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

41. Indianapolis Colts (from CLE)

Jonathan Taylor | RB | Wisconsin

Most expected an early run on these top running back prospects, but they’re landing in places we did not expect, and it happens again here with Taylor in Indy.

The best running back prospect in this year’s class, Taylor has many of the same traits that made Leonard Fournette a top-five pick just a few years ago. One of the most productive backs in college football history, Taylor is a power runner with rare speed for his size.

There were bigger needs elsewhere on both sides of the ball, but getting a powerful runner like Taylor this late is a big win. He pairs with Marlon Mack to give the Colts a formidable tandem.

GRADE: B+
