2020 NFL Draft Big Board: Top 50 players Post-Senior Bowl week
41. Ashtyn Davis, S, Cal
Ashtyn Davis is another one of those players who missed out on Senior Bowl week due to an apparent injury. But much like a few of those same players, Davis is a very talented player who really doesn’t need to prove himself much more. While a good showing at the Combine could help his stock, Davis shows that he posses the necessary tools such as ball skills and tackling the ability to succeed at the next level.
42. Antoine Winfield Jr., S, Minnesota
Going back to back safeties here with Minnesota’s Antoine Winfield Jr. While Winfield Jr. is mostly known for being the son of a former NFL Pro Bowler, but to me, he does enough to separate himself from his father’s shadow. Winfield Jr. flies all around the field, making big plays vs the run, and displays a drive to create turnovers. Although I think his injury history is something to keep a note of, Winfield has all the tools to be a successful player in his own right.
43. Cesar Ruiz, IOL, Michigan
Right behind Cushenberry in my 2020 interior offensive line rankings is Wolverines center, Cesar Ruiz. If there is one thing about Ruiz’s game that I can say is his best attribute, it would have to be his movement skills. Ruiz shows good athleticism when reaching the second level, then using his strength to bully guys around. When its all said and done, Ruiz could end up being my top interior offensive lineman.
44. Ross Blacklock, DT, TCU
If you’re an NFL team looking for a defensive tackle who plays with his hair on fire, then look no further than TCU’s Ross Blacklock. While the guys have ranked ahead of him in the IDL group all play with a fairly consistent motor, Blacklock might play with the most juice. Blacklock has the size, strength, and tenacity to a destructive for a team and the potential to be a franchise mainstay.
45. Brycen Hopkins, TE, Purdue
Since Kmet declared a few weeks ago, the talk around Purdue tight end Brycen Hopkins has somewhat died down. Despite this, Hopkins had a good showing during Senior Bowl week, showing the quickness and smooth footwork that had people talking in the first place. While he might not be a first-round type of player, Hopkins has all the potential to be a good player in the NFL for a long time.
46. Josh Jones, OT, Houston
Talk about a riser, no one has seen their stock rise more recently than Houston offensive tackle Josh Jones. Having an outstanding Senior Bowl week, where he displayed great functional strength, power, and solid movement skills, Jones could find himself being drafted in the first round when the 2020 NFL Draft arrives in April.
47. Zack Baun, EDGE, Wisconsin
Throughout the entirety of Senior Bowl week, we got to see Wisconsin edge, Zack Baun put his versatility to full use. At times, he was seen lining up at off-ball linebacker while at others he played a more traditional edge role, finding some success from both spots. If Baun has a good showing at the Combine, then his stock has the potential to rise substantially.
48. Jordan Love, QB, Utah State
Coming off of a rocky junior campaign Utah State, Jordan Love had an overall decent week at the Senior Bowl. Love still displayed the accuracy and decision making errors that are present in his film, however, he still managed to display a live arm, athletic traits, and solid mechanics which has made him such an intriguing prospect.
49. Jonathan Greenard, EDGE, Florida
To put it simply, Florida’s Jonathan Greenard is one of the more “twitched up” athletes in the 2020 NFL Draft. Greenard displays an amazing first step, and while he will ease up at times, he displays an ability to finish through his arcs, using bend and length to promptly beat offensive tackles.
dark. Next. 2019 NFL Re-Draft
50. KJ Hamler, WR, Penn State
The best way to describe Penn State’s KJ Hamler is that he’s essentially Hollywood Brown without the injury concern or immense production. Hamler is a lightning-fast receiver who is as shifty as they come in the open field, showing off his impressive lateral quicks to create big yards after the catch. His route-running could use some fine-tuning, but Hamler shows the potential to be a potent weapon in any offensive scheme.
