Below you will find the Final 2020 NFL Draft Big Board, complete with certain measurables and best fits among NFL Teams for each of the prospects. This should serve as a decent point of reference for the upcoming NFL Draft. Enjoy!
*In parentheses, you will find the player’s height, weight, 40-yard time, and 10-yard split
TOP-10 GRADE
- Chase Young, EDGE, Ohio St (6’4” 7/8, 264 lbs, no 40) – The all-around EDGE is a better pure prospect that either Bosa brother, and that’s saying a lot. He’s quick, powerful, and technically sound. Young can hold up against the run (extremely well) while quickly becoming a double-digit sack artist. He’d go first overall any other year, but there is a guy named Joe Burrow that will steal that honor this year. BEST FITS: Washington, Detroit, NY Giants (well, anywhere, really)
- Joe Burrow, QB, LSU (6’3” 3/8, 221 lbs, no 40) – The best quarterback prospect since Andrew Luck. Burrow doesn’t have elite arm strength, but does everything incredibly well. His accuracy at all levels of the defense is something to marvel. BEST FITS: Cincinnati, LA Chargers, Miami
- Jeffrey Okudah, CB, Ohio St (6’1” 1/8, 205 lbs, 4.48, 1.60) – Okudah possesses all of the traits you look for in a lockdown corner. He’s tall, he’s agile, he has quick feet and excellent short-area quickness. He can play press or off coverage, understands leverage, and has impeccable timing when closing. BEST FITS: Detroit, Washington, LA Chargers, Carolina
- Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson (6’3” 5/8, 238 lbs, 4.39, 1.55) – The most versatile player in the draft, Simmons can make an impact in man coverage, rushing the passer, shooting gaps, dropping into zone, or pressing in the slot. He is the ultimate Swiss Army Knife for a defensive coordinator that fits any defense. BEST FITS: NY Giants, Jacksonville, Carolina, Las Vegas
- Jedrick Wills Jr, OT, Alabama (6’4” 2/8, 312 lbs, 5.05, 1.81) – Best suited as a right tackle, Wills is incredibly agile for a man of his size and strength. He earned the right to be called the best tackle prospect in the draft. BEST FITS: NY Giants, Arizona, Cleveland, NY Jets
- Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn (6’4” 5/8, 326 lbs, 5.16, 1.78) – Sub-par testing numbers at the NFL Draft Combine shouldn’t hurt his stock too much. He was simply dominant at Auburn, showing impressive strength, quickness, and pass-rushing chops to make an immediate impact at the next level. Teams would be foolish to let him fall due to a bad day of tests. BEST FITS: Carolina, Jacksonville, Dallas, Tampa Bay
- Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville (6’7” 3/8, 364 lbs, 5.10, 1.77) – Becton has the highest ceiling of any of the tackles due to his size, strength, and mobility. Men of his dimensions simply don’t move like he does. He needs to clean up his technique, as he won’t be able to simply rely on overpowering NFL defenders like he did at Louisville. BEST FITS: Cleveland, NY Jets, Miami
- CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma (6’1” 5/8, 196 lbs, 4.50, 1.58) – A true freak, Lamb wins at all levels of the defense. Not the fastest receiver, but shows plenty of route-running chops to beat defenses in any situation. High points the ball extremely well, and an absolute monster once the ball is in his hands. BEST FITS: Las Vegas, Denver, San Francisco, Minnesota, Philadelphia
- Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama (6’0”, 217 lbs, no 40) – If not for the injury concerns, Tagovailoa would have a sure-fire top 5 grade in this draft. However, the concerns are valid. Regardless, Tagovailoa, aside from height, has the look of a franchise quarterback. He’s athletic, he has nice arm strength, and he’s accurate. He’s also a born leader. I hope the medicals are perfect. BEST FITS: Cincinnati, LA Chargers, Miami, New England
- Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa (6’4” 7/8, 320 lbs, 4.85, 1.72) – Some thought Wirfs would transition to guard at the next level due to “limited athleticism.” Well, Wirfs quelled those thoughts by destroying the combine, showing explosion, lateral agility, and the strength needed to stick at tackle. He’s not the longest tackle, but he should thrive at the next level, regardless of system. BEST FITS: Arizona, Minnesota, Tampa Bay, Denver
