Dane Jackson Goes To Buffalo
With the 239th overall pick in the NFL Draft in the seventh round, the Buffalo Bills selected Pittsburgh cornerback Dane Jackson. Jackson is only 6-foot, 187 pounds, but he makes up for it by playing with an attitude, and he can play outside near the sideline or in the slot, so that gives him a […]
Keith Hernandez 4 years agoT.J. Brunson Selected By Giants
The New York Giants added South Carolina inside linebacker T.J. Brunson with the 238th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft in the seventh round. Brunson is a physical off-ball linebacker, but he's not fast enough to play sideline-to-sideline and also doesn't thrive in coverage. Brunson will need to become more flexible and gain strength […]

The Kansas City Chiefs selected Tulane cornerback Thakarius Keyes with the 237th overall pick in the seventh round. Keyes has the physical traits to be effective in press coverage at the line in the NFL, but his recovery speed is suspect and he could be exposed deep down the field by quicker and speedier pass-catchers. […]

With the 220th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Los Angeles Chargers selected Ohio State wide receiver K.J. Hill. At just 6-foot, 196 pounds, Hill profiles as an undersized slot receiver at the next level that transitions smoothly out of his breaks. He can also be slippery after the […]

The Baltimore Ravens selected Iowa safety Geno Stone with the 219th overall pick of the NFL Draft in the seventh round. Stone's size (5-foot-10, 207 pounds) and arms don't jump off the page, but he's naturally instinctive in the secondary with good recognition skills. He plays his best in two-high zone and in the box […]

The New York Giants selected Minnesota outside linebacker Carter Coughlin with the 218th overall pick in the seventh round. Even while impressing at the NFL combine in February, Coughlin finds himself going in the last round of the draft. The 6-foot-3, 236-pounder can control tight ends at the line of scrimmage, but he's much better […]

With the 217th overall pick in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, the San Francisco 49ers selected Tennessee wide receiver Jauan Jennings. The 49ers have plenty of receivers still on roster, but they certainly need more after losing Emmanuel Sanders in free agency and trading Marquise Goodwin to the Eagles on Saturday. They […]

With the 206th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Jacksonville Jaguars took Georgia Tech tight end Tyler Davis.

The Minnesota Vikings selected Michigan safety Josh Metellus with the 205th overall pick in the sixth round, their second pick of the round.

With the 204th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New England Patriots drafted Wyoming inside linebacker Cassh Maluia in the sixth round. Maluia wasn't really on the draft radar this year, but the Patriots are really good at finding those under-the-radar players that don't exactly stand out on tape. He's stocky at 6-foot, […]

With the 203rd overall pick in the sixth round, the Minnesota Vikings selected Oregon State offensive tackle Blake Brandel. The Vikings used a pick on an offensive tackle in the second round with Ezra Cleveland, and Brandel becomes the second tackle taken by the Vikes in this draft. Brandel wasn't really on the draft radar. […]
Keith Hernandez 4 years agoCardinals Go With Evan Weaver At No. 202
The Arizona Cardinals selected California inside linebacker Evan Weaver with the 202nd overall pick in the sixth round. This is a really nice value pick this late in the draft for the Cardinals, as Weaver plays upright. His athleticism may be lacking at 6-foot-2, 237 pounds, but he has excellent instincts and works his way […]
Keith Hernandez 4 years agoAlohi Gilman Gives Chargers Secondary Depth
The Los Angeles Chargers selected Notre Dame safety Alohi Gilman with the No. 186 overall pick in the sixth round of this year's draft. Gilman is very average across the board with his speed and size (5-foot-11, 201 pounds), but he's smooth and athletic roaming the secondary and forced six fumbles in the last two […]

The Miami Dolphins drafted LSU long snapper Blake Ferguson with the No. 185 overall pick in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Ferguson was the Tigers long snapper each of the last four seasons and was a two-time team captain. He's undersized for a long snapper at 6-foot-3, 229 pounds, but has good […]

With the No. 183 overall pick in the sixth round, the New York Giants selected Penn State linebacker Cam Brown. Brown was a team captain and two-year starter for the Nittany Lions in college.

The New England Patriots selected Michigan offensive guard Michael Onwenu with the No. 182 overall pick in the sixth round of the NFL Draft. Onwenu is massive at 6-foot-3 and 344 pounds, and he also has great length and big hands in order to wrestle with defensive linemen. He can be overwhelming in the running […]

The Detroit Lions selected Wisconsin wide receiver Quintez Cephus with the No. 166 overall pick in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Cephus isn't huge (6-foot-1, 202 pounds), but he's built and shows great after-the-catch skills down the field. The big concern with Cephus is his small hands, as he dropped too many passes […]

Keith Hernandez 4 years agoDolphins Select Curtis Weaver In Fifth Round
The Miami Dolphins selected Boise State defensive end Curtis Weaver with the No. 164 overall pick in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. Weaver lacks first-step quickness and closing speed as a pass-rusher, but he uses his hands effectively and is disruptive in the running game as well. The 6-foot-2, 265-pounder, like most picks […]
Keith Hernandez 4 years agoKindle Vildor Drafted By Bears
With the No. 163 overall pick in the fifth round, the Chicago Bears took Georgia Southern cornerback Kindle Vildor. He's not very big at 5-foot-10, 191 pounds, but Vildor has good length and flashes the ability to disrupt receivers off the line of scrimmage. Being undersized and not particularly fast, though, he struggles with change […]

The Philadelphia Eagles are trading for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Marquise Goodwin on Saturday. It's unclear what the compensation is for this trade, but obviously wide receiver was a huge concern for the Eagles in 2019, with DeSean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor all missing time with injuries. Philly took Jalen Reagor in […]

The Miami Dolphins are trading their fifth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft for San Francisco 49ers running back Matt Breida, according to a source. With just Jordan Howard and Kalen Ballage in Miami's backfield, the Dolphins were expected to draft a running back in the early rounds, but that didn't happen. Instead, they're trading […]

With the final pick in the fourth round at No. 146 overall, the Dallas Cowboys took Wisconsin center Tyler Biadasz. The Cowboys have adequate replacements for 2020 to help replace retired center Travis Frederick, but this pick likely had something to do with losing Frederick this year. It's a great value pick for Dallas at […]

The Philadelphia Eagles selected Auburn offensive guard Jack Driscoll with the No. 145 overall pick in the fourth round of the NFL Draft.

With the 144th overall pick in the fourth round, the Seattle Seahawks selected Miami running back Deejay Dallas. It makes sense that the Seahawks would go with a running back in this draft after both Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny went down late last season with season-ending injuries. Dallas runs with plenty of effort and […]
