NFL Draft: Re-drafting the quarterback-loaded 2020 NFL Draft
19. Las Vegas Raiders: Trevon Diggs, CB, Alabama
CB. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Trevon Diggs. 19. player. 28. Alabama
Original pick: Damon Arnette, CB, Ohio State
The Las Vegas Raiders were almost unanimously laughed at for the selection of Damon Arnette, a player who had shown flashes at Ohio State but was considered a second or third-round type of guy by the end of the pre-draft process.
Unfortunately, Arnette got himself released by the Raiders and out of the league by posting some threatening videos on his Instagram page.
The Dallas Cowboys landed Trevon Diggs in the second round of this draft despite 99 percent of mock drafts having him go in round one.
Although he gives up a lot of yards, Diggs also picks off a lot of passes and is a cornerstone piece for the Cowboys’ defense.
20. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jonathan Greenard, EDGE, Florida
EDGE. Florida. player. 52. Pick Analysis. Jonathan Greenard. 20. Scouting Report
Original pick: K’Lavon Chaisson, EDGE, LSU
K’Lavon Chaisson was part of the vaunted 2019 LSU Tigers roster and parlayed one really great season into a first-round draft status.
The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t found a home for Chaisson at this point and he’s got just two sacks in two NFL seasons as well as just 50 total tackles.
That’s not the return on investment you’re looking for from a first-round linebacker.
Jonathan Greenard, on the other hand, was right in the Jaguars’ backyard and has been outstanding for the Houston Texans.
The former third-round pick out of Florida had eight sacks, nine tackles for loss, and 12 QB hits last season.
He’s looking like one of the best pass rushers from this class.
