NFL Draft 2020: Ranking rookie performances through Week 4

11. Javon Kinlaw, DL, San Francisco 49ers

There was concern whether or not the 49ers could replicate the defensive line success after DeForest Buckner left, but Javon Kinlaw has done well so far in his rookie season. Kinlaw hasn’t had a breakout game yet, but his ability to convert speed to power from the interior is fun to watch. His game will soon lead to filling up the stat sheet.

12. Michael Onwenu, OL, New England Patriots

This may be a surprise, but Michael Onwenu has put together a special start to the season, especially for a day three pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Onwenu lacked quick feet and good functional athleticism coming out of college, but he has heavy hands and great balance, and that’s been so helpful for him in pass protection so far.

13. Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, Kansas City Chiefs

Clyde Edwards-Helaire had a great start to the 2020 season for the Chiefs, rushing for 138 yards and a score. He’s struggled a bit on the ground in recent games, but his continued contribution in the passing game has been great to see. Don’t be surprised to see Edwards-Helaire move back up very soon as he continues to get better with his vision and recognition.

14. Damien Lewis, OL, Seattle Seahawks

The Seahawks have had offensive line struggles for a long time, but they’ve found a bright spot with 2020 NFL Draft pick Damien Lewis. Lewis continues to improve in pass protection week to week and can challenge Onwenu for best interior lineman in 2020.

15. Mekhi Becton, OT, New York Jets

Mekhi Becton has been a dominant force in the running game from day one with the Jets, and that’s been fun to watch. What’s even better is that Becton looks comfortable protecting Sam Darnold’s blindside. He will get more tests as the season goes on, but so far so good with him.
