didn’t get his first-round wideout. That wasn’t necessarily a bad thing; borderline Day 1 talents like Tee Higgins, Laviska Shenault, Denzel Mims, and Michael Pittman Jr. were all on the board to begin Day 2. With a little luck or another trade up the draft board — like the club did to select Rodgers’ possible replacement, Jordan Love — one of those players would be the next big addition to the Packers’ receiving corps.

Green Bay got none of those players. It got a Boston College power back with 21 collegiate receptions to his name (AJ Dillon) and a third-round tight end out of Cincinnati who had 92 catches and 1,117 receiving yards ... in four years with the Bearcats (Josiah Deguara). Instead of getting an immediate boost to his passing game, Rodgers got a couple of lottery tickets who may not make his offense any better.

Winner: Matt Hennessy

The former Temple offensive lineman didn’t just get drafted with the 14th pick in the third round Friday night by the Falcons. As the 3.14 pick, he also won a shit load of pizza.

As the 78th pick, Matt Hennessy gets free @pizzahut for a year. As the 2020 Pizza Hut Pi Pick

— vaughn mcclure (@vxmcclure23) April 25, 2020

That’s an award that should only go to offensive linemen. Congrats on the pizza, Matt.

Loser: Roger Goodell’s gas tank

The commissioner’s doing more work than usual during the draft. In a typical year, Goodell would only announce the first-round picks. The other rounds have recently been handled by trash-talking NFL alumni (who could forget Drew Pearson roasting Philadelphia?), animals, and league representatives other than Goodell reading the picks.

But this year Goodell has to read off all the selections and it seems to be wearing him out. Just look at him by the time the back half of the third round rolled around.

Roger Goodell is exhausted pic.twitter.com/TYHRjV5F8A

— SB Nation (@SBNation) April 25, 2020

There’s another 149 draft picks coming Saturday. Is Goodell going to make it?

Loser: QB Jake Fromm

Fromm had to go through the first two nights of the draft without hearing his name called. What’s even worse is that there was a camera in his living room that captured him having to wait in agony:

We still don’t understand why Fromm declared for the NFL Draft this year. He had three OK seasons in Athens, but he was also coming off his least efficient year and failed to impress at the NFL Combine.

If he had returned in 2020, his team could’ve still won the SEC East division and he would’ve gotten a chance to his boost his NFL resume with a bounce-back year. Sure, maybe he didn’t want to come out in 2021, the same year as Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence and Ohio State’s Justin Fields (aka Fromm’s former backup). But he’s already seen five quarterbacks go ahead of him this year. Who knows how much longer he’ll be waiting alongside his generically handsome family.

Winner: Tight ends

There were six tight ends taken in the first rounds of the last three drafts. That streak ended this year, when zero tight ends went off the board on the first night of the draft. It wasn’t a shock, by any stretch. But it confirmed what many already thought about the positional group: It’s the weakest of the draft class.

The second night of the draft was another story. Now, as many tight ends (five) as quarterbacks have been selected through two nights of the draft.

Tight ends started making their comeback one-third of the way through the second round, when the Bears took Notre Dame’s Cole Kmet with the No. 43 overall pick. (Did the Bears need a tight end? Probably not.)

The third round is where things really started to pick up, though. Four different tight ends heard their name called by an increasingly sleepy Goodell: UCLA’s Devin Asiasi, Cincinnati’s Josiah Deguara, Virginia Tech’s Dalton Keene, and Dayton’s (yes, Dayton!) Adam Trautman.

Two of them, Asiasi and Keene, have been the Patriots’ only two offensive draftees so far. Belichick might not be done, either, with players like the highly athletic Albert Okwuegbunam and “Randy Moss is my dad” Thaddeus Moss still available on Day 3.

ATLANTA (June 17, 2021) – Top contender Erickson “Hammer” Lubin and former unified champion Jeison Rosario, plus former unified champion Julian “J-Rock” Williams and Brian Mendoza previewed their respective showdowns during a virtual press conference Thursday before they enter the ring on the Gervonta Davis vs. Mario Barrios SHOWTIME PPV undercard Saturday, June 26 from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions. Lubin and Rosario will meet in a WBC Super Welterweight Title Eliminator in the co-main event, while Williams and Mendoza square off for a 10-round super welterweight showdown on the pay-per-view telecast. The telecast also features hard-hitting Olympian Batyr Akhmedov stepping in against former world champion Argenis Mendez in the opening bout at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT. Tickets for the live event at State Farm Arena, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com. Here is what the press conference participants had to say Thursday: ERICKSON LUBIN “This has been the best camp of my life. I know it sounds cliché, but it really has been. I’ve been in the gym since my last fight. I made a few mistakes in that fight, but Kevin Cunningham and I have been at it since last year and we’re coming to make a statement. “This is a stacked card and we’re excited to be a part of it. I’m ready to show everyone that I’m the best fighter in this division. “This is going to be a fan-friendly fight. I can mix it up, box or bang. Rosario always comes forward. The fans are going to love it. I’m not the fighter who tries to find an easy way out. I’m looking to make a statement. “I think that I’m a totally different fighter than when I trained with his coach, Herman Caicedo. Me and Kevin have worked on a lot of things that regular southpaws don’t have. I’m coming in with a game plan that’s like a jigsaw puzzle. I think this is the wrong fight for Rosario to take coming off a knockout loss. “This fight comes down to who wants it more and who prepared better. I have power too. He’s got to have the skills and have his mind there. I know I’m ready mentally. I can’t wait to fight. “I gained a lot of experience fighting Nathaniel Gallimore and Terrell Gausha. Those are top contenders. I don’t want any tune-up fights, that’s why I took this fight against Rosario. I gained a lot of confidence and everything is clicking for me right now. “When I become world champion, I want to be able to say that I’ve beat all the top guys in the division. That’s just how I am. I’m a competitor. Make sure you tune-in on June 26. “It doesn’t matter if I knock Rosario out or if I don’t. My job is to look good and come out victorious. I’m going to go in there and show the world that I can make anyone in this division look bad.” JEISON ROSARIO “I feel very healthy and very strong. It’s been a great camp so far and probably one of the best camps I’ve had in my career. I’m already at the weight and I am ready to go. The Jermell Charlo fight is the past. That’s over with. This is a new camp and I feel very strong. We’re moving forward. “I changed trainers just because I was looking for a change. Not necessarily because I lost, but because it was just the right timing. Unfortunately, it came with a loss, but that was not the reason for the change. We’ve known each other for some time. I know Herman Caicedo’s style. It’s no nonsense. No excuses. It’s all or nothing and that’s what I wanted moving forward. “First and foremost, I have the power to knockout Lubin and anybody in the 154-pound division. The camp that I’ve had, and the little tidbits of southpaw knowledge that I’ve picked up on, make me confident that I can knock Lubin out. “What happened in the Charlo fight was the fluke. Me winning the titles was not the fluke. I’m going to show everybody that I will bounce back from that loss and win my next fight. I have no problem taking this fight. It’s not a mistake at all. This is what we do. We fight. I’m very excited for June 26 and I expect Lubin to bring his best. “I actually watched the Charlo fight for the first time last night. Obviously, I learned from my mistake and worked to correct it in this camp. I’m looking forward to showing what I’ve learned from that defeat on June 26. “At 154 pounds, I can knock anybody out. I have seen some of Lubin’s fights just as a fan and he is a great fighter. It’s not easy to land shots on him or land a home run shot. So that’s not the game plan. Obviously, there is a game plan and if I do land on him, I feel that I can knock him out. But I won’t just go in there trying to land a shot on the chin. “I’m the type to take advantage of an opportunity when it presents itself. This is another opportunity to get right back in the picture and fight for a title, so you have to take this. Not everybody would. Erickson did and I’m cut from the same cloth. It’s the opportunity and the pride of fighting the best.” JULIAN WILLIAMS “Camp is going really well. I’ve been out in Las Vegas with SugarHill Steward grinding and putting in the work. The fans can expect an explosive performance and a victory for myself on June 26. “I just have to be myself on June 26. I think I’m more skilled than anyone else in the division and I plan on proving that again against Brian Mendoza. “I’ve known who Brian Mendoza is. I expect him to get beat. He’s a decent fighter, but victory is the only thing on my mind. “I don’t want to talk about what happened before the Rosario fight because it’s in the past. I don’t want to make any excuses. It wasn’t that I didn’t focus or train hard. Right now, I’ve had a great camp and I’m prepared to win. “With me, you’re always going to see a hungry and focused fighter in the ring. I don’t know if I’ll look much different. I think with a new coach it takes some time for the changes to start setting in. “I went through a four-week training camp before my fight in December was cancelled because I got COVID-19. It was almost a full camp and it definitely kept me motivated going into this next training camp for this fight. “I’m the best fighter in the division. I just lost, that’s all. LeBron James and Michael Jordan had bad nights, I can have a bad night too. I’m still the best in the division and I’m anxious to get back in the ring.” BRIAN MENDOZA “Training camp has been going great. I’m out here in Las Vegas, too. I’ve just been grinding. This is a very big opportunity for me and I plan to take full advantage of it. Everybody can expect one hundred percent and everything I have in me. “It’s not about looking back at the one blemish on my record and crying about what happened in the past. There’s always a million excuses behind the scenes, but it is what it is. I learned from that loss and you guys have seen the change in my performances since that fight and how I was more comfortable at 154 pounds in my next fight. I feel like this next fight will pull out even more from me. You guys will see another big jump in my skill level on June 26. “I do feel that I have everything to gain in this fight and nothing to lose. I keep telling people on fight night that you’re not going to see somebody that’s just happy to be here and happy to get to this point. I have big goals and this is the perfect fight. So you’re going to see me coming with everything I have and coming for the victory. I have everything to gain. “I feel like I’m catching Julian Williams at the right time because of where I am in my career. It’s about me. This is the right time. I’m 27-years-old and I’ve been a pro for many years now. I just feel like the schooling that I’ve had is really starting to come out and I’m hitting that next level. I’m not worried about what’s going on with Williams. I know he’s still coming with everything he has to prove that he still has it and that he’s still in the mix. “A lot of people get to this point and they get a big fight like this and they think they’ve made it. They get happy just to be here, but you won’t see that at all with me. I’ve always visualized being at the top of this sport and climbing to the very top. I’m taking full advantage of this opportunity and you’re going to see somebody very hungry on June 26.” LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO of Mayweather Promotions “This is a really terrific card from top to bottom. Julian Williams is one of my favorite fighters. He’s a former unified champion who’s going to take on the tough Brian Mendoza. Williams is looking to make a big statement that he’s still a force and that he’s ready to get back in the mix with the other top 154-pounders. “The co-main event could be a main event on its own. With Lubin and Rosario, we’re really excited to see who will emerge from that fight ready to challenge for a world title once again. We can’t wait for June 26.”

A 2 AM Mock Draft

Alex and I did a mock draft! We’re going to try to do a few of these to break up the usual combat sports monotony and shake things up! Alex for those unaware is the soccer and racing guru who pops in here from time to time (the Soundoff was HIS idea, I just maintain the place). He’s in italics with his picks and I’m plain jane. Because of course I am. 

Cincinnati Bengals select QB Joe Burrow, LSU

"and say hello to joe burrow and his heisman. they need a franchise quarterback and he made a ridiculous leap this year in terms of sats and ability. 55 touchdowns and 6 picks will get you the top pick any year."

Washington Redskins select DE Chase Young, Ohio State University If you're drafting top 5, you have a duty and an obligation to draft one of the following four spots; a QB, a DE, an OL or a CB. The Redskins have their QB and so the easiest spot to follow up with is the stud defensive end with Chase Young. He'll combine with the likes of Montez Sweat to give Ron Rivera an immediate pass rushing boost.

Detroit Lions select CB Jeffrey Okudah, Ohio State University "- Hey, hey! I got the Lions. I also get the unfortunate news of declaring that they suck and short of drafting a new GM and organization, they're going to be putrid for years. Darius Slay is a terrific cornerback, but Detroit's secondary couldn't cover a stripper's asscrack. They need an upgrade in the worst way, and they get in when they draft JEFF OKUDAH from Ohio State."

New York Giants select WR Jerry Jeudy, University of Alabama The Giants could certainly use a pass rusher here to cover up their lack of edge help but this needs to be about a young quarterback getting all the weapons possible. Jerry Jeudy is a tremendous big play WR who when put together with a slot ace like Golden Tate, a big TE with Evan Engram and top 5 RB Saquon Barkley creates all of the weaponry possible for a young QB in need of help. The Giants also have a lot of money tied up in their OL which means OT Jedrick Willis isn't a fit here either.

Miami Dolphins select QB Tua #5 - Miami Dolphins "- Lets get interesting now. He's a generational talent, hip injury be damned. In 2019, TUA TAGOVAILOA completed 71 percent of his passes, had almost 3,000 yards and 33 touchdowns to 3 interceptions. He's 6 foot 2 inches tall, has genuine size and presence and is consistently looking downfield. Tua is patient, goes through his progressions, accurate and can make every throw. If he's healthy? He should have been first. Now? He'll sit behind Fitzmagic for a year, heal, learn the system and start for the Dolphins in 2021."

San Diego Chargers select QB Justin Herbert, University of Oregon There's a mountain of DL and OL help available for the Chargers but you're picking 6th overall. You don't finish top 10 with QB play and Rivers is clearly on the back nine of his career. Is Herbert perfect? Far from it. That said you're moving into a new stadium, you're in a division where your two main competitors are embracing young fresh QBs and you have the weapons on offense and defense to be able to help a young QB right away. Get to the dance a year early vs a year late and protect your future with Justin Herbert.

Carolina Panthers select DL Derrick Brown, University of Auburn #7 - Carolina Panthers : Derrick Brown, DE, Auburn "- I'm surprised he lasted this long as he had the talent to go Top 5. 6'3 with a great motor and a tons of upside, he could be used as a DT and be a tremendous great interior disruptor if he continues to develop. He has a little bit of Simeon Rice to him and I love him to the Panthers to help shore up that Defensive Line and add some nastiness to their defense beyond their Linebacker core."

Arizona Cardinals select OT Andrew Thomas, University of Georgia There's going to be a ton of interest in one of these awesome WRs but Kyler Murray needs to be kept upright to prosper even more than he has so far. Thomas gives him a buddy cop left tackle who will help him. Protect your investments.

Jacksonville Jaguars select Isaiah Simmons, S/LB, Clemson "- Look, the Linebacking corps is shot with Telvin Smith deciding not to play football and the ghost of Myles Jack's career roaming the sidelines. They need MAJOR help. Simmons is a sideline to sideline defender who hits hard, covers a lot of ground, can play man coverage and cover a running back out of the backfield. Simmons has even matched up with slot receivers this years. His best fit is going to be as a Will linebacker in the NFL, but he's going to be an asset. Think Minkah Fitzpatrick."

Cleveland Browns select OT Jedrick Wills, University of Alabama Cleveland got the QB, the RBs, the star WRs, the pass catching TEs and.....well they forgot the OL. Cam Robinson was a disaster, their interior OL is a mess and despite having a great OL coach, they couldnt protect Mayfield enough to prevent him from seeing metaphorical ghosts. A regime change is going to help but a real change in what the talent level needs to be up front is the biggest hurdle that needs clearing. Jedrick Wills is a blessing at this point in the draft and can play either tackle spot. Again protect your investments.

New York Jets select WR CeeDee Lamb, University of Oklahoma "- Jets need weapons in a bad way and need someone on that team to give him help besides Robbie Anderson. Enter CeeDee Lamb. In a loaded WR class, he is just behind Jerry Jeudy at the top of the heap. He has great hands, is a sharp route runner and is the most polished receiver in the draft class. I'd argue he has better body control than Jeudy, and his RAC ability is elite. The only drawback is his speed. While he is not overly fast though, polished footwork and craftwork allows him to create seperation against DBs."

Oakland Raiders select WR Henry Ruggs, University of Alabama I bet that the Raiders will absolutely positively have conversation about trading up in the draft to grab a QB, using their gamut of picks to play around with getting a Herbert or a Tua. I even considered Jordan Love here or a Javon Kinlaw. In the end, I wonder if the Raiders feel as though no matter who is throwing the ball, they simply can't win on the outside with Tyrell Williams as the lead dog WR. They DID make the move for Antonio Brown which of course backfired. A pure speed stud like Ruggs could open things up for Gruden's offense which already boasts a solid TE and RB combo.

Indianapolis Colts select WR Laviska Shenault, University of Colorado "- Colts have no play-makers beside Hilton and occassionally Mack. Shenault is a stud receiver, who had a down year this year compared to the remarkable 2018 where he brought in 85 receptions on a BAD Colorado team. In short, Shenault made Steven Montez look good. Great speed, physical runner, and has great potential after the catch."

Tampa Bay Buccaneers select FS Grant Delpit, LSU There's a lot of options for Tampa Bay but no perfect fits. Todd Bowles' defense would probably love to have a guy like Delpit who exists to make plays on the ball and basically is your dream free safety or a defensive tackle like a Neville Gallimore or an edge like AJ Epenesa. With all options at their disposal, I think Grant Delpit is cleanest fit. Also of course QB Jordan Love is around too if you want to get nuts.

Denver Broncos select CB Treveon Diggs, University of Alabama "Need a corner to shut down a side of the field. Brings added value as a punt and kick returner. Has excellent speed and athleticism. Broken foot in 2018 that raised some concern, but a solid 2019 saw a return to form."

Atlanta Falcons select DT Javon Kinlaw, University of South Carolina With Grady Jarrett as the star 3-tech for a Seattle Seahawks-y Cover 3 scheme, a 1 technique who can wreak some havoc and take some pressure off of Jarrett, Tak McKinley and a genuinely bad awful secondary would be a big help for Dan Quinn as he fights for his job. Kinlaw is the sort of big bodied with athleticism type of interior presence that Seattle offshoots have needed.

Dallas Cowboys select DE Yetur Gross-Matos,  Penn State University "-Taco Charlton is a bust, Robert Quinn isnt a long-term solution, but Demarcus Lawrence gets a running mate. 40 tackles last year with 9.5 sacks after a breakout Sophmore season where he had 8 sacks and 54 tackles. Strong, physical, gets upfield, burgeoning pass rusher and a great run defender. Cowboys get a good one."

Miami Dolphins select DE AJ Epenesa, University of Iowa If you look at the sort of DEs who succeed in a Brian Flores style system, it's guys like AJ Epenesa. Talking big bodied guys who have enough bend to be versatile edge rushers with the size, strength and toughness to win on the interior if need be. Epenesa would be the ultimate chess piece defensive linemen who would give the Dolphins a serious boost upfront and would add culture, grit and skill to a defensive line currently anchored by Charles Harris and Taco Charlton.

Oakland Raiders: selectJordan Love, QB, Utah State "- Lets get fucking weird. Marijuana suspension aside, the Carr experiment is over. Jordan Love is a guy that Gruden would love, with the intangibles, the arm and the ability to make plays. Gruden fell in love with his skillset doppleganger in Josh Allen and this time around, won't let his guy slip. Gruden gets his QB for better or worse."

Jacksonville Jaguars select OT Tristan Wirfs, University of Iowa Wirfs falling this far feels like a stretch BUT he's here and Jacksonville gets to take him! A rock solid all around tackle prospect who will probably not be the same level athlete as Willis or Thomas, Wirfs is your immediate starter at either tackle spot for Jacksonville that's probably full bore into Minshew Mania next year.

Philadelphia Eagles select WR Justin Jefferson, LSU "Alshon Jeffery cant stay healthy, DeSean Jackson is old and Justin Jefferson has a sure set of hands, size, and height. A new number one is needed, and Wentz (if he stay healthy, which I don't believe he can), gets another target."

Buffalo Bills select WR Tee Higgins, University of Clemson To the credit of the Bills, they've built a nice little offense with a lot of smaller quicker pieces like John Brown, Cole Beasley, Isaiah McKenzie and Devin Singletary. It feels like it's time to add some size to the outside as Josh Allen has a big arm and could probably make some magic with a good jump ball WR. Enter Tee Higgins who is acing things as a big bodied clutch target for Clemson.

Patriots select TE Albert Okwuegbunam, University of Missouri "- They havent had a relevant TE since Gronk retired and need someone able to run block as well as haul them in. Gifted. Nice hands, athletic. Fits that system perfect."

New Orleans Saints select CB Kristian Fulton, LSU Somehow Fulton fell to this spot? Okay then. Marshon Lattimore is a stud but the Saints have been trumpeting out dudes like Eli Apple, PJ Williams and Janoris Jenkins opposite him. Fulton fits the size, build, length and playmaking mold of what the Saints want on the outside and when you combine him and Lattimore? There's shutdown duo potential here.

Tennessee Titans select Jaelen Reagor, WR, TCU "Speed demon, and someone to go along with Brown as an actual threat to take the pressure off of Derrick Henry. Big play threat who can take the top off a defense. Grades out similarly to a Will Fuller or Hollywood Brown."

Minnesota Vikings select CB Paulson Adebo, University of Stanford Trae Waynes may be out of Minnesota and the Vikings secondary has struggled to figure out if Xavier Rhodes is in the midst of a brief slump or a full blown decline. Paulson Adebo is solid DB depth; a long lengthy corner who can play press man or off in zone. He can make plays on the ball too and tackles really well so he fits everything Mike Zimmer is going to want in a DB.

Miami Dolphins select RB Johnathan Taylor, University of Wisconsin "Nox hates this pick, because he hates nice things, but the Dolphins need a running back. Like they're leading rusher this year was Ryan Fitzpatrick. Seriously. I'm not even lying. He lead them with 430 yards. Jonathan Taylor will give them a strong, physical back who can carry 20 times a game, eat some carries, get some yards while giving Tua a soft-spot to land in 2021 alongside Devante Parker. See? Thats thinking long-term."

Seattle Seahawks select CB CJ Henderson, University of Florida It's Seattle. They're going to take DEs and DBs in the first round. CJ Henderson is another Cover 3 corner with length, size and the requisite toughness. A bit has been made of a few subpar tackling efforts but I think that's somewhat overstated. Pete Carroll gets another fit for the secondary.

Kansas City Chiefs select Raekwon Davis, DE, Bama "Dominant inside lineman and wouldn't hurt to shore up that defensive line and add depth to a shaky defensive core that needs to get younger."

Green Bay Packers select CB Bryce Hall, University of Virginia The Packers could maybe use another TE to pair up with Jace Sternberger, they could maybe use another WR who could help take some pressure off of Devante Adams, they could maybe use OL help or another DL but I like the idea of Bryce Hall as a potential Kevin King replacement should he not get re-signed after next season. This is now my third straight DB pick but I feel like there's a lot of superb secondary names in this class.

San Francisco 49ers select OT Trey Adams, Washington "Niners grab an understudy for Joe Staley, start him as a guard then move him outside. Standout LT in the Pac 21, kept both Jake Browning and then Jacob Eason upright. Smooth lineman with length and size. Uses his leverage to sustain block. Quick feet and athletic on the edge. Stays healthy? He's a franchise left tackle."

Baltimore Ravens select LB Kenneth Murray, University of Oklahoma Well II mean I know I forgot this guy existed actually. Murray in Baltimore where he can be a somewhat undersized-ish 3-4 ILB who plays at pretty much the speed of light would be a tremendous selection. Good coaches find ways to use elite players and that;s what Murray is and that's how Murray SHOULD be used.

The best available players after Round 1 of the 2020 NFL Draft

Photograph by Ken Murray/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images

Houston offensive tackle Josh Jones highlights the best players for the second round on Friday.

In the end, after several twists, turns and false rumors, the beginning of the 2020 NFL Draft went as usual. And that goes beyond Joe Burrow going first and Chase Young going second. The Lions took cornerback Jeff Okudah at No. 3. The Giants took an offensive tackle. Tua Tagovailoa went to the Dolphins like most expected until people started assuming they would take Justin Herbert. The Chargers wisely took the best quarterback that fell to them in Herbert.

But not everything went according to plan. The wide receivers came off the board in an order few expected. Same for the offensive tackles. The first round was also filled with some stunners, like the Green Bay Packers moving up for quarterback Jordan Love or the Seattle Seahawks holding at No. 27 and taking linebacker Jordyn Brooks.

Those unexpected picks meant some big names fell out of the first round. Here are the best players available at the start of the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft, based on SB Nation’s top 100 players and then some:

The 4 kinds of prospects you’ll want to watch at the NFL Combine

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

From Tua Tagovailoa’s medical evaluation to must-see workouts, these are the player storylines to follow at the combine.

Here’s the thing about the NFL Scouting Combine: It is the single strangest event on the sports calendar. There is nothing normal about this job interview process. Still, it’s a major part of the lead up to the NFL Draft.

Players will be interviewed by the media and teams — you decide which is more laborious. They’ll be poked and prodded by medical staffs, and their medical information will get put online. They’ll take the Wonderlic test, and that too will find its way online. Finally, the players will work out in their underpants where anything can happen.

Mostly, though, it’s about the prospects themselves. Here are a few key things to watch for at the 2020 NFL Combine:

The players who have the most important medical tests

The combine started as a way for NFL teams to get medical information on the players they might draft. Here are a few players with injury pasts that will be worth watching — none more paramount than the first name on this list.

1. Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama

Tagovailoa, who fractured his hip in November, said his doctors are expected to fully clear him by March 9. The greater issue, though, is the quarterback’s long-term health.

If teams are concerned that Tagovailoa can easily re-injure his hip, they will check him off their draft list. There’s also Tagovailoa’s ankles. He underwent a procedure called tightrope surgery on both ankles in different years following sprains. That is not normal. Tagovailoa’s health report will be fully scrutinized this week.

2. Netane Muti, OG, Fresno State

In 2017, Muti had the look of a future first-round player at a position that typically doesn’t get taken that highly. He manhandled defenders with ease. Then injuries set in. In 2018, he ruptured his left Achilles. In 2019, had Lisfranc foot surgery. But if he can move around in drills fairly well, he’s the type of player who will benefit from the combine.

3. Antoine Winfield Jr., S, Minnesota

There is a lot to like about Winfield. He was an All-American last season after finishing the year with seven interceptions and 83 tackles. He plays physically and will wallop the ball carrier from his safety position. Despite going pro after his redshirt sophomore season, Winfield was in college for four years after playing in just four games in both the 2017 and 2018 seasons. He he had a serious hamstring injury in 2017 and tore a ligament in his foot the next year.

4. Trey Adams, OT, Washington

Like Muti, Adams looked like a first-round pick early in his college career until injuries hit. A torn ACL cost Adams part of his 2017 season and back surgery shortened his 2018 season. Both are serious injuries, and teams might be wary of Adams because of his health.

5. Lucas Niang, OT, TCU

Niang has an outside chance of being taken in the top 64. The medical evaluation process will be critical for him. He tore his hip labrum as a junior and played through it. However, the injury caused him to end his senior season early for surgery. When he was healthy, Niang projected as a first-round player.

The players who could impress during workouts

With the combine workouts moving to primetime, the NFL has to be expecting some insane numbers. These are a few guys who could put on a show.

1. Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

The 40-yard dash is the most popular combine event, and this year some players will get close to John Ross’ record of 4.22 seconds. Texas receiver Devin Duvernay should time well, but Ruggs probably has the best chance of breaking Ross’ mark. Ruggs ran a 4.26-second 40 at Alabama’s junior pro day last year, and has spent the run up to the combine working on his times.

2. K’Lavon Chaisson, Edge, LSU

While he won’t break any 40 records, Chaisson’s workout will be must-see television on Saturday night — and it should make people forget his pedestrian 6.5 sacks last season. He could come close to 4.5 flat in the 40-yard dash and should have one of the better vertical jumps in his position group. All of those things equal athleticism and explosiveness, something NFL teams covet in a pass rusher.

3. Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma

The combine’s most impressive workout should belong to Gallimore. At 300 pounds, Gallimore is a crazy athlete, and there are some expectations he could get below 4.75 seconds in the 40. Gallimore was second on Bruce Feldman’s annual freaks list for good reason. As Feldman pointed out, Gallimore can bench press 500 pounds and squat 800 pounds.

4. Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa

Just ahead of Gallimore on the freaks list was Wirfs. The first true freshman offensive tackle to start for Kirk Ferentz was a star at Iowa. Wirfs, who is my top offensive tackle in the draft, has everything you want in a blocker. He’s a good athlete, has incredible strength, and stands 6’5 and 320 pounds. He could blow people away with his workout. He’s already penciled in as a top-10 pick. A big week in Indianapolis could make him him the consensus No. 1 at his position.

The players who could break out

Every year, there’s at least one prospect whose draft stock shoots through the roof. Who could it be this year?

1. Albert Okwuegbunam, TE, Missouri

This draft is begging for someone to step up in an otherwise dull tight end class. Notre Dame’s Cole Kmet is the top tight end in the draft, but he might not be the best athletic tester. That could open things up for a player like Okwuegbunam, whose name I had to look up the spelling on twice while writing this portion. Okwuegbunam had just 26 receptions for 306 yards and six touchdowns this past season, which is nothing special. But in 2017, he had 11 touchdowns and averaged 14.3 yards per catch. If he can test well, he should rise.

2. Colby Parkinson, TE, Stanford

Parkinson is another tight end who could make a big leap this week. At just over 6’7, he’s the tallest tight end at the combine this year. He’s not some lumbering buffoon, either. Parkinson glides around the field and stretches the seam. Stanford’s quarterback play has been suspect, so Parkinson could be a classic “better as a pro” type of prospect.

3. Jacob Eason, QB, Washington

How sold are you really on Utah State’s Jordan Love or Oregon’s Justin Herbert? After Joe Burrow and Tagovailoa, those two are considered by many to be the next two quarterbacks taken in the draft. But Eason could squeeze into the discussion. I had him going to the Patriots in a recent mock draft, and the next week ESPN’s Mel Kiper did too.

Eason’s college career was less than straightforward. He played his first two seasons at Georgia and lost his job to Jake Fromm his sophomore season when he sprained his knee. Eason then sat out 2018 as a transfer and played just one season at Washington. Eason’s 2019 stats (3,132 yards and 23 touchdowns) didn’t wow, but it’s hard to quit a massive 6’6 quarterback with an even more massive arm. It only takes one team to love Eason, and he could catch someone’s eye in his workout session.

The players who most need a good combine

Some prospects need a strong performance at the combine to show teams who they really are. Here are four such players this year:

1. Cam Akers, RB, Florida State

The Seminoles have just two players at the combine this year: Akers and cornerback Stanford Samuels, both juniors. That should tell you something about the state of the football program in Tallahassee. Akers was a blue-chip recruit for Florida State, but the team’s offensive line was so bad he never dominated as expected. That makes him somewhat hard to judge. He’s also not the best pass catcher, so teams will be watching how he catches the ball.

2. Raekwon Davis, DE, Alabama

Was Davis asked to not get after the quarterback, or was he just not that good at it? That’s what teams will be trying to find out at the combine. Despite playing in 12 games and finishing sixth on Alabama in tackles in 2019, Davis had just a half a sack on the season. Sure, sack totals can be misleading, but he just didn’t get into the backfield. Davis is good playing the run, and will be decent enough in three-man fronts. But he can help fix his draft stock with good timing numbers.

3. Jeff Thomas, WR, Miami

If you value high school football ratings, you probably expected big things out of Thomas. He was rated higher by 247 Sports than players like Ruggs and Jalen Reagor in the 2017 class. But his career at Miami didn’t go as planned. Thomas was suspended multiple times at Miami and had just 1,316 yards in three seasons. That includes only 379 in 2019. Still, he’s at the combine because teams are intrigued by his athleticism, even though they do have questions about his maturity.

4. Jauan Jennings, WR, Tennessee

Jennings is a complex case. On the surface, he’s the complete package at receiver. He has size, measuring in at 6’3 and 215 pounds, and had good stats in 2019 with 59 receptions for 969 yards and eight touchdowns. Most incredibly, on those 59 receptions, Pro Football Focus says he had 30 broken tackles. And he has a penchant for wild catches, like this one against Florida. The problem is that there are some character questions Jennings will have to answer. He was temporarily kicked off the team in 2017 and suspended for part of a bowl game after planting his foot into the face of a Vanderbilt player.

20 players to know in this year’s Senior Bowl

NFL Draft prospects like Justin Herbert and Neville Gallimore are taking part in the 2020 Senior Bowl.

The Senior Bowl is loaded this year with everyone from small-school standouts to big-name QBs.

The Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, is one of football’s most hectic and strange weeks. It begins with a creepy weigh-in sandwiching a few days of practices, before ending with a meaningless game.

Still, it’s one of the premier events in the run up to the 2020 NFL Draft. Every year, prospects help (or hurt) their draft stock with a good week of practice or a breakout performance in the Senior Bowl.

With that in mind, here are 20 players to know in this year’s event.

4 quarterbacks to keep an eye on

Last year, Daniel Jones’ Senior Bowl performance caught the attention of Giants GM Dave Gettleman, who drafted Jones with the No. 6 pick. This year, there are two potential first-round picks playing.

1. Justin Herbert

It was sort of surprising seeing Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert participate in the Senior Bowl. Over the years, plenty of top quarterbacks have dropped out of the all-star game, but maybe things are changing. After all, eventual No. 1 pick Baker Mayfield practiced leading up to the 2018 game. Herbert most likely isn’t in contention for the Cincinnati Bengals and the first pick, so he could have just been seeing the writing on the wall regarding his draft stock.

By all accounts, Herbert had a good week of practices. He was lauded for a strong arm that zipped through heavy winds and his ability to place the ball in the right spot.

— Austin Silvey (@SilveyESP) January 21, 2020

For his efforts, Herbert was named the best practice player of the week.

— Jim Nagy (@JimNagy_SB) January 24, 2020

Herbert had an up-and-down season at Oregon, and some of that can be blamed on his receivers dropping passes.

2. Jordan Love

The same can be said about Utah State quarterback Jordan Love.

Love is a confounding prospect. His numbers dropped in 2019 compared to 2018, but he also lost most of the offense around him. That included offensive coordinator David Yost, who left Utah State for Texas Tech. According to reports, Love showed some during practices why he’s considered a first-round talent.

3-4. Jalen Hurts and Anthony Gordon

After those two, Oklahoma’s Jalen Hurts, this year’s Heisman runner-up, is the biggest name. But Anthony Gordon of Washington State is the more interesting player.

Gordon started only a season for the Cougars while sitting behind walking meme Gardner Minshew. Gordon’s 2019 stats are eye-popping. He put up 5,579 yards and 48 touchdowns, with 570 yards and nine touchdowns alone coming against UCLA.

The 7 best players in this year’s game (non-QB edition)

While the quarterbacks get most of the attention, there are some big-name prospects at other positions in the Senior Bowl.

1. Javon Kinlaw

Unquestionably the top player participating this year is South Carolina defensive lineman Javon Kinlaw. In the weigh-in session to start the week, Kinlaw starred with an 84-inch wingspan on his 6’5 and lean 315-pound frame. Yes, that is extremely strange to write, but it’s part of draft season. Kinlaw is a possible top-10 pick and did nothing to hurt his status.

2. Marlon Davidson

Auburn’s Marlon Davidson is another big defensive lineman who didn’t disappoint. Look at what he can do at just under 300 pounds:

3. Josh Jones

Another part of draft season is skyrocketing offensive tackles. We’ve seen it annually. Last year it was Andre Dillard and Tytus Howard jumping into the first round. This year, Houston’s Josh Jones could become a hot name, starting with a standout week of practices. Jones is known for his quick feet, but he got plenty of attention for violent, powerful hands.

— Austin Gayle (@PFF_AustinGayle) January 23, 2020

4. Ashtyn Davis

Football all-star games are typically bad settings for safeties because the setting neuters their aggression in the secondary and doesn’t allow them to blitz. That’s why California’s Ashtyn Davis didn’t grab a ton of headlines this week He’s still a potential top-100 player.

5. Jared Pinkney

The 2020 draft is a good one for tight ends, and one of the best ones is participating in the Senior Bowl. Vanderbilt’s Jared Pinkney is a likely top-100 pick as well, but he was injured much of the season and had just 20 receptions.

6. Jonathan Greenard

Florida pass rusher Jonathan Greenard is another player who struggled this season with injuries. Still, in his only season at Florida after transferring from Louisville, Greenard had 9.5 sacks.

7. Brandon Aiyuk

Arizona State wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was a late scratch at the event, unfortunately. A lingering injury sidelined Aiyuk from the event, but he still weighed in an eye-catching 81-inch wingspan. Aiyuk has top-50 buzz, and if teams are looking for their own Deebo Samuel, he fits the bill this draft.

5 players who had a breakout week

These players all turned heads in Senior Bowl practice this week.

1. K.J. Hill

The Senior Bowl has been kind in the past to wide receivers. Terry McLaurin started building his draft stock at the Senior Bowl last year and looks like a budding star in Washington. Fellow Ohio State wide receiver K.J. Hill is on the same trajectory. After a sort of ordinary season of 57 receptions for 636 yards, Hill’s draft process is critical. Catches like this one help:

— The Field Today (@TheFieldToday) January 23, 2020

2. Denzel Mims

Baylor’s Denzel Mims is another receiver who impressed during the week. Look at him pull in this one from Love:

Jordan Love to Denzel Mims down the sideline. Baylor’s Denzel Mims stock is going way up. pic.twitter.com/pGK3Y8TkJS

— Connor Livesay (@ConnorNFLDraft) January 22, 2020

Mims should be a good mid-round pick up for a team looking for a speed receiver who just happens to be nearly 6’3. Mims has all the makings of being a draft gem.

3. Van Jefferson

Florida’s Van Jefferson, another wide receiver, got his share of plaudits as well.

Here’s what The Ringer’s Danny Kelly wrote about Jefferson in his Senior Bowl recap: “At 6-foot-1, Jefferson played bigger than his weigh-in weight of 197 pounds, putting on a route-running clinic while using quick footwork to sink his hips and make sharp cuts to gain separation.”

4. Troy Pride

LSU’s Kristian Fulton and TCU’s Jeff Gladney accepted their invites to the game, but dropped out late. That left the cornerback position a little light in talent.

Notre Dame’s Troy Pride had a strong week after underwhelming at the weigh-in with relatively short arms (31 3/8 inches) and wingspan (73 3/4 inches). On the field, though, he was praised for his toughness and ability to play the ball.

#NotreDame DB Troy Pride vs. #OhioState WR KJ Hill should be on pay-per-view. Great weeks for both of them #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/7Eeu56zNsQ

— Russell Brown (@RussNFLDraft) January 23, 2020

5. Lloyd Cushenberry

It’s also sort of strange to say a player from the national title-winning LSU team had a breakout performance, but that’s the case for center Lloyd Cushenberry. That’s as much to do with the other players at his position than anything else. Wisconsin’s Tyler Biadasz didn’t have quite the season many expected and Oklahoma’s Creed Humphrey returned to school. Both of those things help Cushenberry’s draft stock.

This type of block helps too:

4 small-school players who stood out most

At the 2015 Senior Bowl, hardly anyone heard of guard Ali Marpet going into the week. By the end of the week, the Hobart College blocker was flying up draft boards and eventually became a second-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1. Antonio Gandy-Golden

Liberty wide receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden could be another relatively no-name player who turns into a household name after a strong Senior Bowl week.

— Jonathan Adams (@JonDAdams) January 23, 2020

“(Gandy-Golden) made several terrific toe-tapping, high-point grabs in the corner of the end zone against multiple corners and used his strong hands and good body positioning to win on slants and in-breaking routes,” Yahoo Sports’ Eric Edholm wrote in his Day 3 winners post.

2. Adam Trautman

Dayton tight end Adam Trautman has been a favorite of #DraftTwitter for much of the season, and he got to show why during Senior Bowl week.

There's a buzz among scouts I've talked to this morning and last night about Dayton TE Adam Trautman The guy everyone seems to want to see this week

— Eric Edholm (@Eric_Edholm) January 21, 2020

Trautman was first introduced to many by The Athletic’s Dane Brugler, who put the Flyer well inside his recent top 100 at No. 72.

— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) January 23, 2020

3. Kyle Dugger

Another small-school prospect people have been excited about since the preseason is Lenoir-Rhyne safety Kyle Dugger. He made the acclaimed Freaks List from Bruce Feldman, and you could see why in Mobile.

— PewterReport (@PewterReport) January 22, 2020

4. Ben Bartch

Looking for an even deeper sleeper? How about St. John’s offensive tackle Ben Bartch?

St. John's (MN) OL Ben Bartch is an underrated prospect who has done well against an uptick in competition at the #SeniorBowl. Was a tight end just two years ago, but you couldn't tell based off of how strong and refined he looks.

— Jacob Infante (@jacobinfante24) January 23, 2020

The former tight end could be a nice Day 3 pickup in the draft.

2020 NFL Draft Big Board

For years I’ve been tracking NFL Draft websites and their big boards and aggregating their boards to make 1 master big board. Unfortunately, earlier this year I decided to shut down the site but since I still have the information I figured I would continue the tradition right here on Packernet. Below is my board. the full board has 717 prospects which have been cut down to only players with 2 or more rankings bringing us down to 381 prospects, and then sorted based on highest average rank.
