Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Jerry Jeudy. player. 829. WR. Alabama. 3

2019 stats (five games): 38 receptions for 488 yards and 6 touchdowns

Jerry Jeudy is the best is an absolutely loaded 2020 NFL Draft at the wide receiver position. Jeudy is an extremely smooth and shifty route runner who can create space against any defensive back. He cuts on a dime, catches everything and creates a ton of extra yardage after the catch. He is an elite player in this draft class and undoubtedly worthy of a top-five selection.

OT. Georgia. Andrew Thomas. player. 814. Scouting Report. 4. Pick Analysis

Andrew Thomas is a big, long and strong offensive tackle prospect who was put on this planet to play left tackle in the NFL. He is a strong and reliable pass protector whose combination of quick feet, length and power allows him to protect the quarterback’s blind side extremely well. On top of that, he is an elite-level run blocker who absolutely mauls defenders to the ground.

NFL teams will covet Thomas early in the 2020 NFL Draft, as he is the kind of prototypical left tackle prospect who does not come along often.

OT. Tristan Wirfs. 5. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Iowa. 878

At the moment, I have Thomas just slightly ahead of Iowa offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs, but in reality, this is a fluid ranking that could change quickly. Wirfs is an absolute freak up front, showing a ridiculous combination of power and athleticism at the offensive tackle position.

Wirfs is a fantastic run blocker who dominates at the point of attack and shows the ability to consistently take care of second-level defenders. He is also a rock-solid pass protector who can handle speed on the edge and anchors at an extremely high level.

Wirfs has also shown the ability to dominate at both left and right tackle which can obviously be valuable based on the need of the team who drafts him.

Scouting Report. CB. 6. player. Pick Analysis. Ohio State. Jeffrey Okudah. 812

2019 stats (six games): 17 total tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 3 interceptions, 3 passes defended, 1 forced fumble

Jeffrey Okudah is a fantastic athlete at the cornerback position who has massive upside at the next level. He is a sticky man-to-man defender whose short-area quickness and natural fluidity in the open field allow him to consistently defend any kind of wide receiver. Okudah also shows fantastic natural ball skills and tremendous playmaking ability on the back-end.

Simply put, he is the best cornerback in an absolutely loaded 2020 NFL Draft at the position.
