The Detroit Lions scored the top-rated undrafted free agent from the 2020 class in tight end Hunter Bryant. The Washington TE wound up with the highest average ranking from draft analysts for any player not selected in last weekend’s draft.
Arif Hasan of The Athletic compiled a meaty list of draft boards from more than 50 NFL draft analysts and outlets (disclaimer: my own board was included). Bryant finished as the No. 98 overall player on those boards. Yet he went unselected after the 255 picks.
Bryant wasn’t the only prominent tight end who went undrafted. Second on the list was LSU’s Thaddeus (son of Randy) Moss. His Huskies teammate Trey Adams, an offensive tackle, is fifth on the list. Bryant was the only Lions signee to crack the top 25 in the consensus rankings.
