Loser: Safeties
No safeties were taken in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft, which was a bit of a surprise, given the talent at the position in this year’s class.
The likes of Xavier McKinney, Grant Delpit and Antoine Winfield Jr. are all still undrafted as we head into Day 2 of the draft, as well as small-school studs like Jeremy Chinn and Kyle Dugger. McKinney in particular was expected to be selected on the first day of the draft, but safety-needy teams like the Raiders and Dolphins opted to go elsewhere with their selections.
While the position was left without representation in the first round, there should be a handful of safeties taken early in the second round on Friday.
