“I’ve been in the revenge business for so long, now that it’s over, I don’t know what to do with the rest of my life.”
So it was for Inigo Montoya after he slew the Six-Fingered Man to avenge his father, and so it is for me at the conclusion of every NFL draft.
Months of breaking down film, digging through team needs, interviewing prospects and more finally comes to a close, and before the next chapter is opened, there’s a calm before the annual storm.
It won’t be long, though, before we’re back at it for the next year’s crop of college talent. Before we get there, let’s take a big-picture look at how each of the 32 teams fared in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Arizona Cardinals
Getting the No. 3 overall prospect at No. 8 overall is a great way to start any draft, and that’s what the Cardinals did when they landed Clemson defensive weapon Isaiah Simmons in the first round.
Trading for DeAndre Hopkins was the best possible way they could have spent their second-round pick, and they landed one of the biggest steals of Day 2 with Houston offensive tackle Josh Jones in the third round.
The fourth round brought two massive defensive tackles in Utah’s Leki Fotu and LSU’s Rashard Lawrence, with Lawrence being one of the draft’s biggest steals of all. Cal linebacker Evan Weaver and Arizona State running back Eno Benjamin were great value picks who are talented enough to make the roster with versatility and special teams ability.
