D. Duvernay - WR

BAL

The Cardinals viewed third-round OT Josh Jones as a top-five prospect at his position and a top 30 overall talent prior to the 2020 NFL Draft, according to team writer Mike Jurecki.

The Cardinals have a number of bodies competing to start at right tackle, including Marcus Gilbert and the recently signed Kelvin Beachum, but Jones could be a name to monitor if the team's evaluation was correct. Most likely he spends the season operating as Arizona's swing tackle. An improved offensive line would be a massive boost to the team's offense, as it would allow Kliff Kingsbury, Kyler Murray and company to operate inside of the plan and structure more often.

D. Asiasi - TE

Patriots coach Bill Belichick called UCLA coach Chip Kelly during the third-round of the 2020 NFL Draft "for last-minute assurance" before selecting TE Devin Asiasi, per Jeff Howe of The Athletic.

In fact, Belichick was so comfortable with Asiasi's evaluation that he traded an extra fourth-round selection in order to move up and secure the former Bruin. The final homework likely was tied to a suspension Asiasi faced during the first three games of the 2018 season. Kelly, however, stated the tight end "never had an issue post-that." With the massive changes this offseason to the Patriots offense, Belichick and Josh McDaniels seem to be reverting back to the dual tight end wonder years, investing two Day 2 selections at the position. Both Asiasi and Dalton Keene profile as athletic pass catching prospects.

B. Aiyuk - WR

Speaking to NBC Sports' Peter King, 49ers GM John Lynch stated WR Brandon Aiyuk and WR CeeDee Lamb's grades were “very evenly matched” ahead of the 2020 NFL Draft.

The 49ers passed on the chance to draft Lamb at No. 14 overall, and instead traded up from pick No. 31 to No. 25 to secure Aiyuk on their roster. Lynch outlined a conversation he had with head coach Kyle Shanahan two days before the draft, claiming it might "raise eyebrows," but he would be "perfectly happy" to select Aiyuk at their original draft slot at No. 13. Shanahan agreed. From a stylistic standpoint, it makes total sense as the 49ers roster George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Tevin Coleman, all top two at their position in average yards after the catch. Aiyuk averaged the sixth-most yards after the catch in college football last season. And in an added wrinkle, Aiyuk's former coach, Herm Edwards, is the godparent to one of Lynch's children. Surely that relationship and seamless line of communication paid off while completing background work. Ultimately, Aiyuk and Lamb will always be linked in the eyes of 49ers fans.

Chiefs selected Louisiana Tech DB L’Jarius Sneed with the No. 138 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Sneed (6’0/204) was a captain and three-year starter at Louisiana Tech who earned second-team All-CUSA honors as a senior. Sneed had quality production (73 tackles, nine deflections, and three interceptions) as a single-high safety in 2019 but did look more comfortable in coverage at corner, which is where he played prior to last season. His athletic profile also suggests he will compete for snaps at corner, not safety, in the NFL. Sneed posted a 4.37-second 40-yard dash and 41-inch vertical at the NFL Combine but may struggle defending physical receivers at the next level. He's another chess piece for coach Andy Reid to leverage at all levels of the field on defense.

Giants selected Georgia LB Tae Crowder with the No. 255 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Congrats to Crowder on the honor of being 2020's Mr. Irrelevant. He played 32 games for Georgia from 2015-2019, racking up 122 tackles, 10 tackles for a loss, 1.5 sacks, five pass deflections and two interceptions along the way. The former three-start prospect was originally recruited as a running back, but ultimately spent his entire career on the defensive side of the ball. Crowder will need to utilize this versatility to thrive on special teams in order to make a final roster.

Broncos selected North Dakota State EDGE Derrek Tuszka with the No. 254 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Tuszka (6'4/251) was a three-year starting defensive end at North Dakota State who was a first-team All-American as a redshirt senior. He compiled 13.5 sacks and 19.0 TFLs, plus deflected five passes, during that highly productive season. The Broncos edge group is already pretty stacked, but Tuszka has some juice that should translate to special teams if he can't earn defensive snaps. At the NFL Combine, he led the class in the three cone (6.87) and ran the forty in 4.79 seconds.

Broncos selected Florida WR Tyrie Cleveland with the No. 252 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Cleveland (6'2/209) was a part-time starter over his four years in Gainesville, underwhelming with a career 79/1,271/8 receiving line with the Gators. His above-average length (32 7/8") and sky-high vertical (39 1/2") are outstanding traits to have for a player who towers over most corners, but the reality is Cleveland averaged a poor 1.65 yards per route run, not to mention unreliable hands, in his collegiate career. PFF charted him with as many drops (10) as broken tackles (10) in his four years at Florida. Overall, Cleveland hasn’t proven himself as an explosive offensive weapon, but his special teams abilities might keep him on the Broncos' roster.

K. Hinton - OG

MIN

Vikings selected Washburn OG Kyle Hinton with the No. 253 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Via Dane Brugler of The Athletic, "A three-year starter at Washburn, Hinton lined up at left tackle in head coach Craig Schurig’s pro style offense, lining up in two- and three-point stances. An All-American in two sports in college, he left his mark at Washburn and his coaches are very complimentary of his football character and work ethic. Hinton is extremely quick off the ball and stays balance din his slide-and-redirect, rarely ending up on the ground. He was able to latch-and-drive Division-II defenders, but it will be a different story vs. NFL power as his core strength is a concern. Overall, Hinton faces a position switch and a sizable jump in competition at the next level, but his athletic traits and intelligence are exciting foundation traits for a team willing to be patient, projecting as a low risk, high reward guard/center."

Seahawks selected LSU WR Stephen Sullivan with the No. 251 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Sullivan (6'5/248) converted from wide receiver prior to the Tigers' National Championship run, embracing the move by adding nearly 20 pounds since his junior year. Now the Seahawks have listed him back at wideout. Sullivan's remarkable 98th-percentile arm length (35 3/8") allows him to swallow the ball, though he still struggles with concentration issues that will need to be ironed out before he's a reliable target. There were also noticeable inconsistencies in his development: his longest run after the catch in 2019 was five yards, he played in all 15 games as a senior but caught a pass in only six games, etc. All things considered, Sullivan projects as a poor, poor man's Jared Cook at the next level. He could develop a red zone skill-set on the practice squad.

Rams selected Clemson OL Tremayne Anchrum with the No. 250 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Anchrum started 30 games over the last two seasons at right tackle, but due to his sub-6-foot-2 height he likely will shift inside to guard. The Rams certainly need to play better along the front five in 2020, as run blocking and pass protection was a major factor in their step back in 2019. Anchrum might fill a utility role if he sticks on an NFL roster.

Vikings selected Mississippi State S Brian Cole with the No. 249 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Cole spent time at East Mississippi Community College before playing 17 games with the Bulldogs from 2018-2019. He totaled 78 tackles, 10.5 tackles for a loss, three sacks, four pass deflections and two interceptions, while also notably being named team captain in 2019. The former four-star athlete recruit possesses the type of size (6-foot-1 and 213-pounds) and athleticism to warrant this late-round selection, but he'll need to prove his worth on special teams in order to make this roster.

Rams selected Miami (Ohio) K Sam Sloman with the No. 248 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Rams are looking to replace K Greg Zuerlein this offseason, and Sloman (5'8/205) will have a chance to compete for the job. He was a three-year starter in college, sinking 112-of-115 (97%) of his extra points on his career. As a senior, he made 26-of-30 field goals, enough to put him on the NFL's radar.

E. Rodriguez - C

NYM

Pirates acquired C Endy Rodriguez from the Mets in a three-team trade.

The Mets gave up Rodriguez in order to land Joey Lucchesi from the Padres. Rodriguez, 20, hits from both sides of the plate and holds a promising .276/.389/.452 batting line through his first 66 games in pro ball. He's seen some time at first base and in the outfield, but obviously he'd be a lot more interesting if he sticks behind the plate. He's a name worth following for Pittsburgh.

R. Williams - C

BOS

Robert Williams (health and safety protocols) practiced on Tuesday and will travel for Wednesday's game vs. the Sixers.

Williams has been out nearly two weeks, so he may need a game or two to fully regain his conditioning. His return cuts into Grant Williams and Daniel Theis' workloads, but the Timelord doesn't actually need much time to make a fantasy impact. He's been a late-middle round category-league value in a mere 16.3 minutes per game this season, a number he should reach easily. The Celtics need his size and physicality around the rim, too, as demonstrated during Sunday's loss to the Knicks.

J. Lucchesi - SP

NYM

Mets acquired LHP Joey Lucchesi in a three-team trade with the Padres and Pirates.

As reported on Monday, Lucchesi is headed to New York while the Mets will send prospect C Endy Rodriguez to Pittsburgh. The southpaw only appeared in three games with the Padres last season and appeared to be blocked going into 2021, but he posted a 4.14 ERA in 56 starts between 2018-2019. He also has options remaining and will be under team control through 2024. While Lucchesi could push Steven Matz for a rotation spot during spring training, he's mostly a wait and see option in fantasy leagues.

Kemba Walker is back in action for Boston, giving them some relief in Tatum's absence, and guys like Semi Ojeleye and Grant Williams should pick up a few extra minutes until Tatum is cleared.
