2020 NFL Draft: 10 Prospects being valued way too high

7. K’Lavon Chaisson, EDGE, LSU

I’m tired of getting burned by LSU pass rushers. When the Oakland Raiders drafted Arden Key in the third round two years ago, I thought they were getting one of the best pass rushers in the draft. In 23 appearances and 10 starts, Key has three sacks and 15 quarterback hits. He currently sits behind Maxx Crosby and Clelin Ferrell on the depth chart.

Former LSU players like Glenn Dorsey, Tyson Jackson, Barkevious Mingo and Marcus Spears also didn’t see their success as pass rushers translate to the NFL. Only Danielle Hunter stands out as a successful sack artist from LSU.

K’Lavon Chaisson possesses great get off, agility, and strength, but the edge rusher can still fine-tune his run defense. Also, Chaisson missed almost all of 2018 with a torn ACL. 2019 is the only year where he played at a high level and he produced 6.5 sacks. He also missed several more games with a bad ankle.

While analysts seem enamored with Chaisson’s physical traits, his lack of sack production in college and injury history creates concerns. Currently, it looks like Chaisson will go around the middle of the first round. Atlanta at No. 16 could be a prime landing spot. However, Chaisson really shouldn’t come off of the board in the first round.

6. Jalen Reagor, WR, TCU

Under no circumstances should Reagor sneak into the first round. It blows my mind to see him appearing in the top 32 picks in some mock drafts. In a year with so many great wide receivers, how can Jalen Reagor even into the first round? Putting him over Brandon Aiyuk, Tee Higgins, Justin Jefferson or Laviska Shenault is ludicrous.

At TCU, the same school that produced Josh Doctson, Reagor broke out in 2018. He finished the season with 72 receptions, 1,061 yards and nine touchdowns. His totals dropped to 43 receptions, 611 yards and five touchdowns in 2019. Granted, quarterback play does factor into that, but he didn’t even reach 700 yards. Even Shenault, who also suffered from poor quarterback play, crossed the 700-yard mark.

Scouts love Reagor’s athletic ability and speed, but he only ran the 15th-fastest 40-time among wide receivers at the combine (4.47 seconds). On film, he appears quicker than he is. Also, there are too many flaws in his game for Reagor to even sniff the first round. He should come off the board toward the bottom of the second round.
