[Dynasty] 2020 NFL Draft Class (4 Viewers)

Greg Cosell analyzes Lions' 2020 draft class

Excerpt:

Quintez Cephus, WR, Wisconsin, Rd 5 (No. 166 overall)

Cosell: "Cephus is one of the more interesting wide receiver prospects in the 2020 draft class. His 40-yard dash time at the Combine (4.73) raised a major red flag, but his tape tells a different story, showing a receiver who has more than enough route quickness and physicality to create needed separation on short to intermediate routes and build up speed on vertical routes.

"Cephus' strong hands and consistent ability to make tough and contested catches also compensate for his lack of sudden explosive movement as a route runner. Cephus is one of those receivers that you need to understand what he is. He's not a quick twitch dynamic mover who can explode out of breaks or sink his hips to create separation.

"Cephus is a good-sized receiver with a physical presence and plus movement traits both to defeat press coverage and as a route runner who can catch the ball. He will find a place on an NFL roster, given that so many receivers get opportunities in the league and in the right situation could become an effective player working inside in multiple slot alignments, and at times outside as the boundary X."


Detroit Lions' Quintez Cephus was the best WR Jeff Okudah covered in college

 
Colts coach Frank Reich envisions second-rounder Jonathan Taylor and Marlon Mack serving as a "one-two punch."

"It’s a grind, and when you run the ball as much as we run it, it’s really good to be able to change that up," Reich said. "I think their styles will really complement each other very well." Reich praised Mack's "vision" and "surge" before saying he hoped Taylor's speed can turn 10-yard runs into "50- and 60-yard gains." Mack failed to run away with lead-back duties in either 2018 or 2019. Reich can probably be believed that Mack will maintain a role, but Taylor will get every opportunity to earn 1A status. Nyheim Hines will remain involved as a pass catcher.
