The 2020 draft is now complete. One of the most important evaluations of this draft class will be deciding which role each player has next year. Generally, the higher draft picks have a better chance of seeing the field early on. It wouldn’t surprise me if that was different this year though, both due to a need for player development and the effects of the pandemic.
QB Justin Herbert, Oregon
Justin Herbert was selected with the sixth pick, but don’t expect to see him in 2020. The team feels fairly comfortable with Tyrod Taylor starting as Herbert waits in the wings.
