The best draft class of 2020 belongs to the Baltimore Ravens. One of the best-run franchises developed this class into several defensive starters and Pro Bowlers. Patrick Queen had a rough first two seasons in the NFL, but started putting it together in 2022, and the arrival of All-Pro Roquan Smith turned Queen into a … Continue reading 2020 Draft Class Review: #1 Baltimore Ravens

2020 Draft Class Review: #6 Cleveland Browns
At #6 is the Cleveland Browns with a very well-rounded draft. After hall-of-famer Joe Thomas retired in 2018, it's been a revolving door at left tackle, with the likes of Spencer Drango, Desmond Harrison and Greg Robinson starting games for two seasons, the Browns finally found their hopeful long-term left tackle in Jedrick Wills. The … Continue reading 2020 Draft Class Review: #6 Cleveland Browns
2020 Draft Class Review: #7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The #7 draft class of 2020 features two players at the top of their respective positions. Entering this draft, there was a "Big Four" of offensive tackles and the Bucs came out with the fourth one, but the best one. Tristan Wirfs has been the model of dominant consistency. After starting his first three seasons … Continue reading 2020 Draft Class Review: #7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers
2020 Draft Class Review: #9 New York Giants
Cracking in at #9 is the New York Giants...who would've thought. After a very bad rookie season where he finished 59th/79 in PFF rankings, Andrew Thomas has only gotten better, finishing in the top 20 the last three seasons, including 3rd in 2022 with a 90.3 grade. Last offseason, Thomas signed a massive five-year, $117.5 … Continue reading 2020 Draft Class Review: #9 New York Giants
2020 Draft Class Review: #11 Chicago Bears
Without a first- and third-round pick but acquiring a second from the Khalil Mack trade, the Bears turned out to have a pretty good class in the end. With said second-round pick, the Bears selected the first tight end off the board in Cole Kmet. After a slow start and low stats his first two … Continue reading 2020 Draft Class Review: #11 Chicago Bears
2020 Draft Class Review: #13 Minnesota Vikings
The largest class of 2020 was a pretty good one. Trades are a big part of this class, including a notable first-round pick acquisition, a trade back in the same round to get two more picks, a trade of a third-round pick to get four more picks, among others. The star of the class is … Continue reading 2020 Draft Class Review: #13 Minnesota Vikings
2020 Draft Class Review: #14 Buffalo Bills
In probably the most balanced trade of all time, the Bills traded their first-round pick to the Vikings for star receiver Stefon Diggs, who's gone on to have four straight 1,000+ yard seasons, including being the league's top receiver in 2020. With their first pick of the draft, the Bills got some much needed pass … Continue reading 2020 Draft Class Review: #14 Buffalo Bills
2020 Draft Class Review: #15 New England Patriots
A very classic Belichick-Patriots draft. Traded out of the first round with the Chargers and selected a no-name defensive back in the second round, but for the first time it actually worked out. Kyle Dugger out of Division II Lenoir-Rhyne shined at the combine and Senior Bowl, and when he was selected, every Patriots fan … Continue reading 2020 Draft Class Review: #15 New England Patriots
2020 Draft Class Review: #16 San Francisco 49ers
While this class only has five players, the picks that weren't used were for good players, and the picks they did have got a superstar and some good depth players. After the trade of DeForest Buckner to the Colts and acquiring a first-round pick, the 49ers traded back one spot and acquired a fourth-rounder to … Continue reading 2020 Draft Class Review: #16 San Francisco 49ers
