Giants Take Oregon Guard Shane Lemieux
With the 150th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Giants have selected Oregon guard Shane Lemieux. A strong run blocker for the Ducks, Lemieux projects as someone who can help open holes for Saquon Barkley, though it’s hard to see him getting much playing time off the bat for the G-Men. He’ll […]

Colts Add Offensive Line Help In Danny Pinter
With the 149th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Indianapolis Colts have drafted Ball State offensive guard Danny Pinter. Pinter wasn’t one of the more highly regarded offensive line prospects in this draft class and is unlikely to contribute to protecting new quarterback Philip Rivers, though the hope would be that Pinter can eventually […]

Seahawks Draft Defensive End Alton Robinson
With the 148th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks selected Syracuse defensive end Alton Robinson. One of the fastest defensive linemen in this year’s draft class, Robinson has the potential to develop into a good pass rusher at the NFL level, though he’s certainly more of an athletic project right now. This […]

Bengals Add Defensive End Khalid Kareem
With the 147th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals selected Notre Dame defensive end Khalid Kareem. While not known as a great edge rusher in college, Kareem was productive in run defense and should be able to carve out a role as a rotational lineman for the Bengals. He can also play […]

Cardinals Draft Defensive Tackle Rashard Lawrence
The run on LSU players continued on Saturday with the Arizona Cardinals adding Tigers defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence. Lawrence is a quick, long defender who has the ability to make plays, though he only finished with 2.5 sacks last season and never had more than 10 tackles for losses in a season. But Lawrence is […]

Vikings Draft Defensive Tackle James Lynch
With the 130th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected Baylor defensive tackle James Lynch. The junior had 41 tackles last season and showed huge improvement in his ability to get into the backfield, finishing with 13.5 sacks and 19.5 tackles for losses. With Linval Joseph gone, Minnesota needed to add talent […]

Jets Take Offensive Tackle Cameron Clark
With the 129th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Jets took Charlotte offensive tackle Cameron Clark. Clark was a good run blocker in college, but his pass protection will need some work, and the Jets shouldn’t expect Clark to start for them off the bat, especially when the team already drafted a […]

Bills Add Wide Receiver Gabriel Davis
With the 128th pick in the NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills took UCF wide receiver Gabriel Davis. Davis is a bigger-bodied receiver who can use his length to make plays and grab jump balls, though he lacks some of the quickness that you’d like to see from receivers at the NFL level. Davis won’t be […]

Eagles Select Safety K'Von Wallace
With the 127th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Philadelphia Eagles tried to address a position of strong need for the team, taking Clemson safety K'Von Wallace. Wallace wasn’t a huge turnover producer as a senior, picking off just two passes, but he did have 72 tackles and has the mobility and tenacity to […]

Dolphins Take Guard Solomon Kindley
With the 111th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins continued to add to their offensive line, taking Georgia guard Solomon Kindley. Kindley is the third offensive lineman taken by the Dolphins in this draft and has to improve in pass protection before he’s able to play consistently and protect new Dolphins quarterback […]

Giants Draft Darnay Holmes
With the 110th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the New York Giants drafted UCLA cornerback Darnay Holmes. New York’s secondary has been in flux over the past couple of seasons, so adding another piece to their defensive backfield was a smart move for New York. Holmes’ size means that he’s best suited to play […]

Raiders Trade Up For John Simpson
With the 109th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders have traded up for Clemson offensive guard John Simpson. The Raiders needed help on the interior of the offensive line, and Simpson has the talent to be a starter early on. He’s not an elite prospect, but he should add some needed […]

Washington Selects Saahdiq Charles
With the 108th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Washington Redskins selected LSU offensive tackle Saahdiq Charles. Despite off-the-field issues with the Tigers that kept him from playing at times, Charles is a talented player who had the skill set to be a Day 2 pick. With Washington trading Trent Williams on Saturday, the […]

Bengals Draft Akeem Davis-Gaither
With the 107th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Cincinnati Bengals have drafted Appalachian State linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither.

Instant Reaction: NFL Draft Round 1 Winners/Losers

Three's a Crowd: How Does CeeDee Lamb Fit in Dallas?
I live in the Dallas area, which means I've spent the past few months listening to our local radio stations talk about the NFL Draft. I'm not a Cowboys fan, but all this listening gave me a pretty good idea of how Dallas would attack Thursday's first round, which the team expected to come away […]

Running Backs to Stash in Dynasty Pre-Draft
The NFL Draft is traditionally viewed as a time when end-of-bench guys lose value because their teams draft new players to replace them. But 32 NFL teams aren't drafting running backs during this draft, which means that there's value to be found among players who are currently in the league. This is a good time […]
