The NFL Draft is over, which means teams are moving forward with their promising rookies as they look ahead to the 2020 regular season. Some teams earned great draft grades, while others were limited because they made trades involving important draft picks. Here is the breakdown of each NFL team, and their overall grades for the 2020 draft.

ARIZONA CARDINALS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

With the No. 8 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals chose former Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons. Many experts believed that he was a Top 5 overall talent, so simply based on the value of the selection, it was a fantastic pick for the Cardinals’ defense.

The Cardinals didn’t pick again until the third round, where they took former Houston offensive tackle Josh Jones with the No. 72 overall pick. A top priority for the Cardinals was to get an offensive lineman to protect second-year quarterback Kyler Murray, and they did just that with this selection.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 4, Pick 114: Leki Fotu, DT

Round 4, Pick 131: Rashard Lawrence, DT

Round 6, Pick 202: Evan Weaver, LB

Round 7, Pick 222: Eno Benjamin, RB

GRADE: B+

ATLANTA FALCONS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

With the No. 16 overall pick, the Falcons selected former Clemson cornerback A.J. Terrell. According to many experts, Terrell was the third-best player at his position, after Ohio State’s Jeff Okudah and C.J. Henderson out of Florida. With Desmond Trufant gone, the Falcons addressed their secondary with their first pick.

Marlon Davidson was Atlanta’s second-round selection. With the No. 47 overall pick, the Falcons chose to beef up their defensive line with a player who had 48 tackles and 6 1/2 sacks at Auburn during his senior year.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 3, Pick 78: Matt Hennessey, C

Round 4, Pick 119: Mykal Walker, LB

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

With their first pick of the 2020 NFL Draft, the Baltimore Ravens chose former LSU linebacker Patrick Queen. Queen became the first player from LSU drafted by the Ravens in franchise history. He will make an immediate impact on the field, along with third-round pick Malik Harrison, a linebacker out of Ohio State.

Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins was Baltimore’s second-round draft selection. He was the first running back taken in the second round by the Ravens since Ray Rice was drafted out of Rutgers back in 2008. The Ohio State star rushed for 2,003 yards and 21 touchdowns in his junior season.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 3, Pick 71: Justin Madubuike, DT

Round 6, Pick 201: James Proche, WR

Round 7, Pick 219: Geno Stone, S

GRADE: A

BUFFALO BILLS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Bills didn’t have a first-round draft selection after they traded for wide receiver Stefon Diggs earlier in the offseason, but with the No. 54 overall pick in the second round, Buffalo took former Iowa defensive end A.J. Epenesa.

Epenesa, an expected first-round draft choice, had 49 tackles and 11 1/2 sacks in his junior year at Iowa. He will join a Bills’ front-seven which features the likes of Ed Oliver, Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano, and he will make an impact right away.

With their second second-round pick, Buffalo chose Utah running back Zack Moss.

Moss, the cousin of former NFL wide receivers Santana and Sinorice Moss, will have the opportunity to produce immediately for the Bills in their offense. He had 1,416 rushing yards and 15 touchdowns for the Utes during his senior season.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 4, Pick 128: Gabriel Davis, WR

Round 5, Pick 167: Jake Fromm, QB

CAROLINA PANTHERS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Panthers selected Derrick Brown, the former Auburn defensive tackle, with the No. 7 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. Brown is listed at 6-foot-5 and 326 pounds. He will step in immediately for the Panthers on their defensive line and be a force against both the run and pass.

The Panthers continued to beef up their defensive line with their second-round selection. They took defensive end Yetur Gross-Matos with the No. 38 overall pick. Gross-Matos, who spent three years at Penn State, had nine sacks, 40 total tackles and 14.5 tackles for a loss during his junior campaign.

Every single draft selection for the Panthers in the 2020 NFL Draft addressed the defensive side of the football. After signing quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and wide receiver Robby Anderson, to go along with what they already have in running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver D.J. Moore, the Panthers should be improved next season.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 2, Pick 63: Jeremy Chinn, S

Round 4, Pick 113: Troy Pride Jr., DB

Round 5, Pick 152: Kenny Robinson, S

Round 6, Pick 184: Bravvion Roy, DT

Round 7, Pick 221: Stantley Thomas-Oliver III, CB

GRADE: B

CHICAGO BEARS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Bears didn’t have a first-round draft selection after they traded from defensive end Khalil Mack two years ago. They made their first pick in the second round, where they took former Notre Dame tight end Cole Kmet.

Kmet, the first tight end off the board in the 2020 NFL Draft, quickly became a go-to option for Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book. He started 11 games for the Fighting Irish, and he came away with 43 receptions for 515 yards (12 yards per catch) and six touchdowns.

With their second second-round pick, the Bears took Utah cornerback Jaylon Johnson with the No. 50 overall selection. Johnson had 36 total tackles and two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, during his senior season. He should step in and contribute to the Bears’ secondary right away.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 5, Pick 155: Trevis Gipson, DE

Round 5, Pick 163: Kindle Vildor, CB

Round 5, Pick 173: Darnell Mooney, WR

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Bengals took Joe Burrow, the former LSU quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner, with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. Burrow will likely begin his career as the starting quarterback for the Bengals. He is coming off a stellar season with LSU where he led the Tigers to their fourth national championship.

With their second pick, the Bengals addressed their wide receiver position by drafting Tee Higgins with the No. 33 selection. Higgins played 37 games in three seasons at Clemson. He recorded 2,448 receiving yards and 27 touchdown catches. He put up career highs during his junior year by recording 59 catches for 1,167 receiving yards and 13 touchdowns.

Burrow and Higgins will form a dangerous quarterback-wide receiver tandem for the Bengals for years to come.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 3, Pick 65: Logan Wilson, LB

Round 4, Pick 107: Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB

Round 5, Pick 147: Khalid Kareem, DL

Round 6, Pick 180: Hakeem Adeniji, OL

Round 7, Pick 215: Markus Bailey, LB

GRADE: A-

CLEVELAND BROWNS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

With the No. 10 overall pick, the Browns selected former Alabama offensive lineman Jedrick Wills. He was the second player at the position taken off the board after the New York Giants took Andrew Thomas out of Georgia. Wills is expected to line up on the same line as Jack Conklin, who the team signed in the offseason.

The Browns followed that pick with the selection of safety Grant Delpit with the No. 44 pick of the draft. He was the third safety taken in the second round and first LSU player to go in the round. He recorded 65 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions during his final season at LSU.

The Browns failed to protect quarterback Baker Mayfield on a consistent basis, so the draft selection of Wills was huge for the team, and he will make an impact right away. Mayfield will certainly have the pieces to work with on offense with wideouts Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr., newly-signed tight end Austin Hooper, and running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 3, Pick 88: Jordan Elliott, DT

Round 3, Pick 97: Jacob Phillips, LB

Round 4, Pick 115: Harrison Bryant, TE

DALLAS COWBOYS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

With the No. 17 overall pick, the Cowboys selected CeeDee Lamb, the former Oklahoma wide receiver. Lamb spent three years at Oklahoma and was regarded as one of the best wide receiver prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft. Coming out of Foster High School in Texas, Lamb was a four-star recruit according to 247Sports, ESPN, Rivals, and Scout. He will step in and be another asset for the Cowboys’ offense and quarterback Dak Prescott.

With their second-round pick, Dallas took cornerback Trevon Diggs with the No. 51 overall selection. Diggs, the brother of Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs, is among the top defensive backs in the draft. The Alabama standout had 37 tackles and three interceptions during his senior season. He will jump into a secondary that lost Byron Jones to free agency earlier in the offseason.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 3, Pick 82: Neville Gallimore, DT

Round 4, Pick 123: Reggie Robinson II, CB

Round 4, Pick 146: Tyler Biadasz, C

Round 5, Pick 179: Bradlee Anae, DE

Round 7, Pick 231: Ben DiNucci, QB

GRADE: B+

DENVER BRONCOS 

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Broncos wanted to get better offensive weapons for second-year quarterback Drew Lock, and they did just that in the 2020 NFL Draft.

With the No. 15 overall pick, the Broncos took former Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.

Jeudy spent three years at Alabama and was regarded as one of the best wide receiver prospects in the draft. He should step in at the position alongside Courtland Sutton and prove to be a viable option for Lock right out the gate.

With their next pick, Denver took former Penn State wideout K.J. Hamler.

Hamler had 56 catches for 904 yards and eight touchdowns during his junior year. The speedster should be a nice weapon out of the slot position.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 3, Pick 77: Michael Ojemudia, CB

Round 3, Pick 83: Lloyd Cushenberry III, C

Round 3, Pick 95: McTelvin Agim, DL

Round 4, Pick 118: Albert Okwuegbunam, TE

Round 5, Pick 178: Justin Strnad, LB

Round 6, Pick 181: Netane Muti, G

Round 7, Pick 252: Tyrie Cleveland, WR

Round 7, Pick 254: Derrek Tuszka, DE

GRADE: B+

**

DETROIT LIONS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Lions selected Jeff Okudah, the former Ohio State cornerback, with the No. 3 pick of the 2020 NFL Draft. Okudah will step into the Lions' secondary, and be a contributor right from the get-go. Okudah is expected to replace Pro Bowler Darius Slay, who was traded away to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier in the offseason.

With their second-round draft choice, the Lions took running back D'Andre Swift.

Swift played in all 14 games for Georgia in 2019, totaling 1,216 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. He will step into a starting role in the Lions’ offense, and be a key piece in not only the running game, but the passing game as well, making life easier for quarterback Matt Stafford.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 3, Pick 67: Julian Okwara, LB

Round 3, Pick 75: Jonah Jackson, G

Round 4, Pick 121: Logan Stenberg, G

Round 5, Pick 166: Quintez Cephus, WR

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

It was the Green Bay Packers who had the most shocking first-round selection in the 2020 NFL Draft. The Packers took quarterback Jordan Love with the No. 26 pick. It certainly raises questions because current starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers still has two years remaining on his contract.

This was the first time the Packers took a skill position player in the first round since 2005. With that pick, the Packers actually took Rodgers. Most people would have thought the team would have helped Rodgers out on offense, but they chose to take their quarterback of the future instead.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 2, Pick 62: A.J. Dillon, RB

HOUSTON TEXANS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Houston Texans didn’t have many picks after they traded for offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil last season, and wide receiver Brandin Cooks earlier in the offseason, but they selected defensive tackle Ross Blacklock with the No. 40 overall pick in the second round. Blacklock, who played college football at TCU, had 40 tackles and 3 1/2 sacks in his junior season before declaring for the draft.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 3, Pick 90: Jonathan Greenard, LB

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

Indianapolis entered the 2020 NFL Draft with a few needs, and it addressed them immediately.

The Colts didn’t have a first-round selection after they traded the No. 13 overall pick to the San Francisco 49ers for defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, but they had multiple second-round picks, and used them to build around quarterback Philip Rivers.

The Colts took former USC wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. with the No. 34 pick. He recorded 171 catches for 2,519 yards and 19 touchdowns as a member of the Trojans. He will be a nice compliment to wide receiver T.Y. Hilton, and he will become a top target for Rivers.

With the No. 41 overall pick, the Colts drafted Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor.

Taylor was one of the best college running backs. He became the seventh player in college football history to rush for 6,000 yards and he was the first to ever do so in just three seasons. The Colts traded up with the Cleveland Browns to get this pick.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

After trading away Pro Bowl cornerback Jalen Ramsey to the Los Angeles Rams last season, the Jaguars entered the 2020 NFL Draft with two first-round picks and an early second-rounder, and they used the picks to address key positions on their team.

The Jaguars took C.J. Henderson, the former Florida cornerback, with the No. 9 pick. He will step into the Jaguars’ secondary and immediately fill the void of Ramsey. And with the No. 20 overall selection, Jacksonville selected linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson.

Chaisson will be paired with Jacksonville’s first-round pick last year, Josh Allen, on the defensive line. The duo should wreak havoc on opposing quarterbacks for years to come.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 2, Pick 42: Laviska Shenault Jr., WR

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

Defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs didn’t have many positions to address in the draft since they will be returning 20 of 22 starters from last year’s championship team. All they did was get better.

With the No. 32 overall selection, the Chiefs took former LSU running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He will be another dynamic weapon for quarterback Patrick Mahomes, and he will pair with fellow running back Damien Williams, who became a key part of the Chiefs’ offense toward the end of the season.

Round 3, Pick 96: Lucas Niang, OL

LAS VEGAS RAIDERS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Las Vegas Raiders entered the draft with the mentality to get better at the wide receiver position, and they addressed it right away with their first pick of the draft. The Raiders selected former Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III with the No. 12 overall pick. Ruggs, the first receiver taken in the draft, will be a great weapon for quarterback Derek Carr.

With their second first-rounder, the Raiders took Damon Arnette, the former Ohio State cornerback, with the No. 19 selection. He will step into a situation where he will get playing time right away. The Raiders were thin in their secondary, so Arnette will be expected to contribute from day one.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

After parting ways with long-time quarterback Philip Rivers in the offseason, the Chargers were in need of a future franchise signal-caller heading into the 2020 NFL Draft. The Chargers took Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert with the No. 6 overall pick. He will compete with veteran Tyrod Taylor for the starting job right from the beginning. He will have weapons all around him to succeed immediately.

The Chargers then traded back into the first round and selected Kenneth Murray, the former Oklahoma linebacker, with the No. 23 overall pick. Murray spent three years at Oklahoma where he had an explosive freshman year before earning first-team All-Big 12 honors in his final season. He committed to Oklahoma as a four-star recruit.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 4, Pick 112: Joshua Kelley, RB

LOS ANGELES RAMS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Rams were without a first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft because they traded it away to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Pro Bowler cornerback Jalen Ramsey. After releasing former All-Pro running back Todd Gurley early in the offseason, the Rams drafted running back Cam Akers in the second round with the No. 52 overall pick of the draft. Akers is set to replace Gurley at the position come September. Akers had 1,144 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns in his final season at Florida State.

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Miami Dolphins had 11 draft picks, including three in the first round. They took former Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 5 pick of the draft. Tagovailoa will likely begin his NFL career as a backup quarterback for the Dolphins, sitting behind veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, until he’s ready to take the field. There is will be no need for the Dolphins to rush Tagovailoa back on the field until he’s 100 percent healthy.

The Dolphins took offensive lineman Austin Jackson with the No. 18 overall pick. The selection of Jackson adds some protection for Tagovailoa. Jackson was the fifth offensive lineman taken in the first round of the draft. And finally, cornerback Noah Igbinoghene was the No. 30 pick of the draft. Miami made the selection after trading back and giving the Green Bay Packers a chance to draft quarterback Jordan Love. The Dolphins improved their secondary with Igbinoghene, who will pair with the newly acquired Byron Jones.

MINNESOTA VIKINGS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

With the departure of wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who was traded away to the Buffalo Bills, the Vikings immediately addressed the position with their first-round draft selection. The Vikings took Justin Jefferson with the No. 22 overall pick. The Vikings are set to make Jefferson one of the team’s main targets alongside wide receiver Adam Thielen.

Another position of need for the Vikings is the cornerback position. After releasing former All-Pro cornerback Xavier Rhodes, and letting Trae Waynes walk to the Cincinnati Bengals, Minnesota selected Jeff Gladney, the former TCU cornerback, with the No. 31 pick. Gladney will step into a starting role in the Vikings’ secondary right away.

NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

DRAFT OVERVIEW: 

The New England Patriots entered the 2020 NFL Draft searching for quarterback Tom Brady’s successor. However, they finished the draft without addressing the position. After trading out of their first-round pick, the Patriots took safety Kyle Dugger with the No. 37 overall selection. Dugger played Division II football at Lenoir-Rhyne and could be a diamond in the rough for the Patriots.

With their selection in the second round, the Patriots traded up with the Baltimore Ravens to get the No. 60 pick and selected linebacker Josh Uche. The Michigan standout had 33 tackles with 10.5 for a loss during his senior season along with 7.5 sacks.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Saints drafted center Cesar Ruiz with the No. 24 overall pick. The Saints took the offensive lineman out of Michigan who was shooting up the draft boards as the event crept closer. New Orleans could have targeted a cornerback but the top four had already been taken before the team had a chance to make a pick. Instead, they chose to add Ruiz, who will snap the football to quarterback Drew Brees, in what could be his final season under center.

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Giants took offensive lineman Andrew Thomas with the fourth overall pick of the draft.

Thomas, a standout at Georgia, was one of the top offensive linemen in the draft. He was one of the best offensive linemen in the country since he began his collegiate career.

With their second-rounder, the Giants drafted safety Xavier McKinney with the No. 36 overall selection. McKinney is a sizeable safety who could add some smashmouth football to the Giants' secondary. He had 95 tackles and three interceptions for Alabama last season.

NEW YORK JETS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

Entering the 2020 NFL Draft, the Jets needed help on the offensive line and at wide receiver. With their first two draft picks, New York addressed both spots.

The Jets selected Mekhi Becton, the former Louisville offensive lineman, with the No. 11 pick of the draft. Becton was one of the top offensive lineman prospects in the draft. He was a four-star recruit and was regarded as one of the top offensive linemen in Virginia. He chose Louisville over schools like Oregon, Georgia, and Michigan.

New York drafted wideout Denzel Mims with the No. 59 overall pick. He was a standout at Baylor before turning pro and was shooting up the draft boards in one of the deepest wide receiver classes of all-time. He had two seasons of more than 1,000 yards receiving. In his senior year, he had 66 receptions for 1,020 yards and 12 touchdowns. He will be a top target for quarterback Sam Darnold.

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Eagles drafted Jalen Reagor, the former TCU wide receiver, with the No. 21 overall pick. Reagor, who ran a 4.47 40-yard dash, spent three years at TCU before making himself eligible for the draft.

With their second-round selection, the Eagles took quarterback Jalen Hurts. Hurts was the first quarterback to come off the board in the second round. The former Oklahoma standout totaled 3,851 yards and 32 touchdowns in his lone season at Oklahoma. He led the Sooners to the Big 12 title and a College Football Playoff appearance. He was also named runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. It was a draft selection that shocked many across the league, especially since the Eagles are invested in their starting quarterback Carson Wentz.

PITTSBURGH STEELERS

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The Pittsburgh Steelers entered the 2020 NFL Draft without a first-round pick after they traded it away to the Miami Dolphins for All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. With their second-round draft pick, the Steelers selected wide receiver Chase Claypool. The former Notre Dame standout had 66 catches for 1,037 yards and 13 touchdowns during his senior season. He may end up playing some tight end in the pros, and he will be a nice target for quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

Round 3, Pick 102: Alex Highsmith, LB

Round 4, Pick 124: Anthony McFarland Jr., RB

DRAFT OVERVIEW:

The San Francisco 49ers made the most of their first two draft picks in 2020. The 49ers selected defensive end Javon Kinlaw. The former South Carolina defensive end will fill a hole left by the 49ers’ trade of DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts earlier this offseason. The Niners had traded down to the No. 14 pick, swapping with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

After letting Emmanuel Sanders walk away in free agency, the 49ers addressed the position by drafting Brandon Aiyuk, the former Arizona State wide receiver, with the No. 25 pick. Aiyuk will join wide receiver Deebo Samuel and All-Pro tight end George Kittle as viable receiving options for quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

OTHER DRAFT PICKS:

Round 5, Pick 153: Colton McKivitz, OL

Round 6, Pick 190: Charlie Woerner, TE
