The Miami Dolphins selected USC offensive tackle Austin Jackson with the No. 18 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday.

The Atlanta Falcons selected Clemson cornerback A.J. Terrell with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday.

The Denver Broncos selected Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. Jeudy may be one of the best route runners to come out of the college ranks, so his game should transition pretty well to the pros. The Broncos are adding him as an […]

The San Francisco 49ers moved back a spot from No. 13 and selected South Carolina defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw with the No. 14 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday.

Keith Hernandez 5 years agoCardinals Select Isaiah Simmons Eighth Overall
The Arizona Cardinals selected Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons with the eighth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday.

Keith Hernandez 5 years agoPanthers Select Derrick Brown Seventh Overall
The Carolina Panthers selected Auburn defensive tackle Derrick Brown with the seventh overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday.

The New York Giants selected Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas with the fourth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday.

Everyone already knows that the Atlanta Falcons have been the most aggressive team in terms of looking to trade up within the first round of Thursday's draft.
