2020 NFL Draft: Winners, losers of 1st round

See who won big and who was left wanting after the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft

Winner: Jordan Love

By ending up with the Green Bay Packers at the No. 26 overall pick, Jordan Love ended up in arguably the best possible spot for his development.

Love is a raw prospect in terms of his decision making and tendency to force throws, but the upside he possesses is palpable. He has a cannon of an arm, showing off the ability to hit deep balls with impressive touch and slip throws into tight windows with great velocity, regardless of his platform. He’s also an athletic quarterback who can move around well in the pocket and pick up yards with his feet.

While having Aaron Rodgers on the roster will prevent Love from making an impact for a while, that’s probably best for his development. He will have the chance to learn under one of the best quarterbacks of the modern era, with whom he shares a handful of traits. If all goes well with his development, Love can be the next long-term star in the Brett Favre-Aaron Rodgers succession train.
