Jalen Hurts is a polarizing quarterback figure in the 2020 NFL Class. The former Alabama starter took over for the Oklahoma Sooners and was a contender for the Heisman this year. I take a look at the film and find out why.

Vitals Head Coach: Bruce Arians General Manager: Jason Licht 2019 Record: 7-9 2020 Draft Picks Round 1, Pick 14 Round
Alex Highsmith is a Charlotte 49ers pass rusher, who during his four-year career accounted for 185 total tackles, 47 for a loss, and 21 sacks. Without a doubt, Highsmith my favorite prospect in this draft class. Despite having a packed schedule getting ready for the NFL draft, Highsmith was kind enough to make time in his busy schedule to allow me to interview him.
Laviska Shenault is a polarizing wide receiver prospect as he is a running back in a wide receiverβs body. For some that causes concern, to me, I like it. Shenault is the best receiver after the catch. He gets a lot of hate for running a slow 40-time at the combine (4.55). Aside from collegiate stats and size, Shenault has every tool you could want in a wide receiver.

The 2020 NFL draft is a week away and it will be a draft like we’ve never seen before. No live events, teams unable to have a war room, and commissioner Rodger Goodell will be announcing the first round of the draft from his basement; all of this is because of COVID-19. Now hopefully, everyone is staying home and staying safe, but being under quarantine can drive a man (or six) bored out of his mind. So with extra time on our hands, six of our NFL draft experts (Mike Fanelli, Givanni Damico, Zach Gotlieb, Mason Thompson, Connor Neal, Brady Podloski) bring you a two-round mock draft.

Jaylon Johnson is a fantastic press corner with good ball skills. Where will he end up? What current pro does he play like?
Early this week, I conducted a mock draft for the Lions and gave them Jeffrey Okudah, third overall (because there were no trade backs). For the mock, I found that the players from rounds two and three were the fundamental building blocks.
Wisconsin’s Zack Baun has a wide variety of draft outcomes. I examine the tape and finally put a position to his name.
Damon Arnette is a scrappy corner who could be a day-one starter depending on who drafts him. He’s a versatile player with no major red flags. Let’s get into it.
