2020 NFL Draft Big Board: Ranking the top 50 prospects – Chase Young over Joe Burrow

Gladney is an exceptionally competitive corner, but he’s not as physical as NFL teams need their outside defensive backs to be. As such, he profiles as a nice finesse corner that teams can line up in the slot. That limits his value, but he still can really help a team as early as next season.

Epenesa has some interest from teams picking late in Round 1, but his lack of suddenness from the edge should push him into Round 2 or 3. The best aspect of his game is his ability to hold up as an above-average run defender on the edge. He’ll be a good pro but he’ll struggle to be great.

Okwara has the size and speed required to develop into a top-notch pass rusher. He’s too light to really be an effective three-down player at the moment though. He’ll require patience from the team that drafts him if they want to realize his full potential.

Hurts is one of the most intriguing prospects in this year’s class. He may never develop into a quality starter at quarterback, but he could provide exceptional value as the leader of an offensive package. Think of him as a better version of Taysom Hill and it’s easy to see why he’s a top 50 prospect.

Aiyuk is still very raw as a wide receiver, but he flashed the ability to make big plays on his collegiate tape. Teams looking for a guy who can create yards after the catch might be tempted to take him early in Round 2.

Gay, Jr has some off-the-field issues to be concerned with, but his talent on the field is impossible to ignore. He plays the linebacker with the type of force required to be an excellent run defender. Throw in his ability to hold up in coverage and it’s easy to see how he can help an NFL defense right away.

Dobbins is ready to help a passing offense right away as a big who can make big plays. He still needs to show he’s ready to play with the force necessary to be a star in the run game. At worst, he looks like a back who can provide value in a time-share for a pass-heavy offense. He could be Alvin Kamara-lite in the right offense.

Teams that value arm strength will fall in love with Eason. He might have the biggest arm in the class. It’s his decision-making that gets him into trouble. If a team can clean that up they might be able to turn Eason into a legitimate star at the game’s most important position.

Love could go in the top 10, but he’s much too erratic to deserve that honor. Teams that like him will point to his big arm and above-average athleticism as quality blocks to build on. Critics will rightly point out his struggles with accuracy in college. Love has a high ceiling as a prospect, but his low floor is what pushes his ranking all the way down to No. 49.

Shenault’s tape makes him look like an easy first round prospect. His athletic testing grades him out to be a borderline XFL player. Splitting the difference makes him a Day 2 prospect. No one should bet against him finding a way to become a good NFL starter.
