Bucky Brooks' Top 5 2020 NFL Draft Prospects By Position

NFL Draft Analyst Bucky Brooks recently posted his new Top 5 2020 NFL Draft Prospects By Position. I enjoy the analyses of Brooks and Move the Sticks podcast partner Daniel Jeremiah.

Players that Brooks has rated a bit higher than most draft analysts:

Quarterbacks
Tua Tagavailoa over Joe Burrow

Running Backs
Cam Akers

Defensive Tackles
Jordan Elliott

Linebackers
Zack Baun

Players that Brooks has rated a bit lower than most:

Offensive Tackles
Mekhi Becton

Edge
K'Lavon Chaisson

Perhaps I'm biased a bit, but I don't agree with safety Antoine Winfield Jr. being ranked behind Ashtyn Davis and Kyle Dugger. 

Speaking of biases, I guess that my Vikings biases overrule my Cal-biases. 

Tight end is the least talked about position group in this year's draft. It edges out the interior offensive linemen. 

Speaking of the tight ends, I'm curious how many people are going to be mixing up Harrison and Hunter Bryant.
