- Bengals: WR Tee Higgins, Clemson. Grade: A+. Bengals get the premier rebounder in the class. Separation good enough. Deceptive after the catch. Gigantic catch radius.
- Colts: WR Michael Pittman, USC. Grade: B+. Great size and length. Polished, complete game but lacks trump card. Plays to his size. Ideal complement to T.Y.
- Lions: RB D'Andre Swift, Georgia. Grade: C+. Swift ran through huge lanes at Georgia. Elusiveness lacking. Thick frame with speed. Premier receiving RB in the class.
- Giants: S Xavier McKinney, Alabama. Grade: A. McKinney does it all at safety. Active, reliable tackler. Range and ball skills in coverage. QB of the defense.
- Ravens. A team with few holes gets considerably better. That's a troubling development not only for the AFC North, but the rest of the conference too. Patrick Queen was a no-brainer and J.K.
- Vikings. The Vikings had to restock the defense, replace Stefon Diggs, and add some warm bodies to the offensive line. They did that and then some with their 15 selections, starting with Justin Jefferson, Jeff Gladney and Ezra Cleveland.
- Broncos. John Elway, Hall of Fame quarterback, hasn't had much success drafting QBs in Round 1. So instead, he focused on wide receivers and landed Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler with the team's first two picks.
- Dolphins. The Dolphins had a ton of picks, filled a ton of needs, and landed Tua Tagovailoa fifth overall. We said it throughout the draft process but if franchise QBs taken in Round 1 only work out 50 percent of the time, and the Dolphins have three first-rounders, why not take a flier on Tua, whose injury history is clearly a concern.

Year:Senior The Heisman Trophy winner and No. 1 player on the PFF board for the 2020 draft, Burrow is in the middle of the most impressive season we've ever graded from a college quarterback. In his lowest-graded game this season Burrow still went 32-of-42 passing for 321 yards with a score and a pick against Auburn. He played one of the toughest d...
Year:Junior The historic nature of Burrow's season also applies to Young's. He's going to shatter the PFF single-season pass-rushing grade record as he currently stands at 96.8 (94.4 is the record). He has had three-plus pressures in all but one game this season despite being the focal point of every single offense he faces. Young, who has 16.5 sac...
Year:Junior Okudah ticks pretty much every box you want from a top-tier cornerback. He has size, speed and length, with off-the-chart production over his career. Now in his second year as a starter, Okudah has allowed a passer rating against of 54.9 for his career. That number isn't even inflated by gaudy pick totals as he has nabbed only three. Ok...
Year:Junior If it weren't for an utterly loaded receiver class, we'd talk a lot more about how special Lamb is as a prospect. He caught 58 balls this season for 1,206 yards and 14 touchdowns. More impressively, Lamb broke 25 tackles after the catch — second-most in the nation. There's not much about the position Lamb doesn't do at an elite level. ©...
Year:Junior We listed him as a linebacker, but he has been more of a safety in the Tigers' defense. Of his 650 snaps this season, 230 have come over the slot, 107 have come as a deep safety, and the rest have come in the box. Oh, and he has been outstanding in that multifaceted role with an 86.0 overall grade on the season. At 6-foot-4, 230 pounds,...
Year:Senior Fulton matching up with Lamb is going to be must-see TV for fans and scouts alike. It could very well be two top-10 2020 draft picks going head-to-head. At minimum, it's likely to be two first-rounders. Fulton graded better than teammate Greedy Williams — a 2019 second-round pick last season — only to return to school and be the highest...
Year:Junior Delpit's 2019 season hasn't gone exactly as planned as he has missed over a quarter of his tackle attempts so far. Injuries haven't helped on that end so we can toss out some of his tape. The coverage ability and versatility he showed as a sophomore, though, is rare as he racked up 12 combined picks and pass breakups last season. Even i...
Year:Junior There's Higgins' ball skills and then there's everyone else's in the draft class. He has dropped only five of his 116 catchable passes the past two seasons and put together a highlight reel on par with anyone's in the country. At 6-4, 215 pounds, Higgins averaged 20.8 yards per catch. In a loaded wide receiver class, Higgins has a chanc...
Year:Junior Etienne has game-changing speed, and he is the top running back on our board for the 2020 class. The junior broke more tackles than any other running back in the country (84) despite ranking 47th in rushing attempts (181). He's a home run waiting to happen.
Year:Junior Teams have realized that throwing Terrell's way is futile. On 313 coverage snaps this season, he has been targeted only 30 times and allowed 15 catches for 192 yards for a passer rating of 53.8. He made a name for himself with a handful of beautiful plays against Alabama in the national championship game last season, including a pick-si...
