The first round of the 2020 NFL Draft came and went Thursday night with a good amount of surprises in the form of trades and players taken much higher than most expected. The consensus has been that the greatest value in this draft will come on day two and into day three and after listing out my best available players remaining, I certainly support that statement.
With Rounds 2 and 3 set to take place tonight, here are my best remaining players at each position:
Quarterbacks (in no order)
- Jacob Eason, Washington
- Jake Fromm, Georgia
- Jalen Hurts, Oklahoma
Running Backs
- D’Andre Swift, Georgia
- Jonathan Taylor, Wisconsin
- J.K. Dobbins, Ohio State
- Zack Moss, Utah
- Cam Akers, Florida State
Reminder that D’Andre Swift is the best back available in the draft & has the best last name of any player in the draft. #FeedDSwift #NFLDraft2020 pic.twitter.com/OYQqibfK9l
