[Dynasty] 2020 NFL Draft Class (4 Viewers)

Dane Brugler of The Athletic wrote that the "combination of size, strength and straight-line speed" is one of Boston College RB AJ Dillon's strengths heading into the NFL Draft.

Dillon (6'0/250) was a workhorse for the Eagles during his three seasons in Chestnut Hill, and now he'll look to excel at the professional level. While there are some clear strengths, there are areas in which he needs to get better as well. "Overall, Dillon’s inconsistent pad level, creativity and third-down skills are concerns, but he is an athletic workhorse and chore to finish to the ground," Brugler, who said that Dillon projects to be a one-cut back at the NFL level, wrote. The workload that Dillon took on while at BC could also be a concern as he carried the ball 845 times in his three seasons. He projects to be a Day 3 selection April's draft.

TCU RB Darius Anderson "can't be counted on in blitz pickup," according to NFL.com's Lance Zierlein.

Anderson (5'11/195) has the size and athleticism that teams look for in a running back, and he started the 2019 season on the right note, but there are concerns. In addition to his issues picking up blitzes, the former Horned Frog also "isn't as instinctive at setting up blocks and anticipating run lanes as he needs to be" according to Zierlein. Anderson, who shared the running back duties with Sewo Olonilua, projects to be an UDFA whose ability as a kick returner could enhance his chances of making an NFL roster.

NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein wrote that UCLA TE Devin Asiasi has "future TE1 potential" at the next level.

Asiasi (6'3/260) wasn't used as a pass catcher all that often at the start of his career, but a transfer from Michigan to UCLA paid off for the tight end. Last season he caught 44 passes for 641 yards and one touchdown, giving the Bruins a viable threat at the position. In order for Asiasi to develop into a starting tight end at the next level, there are a couple areas where he'll need to get better per Zierlein. "He needs to work on eliminating bad weight and improving his technique as an in-line blocker, but his athleticism and speed really stand out in space, Zierlein wrote. He's a threat in the seam and with deep corners and over routes in a play-action based attack."

Pro Football Focus credit LSU TE Thaddeus Moss with zero drops.

The graphic makes it a bit unclear if Moss' zero-drop streak is throughout his career or just the 2019 season, but either way, it's quite impressive. Moss, though not the quickest tight end around, is fantastic as finding space around the hash-to-hash area and sports a stellar catch radius. When coupled with his excellent catch rate, it's easy to see Moss(6'3/249) fitting into a "security blanket" type role in the NFL.

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein sees Georgia Southern K Tyler Bass as a potential Day 3 pick.

Zierlein's biggest hurdle with Bass as an outright draft pick comes in his lack of reps on kicks of 50 or more yards. That said, the analyst notes that the Georgia Southern booter has shown a "repeatable process" mechanically and impressed from distance at the Senior Bowl.

NFL Media's Lance Zierlein comps Ohio State EDGE Chase Young to former Panthers DE Julius Peppers.

A former top-10 recruit, Young (6'5/265) went ballistic in 2018 (15.5 TFL, 10.5 sacks, five passes broken up and two forced fumbles) and 2019 (21 TFL, 16.5 sacks and six forced fumbles). Last year, he won the Bednarik, Hendricks and Nagurski awards. The crazy thing, per Zierlein, is that Young remains "fairly basic as a pass rusher, with just a couple of go-to moves and an occasional inside counter." That should have NFL offensive tackles very concerned about where the kid's ceiling ends. "Elite size, length and athleticism created loads of production and a vaulted pro projection, but Young's set of disruptive properties have yet to be fully weaponized," Zierlein wrote. "Young possesses superior traits and the ability to wreck and alter offensive game-plans as a perennial All-Pro."

NFL.com's Lance Zierlein compared Arizona State RB Eno Benjamin to Buffalo Bills RB Devin Singletary.

"Benjamin thrives when runs go off schedule but also has a habit of taking them off schedule prematurely," Zierlein writes of the 5-foot-10, 216-pounder, later adding that the ASU standout "needs a spread-based running game that allows for more space and freedom but must become more decisive as an NFL back." Benjamin probably doesn't have the juice for a Day 1 selection, but should find a pro home at some point on Day 2 come April's big show.
