2020 NFL Draft: Full grades for every 2nd-round pick

Grading every pick from the second round of the 2020 NFL draft, with instant analysis of each selection

57. Los Angeles Rams (from HOU)

Van Jefferson | WR | Florida

The Rams traded away Brandin Cooks, so this pick makes sense in terms of filling that hole, but there were much bigger needs across the roster, even after losing a player like Cooks.

As a prospect, Jefferson is one of the most polished route runners in this year’s loaded receiver class, and while there may be pass-catchers with more upside, he’s got an extremely high floor.

This isn’t a bad pick, but with Denzel Mims still on the board at receiver, and Josh Jones still there at a position they need more, it just felt too early for a team that needs to maximize every selection after not having a first-rounder.
