NFL Draft: Final day grades for the 2020 NFL Draft
By Chad Porto
AFC East
New England – K Justin Rohrwasser (Marshall), IL Michael Onwenu (Michigan), OT Justin Herron (Wake Forrest), LB Cassh Maluia (Wyoming), IL Dustin Woodard (Memphis)
I know speaking out against the Meme-Daddy and his doggo of the draft is sacrilege but really? Not one quarterback at all? Even to be a third-stringer? They did get the player with the best name, Cass Maluia, so that helps. If you’re a Patriots fan though, you can’t be too happy with what appears to be a pretty ho-hum final day of the draft.
Grade: C+
Miami – IL Solomon Kindley (Georgia), DE Jason Strowbridge (North Carolina), DE Curtis Weaver (Boise State), LS Blake Ferguson (LSU), SLASH Malcolm Perry (Navy)
Solomon Kindley, Jason Strowbridge, and Curtis Weaver could all see a lot of time as rookies. Blake Ferguson wins the Ryan Pontbriand Award for “Holy Crap I Got drafted” for the first long snapper taken in a draft. Malcolm Perry can play anywhere, score from anywhere, and do everything. I wish the Browns had gotten him.
Grade: A-
New York (Jets) – RB La’Mical Perine (Florida), QB James Morgan (FIU), OT Cameron Clark (Charlotte), CB Bryce Hall (Virginia), P Braden Mann (Texas A&M),
Nothing will shock you here, a few backups, maybe a starter in Cameron Clark but mostly special team players.
Grade: B-
Buffalo – WR Gabriel Davis (UCF), QB Jake Fromm (Georgia), K Tyler Bass (Georgia Southern), WR Isaiah Hodgins (Oregon State), CB Dane Jackson (Pitt)
Getting Jake Fromm was certainly a move. Gabriel Davis will stretch the field for the Bills and Dane Jackson might be interesting if he can make the team. This was a solid draft of need.
Grade: B
