NFL Draft 2020: Ranking rookie performances through Week 4

16. James Robinson, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jaguars had a ton of picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, and it’s crazy to think that an undrafted free agent leads the way for the Jags in rookie rankings. It’s true though. James Robinson has had a stellar start to the season, rushing for 285 yards on 4.8 yards per carry. Robinson has been effective on all three downs and has burst and contact balance to change the game.

17. Julian Blackmon, S, Indianapolis Colts

The Colts defense has been great in 2020, and while Buckner and the front seven get a ton of credit, the secondary is much improved. Since his activation, Julian Blackmon has been a huge part of the success. He has excellent closing speed and instincts, and the ball skills have already shown up with three pass breakups and an interception.

18. Jerry Jeudy, WR, Denver Broncos

Jerry Jeudy finally found the end zone for the first time in his young career this past week, a play in which he mossed a Jets defensive back. While the stats don’t jump out, Jeudy has been sudden off the line, crisp in and out of breaks, and dangerous with the ball in his hands. Once Drew Lock returns, his numbers should get better.

19. Jonah Jackson, OL, Detroit Lions

Sometimes no news is the best news. Jonah Jackson has quietly filled a starting role for the Lions and performed well from day one. He’s making a lot of analysts and folks on Draft Twitter look good through four games.

20. C.J. Henderson, CB, Jacksonville Jaguars

The second corner selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, C.J. Henderson has been the best of the first-round picks so far. After a fantastic week one that featured an interception and three pass breakups, Henderson’s play has plateaued the last few weeks. He’s still been solid as the Jaguars top corner.
