We are officially a week away from the NFL Draft. While the draft process and draft itself has been a bit weird this year, we are chugging along until draft day. With the Combine now in the books and some Pro Days completed, we have a fairly clear picture on how this draft class stacks out.
So with that said, here is my updated Top 200 big board for the 2020 draft class. These grades are not final yet as I do have to finish watching tape on quite a few players but I do feel fairly confident in these rankings. Leave a comment below if there is a player that you think I completely missed the mark on and I will try to respond to as many comments as I can.
****Round One Grades****
1.) Chase Young, DE, Ohio State
2.) Joe Burrow, QB, LSU
3.) Jeffrey Okudah, CB, Ohio State
4.) Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama
5.) Tristan Wirfs, OT, Iowa
Tristan Wirfs, OT, #Iowa:
— Jordan Reid (@JReidNFL) February 14, 2020
• Athleticism (++)
• Fluid and efficient pass sets
• Effective second level climbs
• Aware to anticipate twists/stunts
• Resets his hands effortlessly
• Comfortable in space (+)
• Ideal fit in a zone blocking scheme pic.twitter.com/1nKhU6Mndn
6.) Isaiah Simmons, LB/SAF, Clemson
7.) Jedrick Wills, OT, Alabama
8.) Javon Kinlaw, DT, South Carolina
9.) CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma
10.) Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama
11.) Mekhi Becton, OT, Louisville
12.) Kristian Fulton, CB, LSU
13.) Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
14.) Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama
15.) K’Lavon Chaisson, DE, LSU
16.) Patrick Queen, LB, LSU
****Fringe Round One/Early Round Two Grades****
17.) Cesar Ruiz, IOL, Michigan
18.) Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU
LSU WR Justin Jefferson declared for the NFL Draft this week. His overall game is great but I especially love when he has one v one in the slot. He wins in a variety of ways from hard cuts to hesitations to dead leg/euro-step moves. More in my film review tomorrow with @Cover_1_ pic.twitter.com/zWn16GxcZl

19.) Ashtyn Davis, SAF, California
20.) Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
21.) Lucas Niang, OT, TCU
22.) Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU
23.) Jaylon Johnson, CB, Utah
Future Colts' cornerback Jaylon Johnson is such a fun study. Aggressive at the line of scrimmage but also really solid in zone. Here he drifts into the window where Anthony Gordon tries to fit the pass for an interception. Get this man to Indy with the 44th pick: pic.twitter.com/DeMWKNdAoh
— Zach Hicks (@ZachHicks2) March 26, 2020
24.) Noah Igbinoghene, CB, Auburn
25.) Jordan Love, QB, Utah State
26.) Laviska Shenault Jr, WR, Colorado
27.) Justin Herbert, QB, Oregon
****Round Two Grades****
28.) Jeff Gladney, CB, TCU
29.) Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma
30.) C.J. Henderson, CB, Florida
31.) Antoine Winfield Jr, SAF, Minnesota
This pass is unnecessarily lobbed and underthrown. This is still an insane play by Antoine Winfield, to save the game/win in 2OT for Minnesota. pic.twitter.com/xBjuw58vr8
— Jon Ledyard (@LedyardNFLDraft) March 21, 2020
32.) Josh Uche, DE/LB, Michigan
33.) Ross Blacklock, DT, TCU
34.) Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin
35.) Matthew Peart, OT, UConn
36.) Grant Delpit, SAF, LSU
37.) Justin Madubuike, DT, Texas A&M
38.) Denzel Mims, WR, Baylor
39.) Terrell Burgess, SAF, Utah
40.) Zack Baun, DE/LB, Wisconsin
41.) Julian Okwara, DE, Notre Dame
42.) K.J. Hamler, WR, Penn State
43.) D’Andre Swift, RB, Georgia
44.) Austin Jackson, OT, USC
45.) Yeter Gross-Matos, DE, Penn State
46.) Malik Harrison, LB, Ohio State
47.) Jeremy Chinn, SAF, Southern Illinois
Wild interception by Jeremy Chinn
— Ben Fennell (@BenFennell_NFL) March 5, 2020
When I get back from the Combine, I’m usually rewatching guys I felt I was too low on... But I’m watching Jeremy Chinn again because I felt I was too high!
And I think I like him even more! Hah pic.twitter.com/Wvj41c45Qj
48.) Neville Gallimore, DT, Oklahoma
49.) J.K. Dobbins, RB, Ohio State
50.) Ezra Cleveland, OT, Boise State
51.) Lloyd Cushenberry III, IOL, LSU
52.) Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, LSU
53.) Brandon Aiyuk, WR, Arizona State
54.) Jonah Jackson, IOL, Ohio State
Ohio State Guard Jonah Jackson really impressed me Senior Bowl week. I looked at his film and was even more impressed. I saw a player who is agile and strong who plays with a mean streak and finishes plays. Should be a top 50 pick come April. Article coming for @Cover_1_ tomorrow pic.twitter.com/U3tEHseHCx

55.) Josh Jones, OT, Houston
56.) A.J Epenesa, DE, Iowa
57.) K’Von Wallace, SAF, Clemson
58.) Michael Pittman Jr, WR, USC
59.) A.J Terrell, CB, Clemson
60.) Marlon Davidson, IDL, Auburn
***Round 3 Grades***
61.) Cam Akers, RB, Florida State
62.) Adam Trautman, TE, Dayton
63.) Michael Ojemudia, CB, Iowa
64.) Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
65.) Ben Bartch, OT, St. Johns
66.) Xavier McKinney, SAF, Alabama
67.) Derrek Tuszka, DE, North Dakota State
The single most dominant game film I've seen from a player in this draft class was NDSU DE Derrek Tuszka vs UC Davis. I personally counted:
— Zach Hicks (@ZachHicks2) April 6, 2020
9 pressures
6 QB Hits
1 sack
2 pressures leading directly to INTs
I waited way too long to watch this guy. Maxx Crosby 2.0. Holy shit. pic.twitter.com/JOFXwt0Cdd
68.) Prince Tega-Wanogho, OT, Auburn
69.) Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson
70.) Damien Lewis, IOL, LSU
71.) Netane Muti, IOL, Fresno State
Just got off the phone with Fresno State OG Netane Muti (@netane_muti52). Dude just loves football and he's gonna be a dominant NFL guard.

He recently talked with the #Colts #Rams #49ers and, for you Colts' fans, says he idolizes Quenton Nelson and would love to play in Indy pic.twitter.com/iyx5XmgVy7
72.) Akeem Davis-Gaither, LB, App State
73.) Anthony Gordon, QB, Washington State
74.) Chase Claypool, WR/TE, Notre Dame
75.) Devin Duvernay, WR, Texas
76.) Antonio Gibson, WR/RB, Memphis
77.) Darrell Taylor, DE, Tennessee
78.) Damon Arnette, CB, Ohio State
79.) Shane Lemieux, IOL, Oregon
Jake Hanson and Shane Lemieux were such a fun duo at Oregon. Both just physical maulers on the interior. If I’m an NFL team that needs to rebuild my interior, I’m pairing these two together come Draft time to create a nasty interior: pic.twitter.com/r7WzfeiV9H

80.) Isaiah Wilson, OT, Georgia
81.) Darrynton Evans, RB, App State

85.) Kenny Willekes, DE, Michigan State

87.) Kyle Dugger, SAF, Lenoir-Rhyne
88.) Larrell Murchison, DT, NC State
Just talked with NC State DT Larrell Murchison (@Murchboy92

). Really impressed with his knowledge of the game. He's gonna be a real good player in the NFL. Reminds me a lot of Denico Autry.
He has met with #Patriots #Jaguars #Lions recently. Met with the #Colts at the Combine pic.twitter.com/xby3wv2OcE
89.) Jalen Hurts, QB, Oklahoma
90.) Logan Wilson, LB, Wyoming
***Day 3 Grades***
91.) Van Jefferson, WR, Florida
92.) Khalid Kareem, DE, Notre Dame
Senior Notre Dame DE Khalid Kareem is an intriguing prospect for 2020.

112.) Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR, Michigan
113.) Jacob Breeland, TE, Oregon
In a very weak TE class, Oregon TE Jacob Breeland (#27) is a personal favorite of mine. Not an explosive athlete but a reliable blocker with good hands in traffic. Oregon used him as a FB, sniffer, in line TE, and slot WR at times. Versatile and competitive player. pic.twitter.com/fWJo6xw3ES

Alabama OLB Anfernee Jennings is one of the most technically sound players I've watched in the draft. Not flashy but steady player with great hand use and football IQ.
