Now that the deadline has passed for underclassmen to declare for the 2020 NFL draft, we have a clearer picture of how the first round may play out.
A majority of the players who announced their intentions before the deadline came from the Clemson Tigers and LSU Tigers. In addition to projected No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow, as many as five participants from the College Football Playoff National Championship could be chosen in the first round.
Clemson's Isaiah Simmons has the potential to be the first linebacker off the board, while Grant Delpit could join the long list of LSU defensive backs taken in the opening round.
