NFL Draft: Biggest strengths and weaknesses of 2020 class
By Dakota Cox
Strength: Wide receiver
Wide receivers will be drafted all over the first round in 2020. The class is loaded at the top with players like Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb and Tee Higgins, but it also has depth. Alabama has three receivers alone that could be drafted in the first round. With a luxury position like wide receiver, expect the run on the second tier to happen early in the second round. If teams have other priorities, they will likely wait until day three to get a receiver.
Last season, there were only two wide receivers taken in the first round. Expect there to be many more in 2020. Jeudy has the talent to be the first player taken overall, and he will likely be taken in the first five picks. Lamb, Higgins and Laviska Shenault will be candidates to receive first-round grades. You also have Tylan Wallace, Henry Ruggs and Devonta Smith as potential members of this class.
This junior class is filled with studs at skill positions. Many teams intentionally passed on receivers with top picks because they knew there would be plenty of them in 2020. This season will be their chance to shine.
If your team needs help at the receiver position, expect them to get it in 2020. If they don’t, they should reconsider their draft decisions. If all these potential players declare for 2020, this class will be absolutely loaded.
