2020 Rookie Draft Winners & Losers (Preview)
John Holler - 4/26/2020

Often times, assigning draft grades is an exercise in futility. What on paper looks like an outstanding draft at the time picks are made can turn out to be disastrous. The reality is that only about half of the first-round picks made pan out to be star players for years in the NFL.
