The 2020 NFL Draft is in the books and despite the pre-draft concerns about our first-ever virtual event, the entire weekend went down smoothly. Of course, the actual action -- the draft picks and trades -- featured a slew of surprises. The Packers shocked us all when they traded up on Day 1 to take Aaron Rodgers' heir apparent in Jordan Love. The Eagles then stole their thunder on Day 2 when they selected quarterback Jalen Hurts. Although there were no trades in the first 10 picks overall, a flurry of trades went down on Days 2 and 3.

Live updates

No. 238 overall: The Giants select LB T.J. Brunson, South Carolina

Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'C-': "Brunson has the physical makeup of a modern-day LB, he's just not around the ball as often as you want your off-ball linebacker to be and doesn't thrive in coverage because he has problems sinking his hips and running."

No. 237 overall: The Chiefs select CB Thakarius Keyes, Tulane

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'B': "Keyes has the size, length and physicality to be stifling in press and will battle for the ball at the catch point. Recovery speed isn't as impressive as his explosion and his change of direction takes a tick too long."

No. 236 overall: The Packers select S Vernon Scott, TCU

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'B-': "Size/speed specimen worthy of a late-round flyer. Had a strong 2019 production-wise. Tight hips hurt him when changing directions."

No. 235 overall: The Lions select DT Jashon Cornell, Ohio State

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'C+': "Cornell has a unique frame which allows him to line up anywhere up front and flashes some hand-work to beat blockers at the point of attack. Just a lower-level athlete and never truly dominated."

Eagles went LB heavy in the draft, Toohill is their third LB taken over the past three days.

No. 234 overall: The Rams select LB Clay Johnston, Baylor

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'C+': "Johnston floats in coverage and will make plays, but is an older prospect and has injury concerns. Small frame will hurt him against opposing running games."

No. 233 overall: The Eagles select LB Casey Toohill, Stanford

Good pick for the Steelers. Didn't put up wild stats at Nebraska but put up consistent numbers. Racked up four sacks and 4.5 tackles for loss. Pittsburgh needed some depth on the DL after losing Javon Hargrave in free agency. Steelers did a good job addressing their depth needs.

No. 232 overall: The Steelers select DT Carlos Davis, Nebraska

Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'B+': "Davis plays with some hand work at the point of attack. Good short-area quickness. Struggles in run game. Plays high and loses leverage battle. Flashes of big-time explosion."

No. 231 overall: The Cowboys select QB Ben DiNucci, James Madison

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'C-': "Pitt transfer with good athleticism, a quick release and solid ball placement. Not super precise and struggles to make quick decisions under pressure."

No. 230 overall: The Patriots select OL Dustin Woodard, Memphis

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'C-': "Technician in the ground game, but doesn't have an NFL frame. Long-term developmental pivot."

James Smith-Williams lost most of his 2019 season with a lower body injury. He had a nice 2018 season, with six sacks and nine tackles for loss.

Also, this is actually a thing that's happening. Safe to say, the virtual draft was a success, given the circumstances.

No. 229 overall: The Redskins select EDGE James Smith-Williams, N.C. State

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'C': "Greek god who transformed his body at NC State. Plays with decent power but very raw with the technical side of the game and battled through a myriad of injuries."

Ron Rivera for the win.

And the Panthers have become the first NFL team in the modern era -- with at least seven picks -- to select a defensive player with each pick.

No. 228 overall: The Falcons select K Sterling Hofrichter, Syracuse

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'D+': "I can deal with a punter in the seventh round. Hofrichter has a booming leg and multiple years of experience at Syracuse."

Like the Packers, the Bears also loading up on offensive linemen late in the draft.

No. 227 overall: The Bears select OL Lachavious Simmons, Tennessee State

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'D+': "Bears going off the draft radar up front with these picks. But Simmons has serious versatility and a mean streak, a combination making him worthy of getting picked."

No. 226 overall: The Bears select OT Arlington Hambright, Colorado

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'D+': "Tall, run-block specialist who transferred from Oklahoma State. Has to get stronger and play with better pass pro balance."

Kenny Willekes is a steal for the Vikings this late in the draft. Was the 2018 Big 10 Defensive Lineman of the Year. Didn't fully realize his potential at MSU, but perhaps could now with Vikings.

No. 225 overall: The Vikings select EDGE Kenny Willekes, Michigan State

Chris Trapasso gives the pick an 'A-': "Willekes lacks in the bend department but is a karate master with his hands and has a flexible frame to absorb then dispatch blocks. Quality size too."

Cole McDonald is an interesting pick for the Titans. They certainly need a backup behind Tannehill. He's good when it comes to reading defenses and going through progressions but his arm doesn't necessarily scream NFL star. Decent athleticism -- intriguing prospect.

No. 224 overall: The Titans select QB Cole McDonald, Hawaii

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'C-': "McDonald has an NFL arm and is unafraid to push the ball through tight windows, even after an interception. Plenty of high-end throws but also a plethora of bad decisions."

No. 223 overall: The Jaguars select CB Chris Claybrooks, Memphis

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'D+': "Twitchy, slender CB who needs to bulk up to deal with physical WRs in the NFL. Didn't have much ball production in college."

Nice pick for the Cardinals, who needed some depth at running back. Benjamin, who played at nearby ASU, rushed for 2,725 yards and 26 touchdowns during his last two years with the Sun Devils. He also 77 passes during that span, a facet of his game that will likely be utilized by Kyler Murray.

No. 222 overall: The Cardinals select RB Eno Benjamin, Arizona State

Chris Trapasso gives the pick an 'A': "No reason for Benjamin to still be on the board this late. Workhouse back with stellar vision, variety of jukes, and reliable hands as a receiver. Great contact balance too. Perfect fit in Arizona."

No. 221 overall: The Panthers select CB Stantley Thomas-Oliver III, Florida International

Chris Trapasso gives the pick a 'B': "Thomas-Oliver is new to the CB position but really thrived in 2019. Click-and-close ability is tremendous. Ball skills from his WR days. Quality depth late."

Chargers get a good player in K.J. Hill, who can do some work in the slot position.

No. 220 overall: The Chargers select WR K.J. Hill, Ohio State

Chris Trapasso gives the pick an 'A-': "Hill lacks speed down the field and has a tiny catch radius. But he knows how to beat press at the line and is a master route salesman at the short-to-intermediate level."
