We are onto Day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft and there are still impact players out there. Along with every other Cleveland fan, I hope that the front office will find those diamonds in the rough. After taking three defensive players on Day 2, it will be interesting to see what’s next. Here are 15 players on my radar:
1. Netane Muti, G, Fresno St., 6-3, 315 pounds: Muti is a dominant player that plays with a mean streak like Jedrick Wills, but injuries will always be a lingering concern.
2. Ben Bredeson, G, Michigan, 6-5, 315 pounds: A big and strong high floor prospect, Bredeson doesn’t have ideal athleticism.
3. John Simpson, G, Clemson, 6-4, 321 pounds: Another strong high floor prospect that lacks elite athleticism, but can play in a run-heavy scheme.
4. Nick Harris, C, Washington, 6-1, 302 pounds: Can play anywhere on the interior with ideal foot quickness, but lacks the ideal body type.
5. Tyler Biadasz, C, Wisconsin, 6-4, 314 pounds: All-American started every game of his career and looks like the prototypical center, but unable to provide versatility anywhere else.
6. Hunter Bryant, TE, Washington, 6-2, 248 pounds: Intriguing large receiver with impressive YAC ability, but fails as an inline blocker.
7. Brycen Hopkins, TE, Purdue, 6-4, 245 pounds: Fantastic athlete with explosive burst off the line, but his combine numbers don’t reflect his on-field speed.
8. Harrison Bryant, TE, Florida Atlantic, 6-5, 243 pounds: Long red-zone target, but terrible blocker.
9. Bradlee Anae, DE, Utah, 6-3, 257 pounds: Technically impressive pass-rushing specialist with limited athleticism.
10. Curtis Weaver, DE, Boise St., 6-2, 265 pounds: Extremely productive college career against inferior competition.
11. Collin Johnson, WR, Texas, 6-6, 22 pounds: Insane catch radius, but lacks deep speed.
12. K.J. Hill Jr., WR, Ohio St., 6-0, 196 pounds: Productive career with elite route-running ability, but maybe limited to slot.
13. Quintez Cephus, WR, Wisconsin, 6-1, 202 pounds: Fun and athletic on tape, but numbers didn’t show up at combine.
14. Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR, Michigan, 6-2, 212 pounds: Has great burst and athletic traits, but fails to create separation.
15. Tyler Johnson, WR, Minnesota, 6-1, 206 pounds: Insanely productive and had first round tape against Auburn displaying technique like few in this class, doesn’t have ideal measurables.
