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.

Thank you all for joining us the past three days. It was a blast and a learning experience for us all. I wish the picks had been more sporadic so I could have thrown more one-liners in along the way. Everyone and the rest of your weekend and stay safe!
Best players available include TE Hunter Bryant, TE Jared Pinkney, S J.R. Reed, CB Lamar Jackson and OL Alex Taylor.
And now, undrafted free agent signings begin.
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'C-': "Pure athleticism flyer for New York here. Came into his own a bit in 2019 but has a ways to go in coverage and defeating blocks to help stop the run."
The final pick in the 2020 draft is ...
LSU's 14 draft picks ties OSU's 2004 class for the most draft picks ever.
And that's the Vikings' 15th and final pick of the 2020 draft. And third offensive lineman.
Chris Trapasso gave the pick an 'A-': "Probably may favorite pick in Round 7. Tuszka is a high-caliber athlete for the edge-rusher spot and has a refined pass-rush move toolbox. Perfect type to learn from Von Miller and Bradley Chubb as he gets stronger."
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'C+': "A bit off the draft radar but an experienced, chiseled interior blocker with good movement skills and power for the small-school level."
Cleveland caught eight touchdowns at Florida while averaging 16.1 yards per catch. Classic guy that could fight for a practice squad spot/spot on the 53-man roster.
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'C-': "Cleveland is another Florida product who tested well but it makes you wonder why he never dominated in college. Good size. Has run the full route tree. Some elusiveness after the catch. Loaded WR room."
Chris Trapasso gives the pick an 'A-': "Sullivan is a classic late-round flier by Seattle. Former WR turned TE with scary seam-stretching speed and flashes of high-pointing because of leaping ability and enormous catch radius. Still learning the position."
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'C': "Played OT at Clemson but has short arms and has guard-like athleticism. Lacks in the power department too, but really battles through the whistle."
Brian Cole started at Michigan before ending his college career at Mississippi State. He was a solid tackler for Bulldgos, recording 67 tackles that included 7.5 stops for loss. Like many Day 3 defensive backs, Cole is going to have to cut his teeth on special teams if he is going to make the Vikings' 53-man roster.
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'B+': "Cole has safety/linebacker versatility and flashes quality range across the field. Above-average movement skills to run in coverage. Slower play-recognition skill."
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'D+': "Don't think there's a need to draft a kicker, but he had a fine senior season. Made 4 of 5 from 50-plus yards."
Williamson played two years with the Gophers, recording 90 tackles with 2.5 sacks, one interception and three passes defensed. More of a run stuffer and could compete on special teams.
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'B-': "Length and ball skills make him a worthy selection at this point in the draft. Not a fluid athlete but has good body control to attack the football as it's arriving. "
Stanley's numbers at Iowa was good sans his completion percentage (58.3). Threw 68 touchdowns against 23 interceptions. Experienced college player who could fight for a roster spot in Minnesota.
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'C+': "Perry was an option QB in college but has RB-like vision, cutting skills, and good speed. Not much contact balance but reads blocks well."
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'B+': "Small, squatty burner with raw RB qualities but speed to burn defenders down the field. Can be a niche big-play specialist or even a returner in Tampa."
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'C': "Looks the part. Good arm. Quick release. Plenty of traditional dropbacks on his resume. Accuracy and anticipation lack and he's a statue in the pocket."
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'B+': "Three years of major ball production. Good, not great length and needs to add weight to his frame. Instinctive and chippy."
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'B': "Explosive athlete with NFL-caliber size. Just lacks bend once he gets to the pass-rushing apex. Worth a seventh-round pick for Green Bay."
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'C-': "Sleek LB with some range but has problems sifting through the trash, but is a fluid athlete and can run with tight ends on occasion."
Chris Trapasso gave the pick a 'C-': "Stevens had Taysom Hill-type flashes at Penn State before his transfer, but he's not as physically gifted and is not an NFL passer."
Saints traded back into the draft, acquiring Tommy Stevens, who started his college career at Penn State before playing one year at Mississippi State in 2019. Threw 11 touchdowns and five picks last season.
Jackson only picked off four passes at Pitt, but his four forced fumbles in 2018 stands out.
Chris Trapasso gave the pick an 'A': "Feisty, battler who can play outside or in the slot and has stellar click-and-close ability. Oily hips and good zone instincts. High-energy. Smaller frame and average speed."
The Chiefs acquired the 237th pick in a trade with the Titans.
