Nfl Draft 2020 Date And Time
INDIANAPOLIS -- When it comes to the highly anticipated, much-hyped, possibly historic class of wide receivers who are available in the 2020 NFL draft, it might be time to defer to Oklahoma quarterback Jalen Hurts, who played his first three seasons at Alabama.
Over the last four years, at two of the best programs in the nation, Hurts has thrown 1,047 passes with 80 touchdowns to several of the best receivers on this year's draft board. His assessment:
'They're all dogs, great players, catch the ball, they can all run -- great players.'
Or as Las Vegas Raiders general manager Mike Mayock said last week at the NFL combine:
Wide receiver tiers for the 2020 NFL draft: Scouts help us rank a loaded class. But plenty of offensive coaches see a slot receiver who can consistently do damage. He can challenge a. The receivers on this list are viewed as primarily slot receivers and therefore excluded from yesterday’s outside wide receiver list. 10) Devin Duvernay, Baltimore Ravens Duvernay is the only rookie on the list because although there was massive wide receiver talent in this year’s draft, we have not yet seen any of them do it in the NFL.
'I've seen all these numbers about guys that are going to go in the first three rounds. Here's what I'll tell ya, the average over the last five years for wide receivers going in the first three rounds is 12, between 12 and 13 a year. You can easily make an argument, from a grade perspective, that there are 20, 25 of those guys out there this year. ... So there's depth throughout, and there's quality up top.'
Second, the 2020 NFL Draft class is incredibly deep at wide receiver with players as late as round four that could potentially step in and help the Dallas Cowboys right away.
We polled scouts, pro personnel executives, coaches and general managers -- and rolled the tape -- to help us put this receivers class into tiers, showing off the elite talent at the top and good players all the way through the end of the third round. We included top traits, best fits and notable quotes for each wideout. Here's how the bounty of pass-catchers looks right now (with a general ranking in each tier):

Top trait: The total package with speed, body control and quality routes. Take a look at his six-catch, 204-yard effort against Michigan to end the season for a few of the many reasons that teams have him as the top receiver on the board -- and in a tier all by himself.
Where he fits best: He has the versatility to line up outside, depending on the scheme, but plenty of offensive coaches see a slot receiver who can consistently do damage. He can challenge a defense sideline-to-sideline from the slot with his ability to create immediate separation, keeping defenders away from the ball and winning with explosiveness vertically.
What they're saying: 'He had some drops at times, but for me, he's the top guy and there's even a little gap after him. Not much, but a little one.' -- AFC area scout
