History was made in April when the first ever virtual NFL Draft was held via a video conference. The draft was originally slated to be held in Paradise, Las Vegas; however, the spread of Covid-19 forced the NFL to cancel their plans. Picks were sent in by teams then announced virtually by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Despite the draft being held virtually, Goodell still somehow managed to get booed by fans, keeping his 14-year streak alive. Over the past nine months, I have analyzed over 200 players from this draft by watching All-22 style tape from their college career. (This footage is also called coaches' film and provides unique camera angles on the field during a play.) Here are some of the players I believe to be the most NFL ready, biggest steal, and the most confusing pick of the entire draft.

In terms of being NFL ready, new Washington Redskins first round pick Chase Young is as close as it gets. He is a dangerous edge rusher from Ohio State with one of the quickest first steps I have seen from an edge player. He has great size and speed; however, gaining some weight could do him good for the NFL level. Young is just now scratching the surface of his potential, with Ron Rivera’s excellent defensive mind, he should be able to achieve his potential within the next four years. I think Young has a chance to be an Aldon Smith-type player very early on, but have a Julius Pepper-type longevity to his career. Senior Mike Morelli, an avid Ohio State fan, believes “Chase Young was a predator last season and will be one of the best players to ever come from Ohio State.” All in all, the Redskins got what might be a generational talent in Young.

Had Virginia CB Bryce Hall declared for the draft after the 2018 season, he would have almost certainly been an early-mid first-round pick. Instead he stayed back and sustained a season-ending injury in midseason. So here we have the biggest steal of the draft in Bryce Hall at pick 158 by the New York Jets. His draft stock deserved to fall after his injury, but pick 158 is a bit too far in many experts' opinions. He’s one of the best college CBs I have seen in terms of playing the ball. He is a WR’s worst nightmare when he presses due to his lengthy arms and elite ball skills. Do not be surprised if you hear Bryce Hall’s name a lot in the coming years.

Going into the draft the betting odds on Philadelphia taking a QB were +5,500 ($100 bet pays $5,500). It was by far the biggest positional longshot when it came to betting on who the Eagles would pick. Well, with the 52nd pick in the draft, the Eagles drafted former Alabama and Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts. The problem with this pick is not the player; Hurt is a fine player and an even better voice in the locker room. The problem is that the Eagles have a QB being paid over $30 million and decided to spend a second round pick on his backup, meanwhile other positions remained vacant. They probably plan to use him in a Taysom Hill-style package, but this pick is confusing nonetheless.
