Health and your families should always come frst! 1:00 PM 461 Seattle -1 -1 -120 FOX 462 Atlanta 49 49 +100 However, for those of you that are in quarantine and need some extra reading material, we have spent the last two months with no sports trying to get a jump on the upcoming 1:00 PM 463 Philadelphia -6 -6 -245 football season (both college and pro). Right now, it looks like there is a good chance FOX 464 Washington 45.5 45 +205 football will be played this fall but will there be fans in attendance? 1:00 PM 465 Chicago 44.5 44 +110 In this issue you will fnd pretty much everything you need to get a jump start on the NFL.

Still, we are very confdent that FOX 470 Minnesota -3.5 -3.5 -180 you won’t fnd a better set of power ratings and projections right now in the market place. 4:05 PM 471 L.A. Chargers -3.5 -3.5 -180 For you CFB fans, the next issue (sent July 1st) you will get updated power ratings from CBS 472 Cincinnati 46 44.5 +150 the Spring issue and details about BP Sports 2020 CFB Preview Magazine! 4:25 PM 473 Arizona 45 46 +295 Finally, for those of you that are already signed up for the upcoming football season, again FOX 474 San Francisco -8 -7.5 -385 we hope that this season will be played. If for some reason it is not, then we will handle 4:25 PM 475 Tampa Bay 49.5 49.5 +175 refund options at that time. Obviously, with the economy taking a major hit, discretionary FOX 476 -4.5 -4 -200 income will be hard to come by this year and maybe for the next several years. 8:20 PM 477 Dallas -3 -3 -145 Therefore, any customer that is already signed up for 2020 football (newsletter or VIP) will be automatically enrolled in our “grandfather” program. The “grandfather” program NBC 478 L.A. Rams 50 50 +125 means that no matter what price infation rates are in the coming years and decades that we Monday, September 14th are in business, you will never pay more than what you paid this year for our services. For 7:15 PM 479 Pittsburgh -3.5 -3.5 -175 example, if you paid $79 for this year’s newsletter. That will be the cost of the newsletter ESPN 480 N.Y. Giants 48.5 48.5 +155 next year. It will be the cost of the newsletter for you in 2025, 2035 and even the year 2045 10:10 PM 481 Tennessee 42 42 +120 as long as we’re still here and in business. ESPN 482 Denver -3 -2.5 -140 Again, our thoughts and prayers are with all of you out there. Stay safe and healthy and we will be talking to you very soon. Best Bet: L.A. Rams +3 (-120) over Dallas (Circa Sports) Our power ratings have this one graded only at Dallas -1. There’s lot Sincerely, of hype surrounding the Cowboys entering 2020 but ’s Brad Powers and Staff contract could be a distraction. The Rams were still a 9-7 team last year and if there are no fans in the stands, the Cowboys would’ve Brad Powers likely had a 50/50 split in L.A. That impacts them more.

RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 1/8 OLB Clemson was the best TE in this year’s draft class but 1/26 QB Utah State 3/72 OT Houston was it the Bears biggest position of need? We don’t think 2/62 AJ Dillon RB Boston College 4/114 Leki Fotu DT Utah so. Their other 2nd round pick CB did fll a 3/94 Josiah Deguara TE Cincinnati 4/131 DT LSU position of need for them. Grade: C- 5/175 Kamal Martin ILB Minnesota 6/202 Evan Weaver ILB California Cincinnati Bengals: 6/192 Jon Runyan G Michigan 7/222 Eno Benjamin RB Arizona State RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 6/208 Jake Hanson C Oregon Analysis: Arizona went with the best player available grab- 1/1 QB LSU 6/209 Simon Stepaniak OT Indiana bing a Top 5 overall talent in OLB Isaiah Simmons at No. 8. 2/33 WR Clemson 7/236 Vernon Scott S TCU Then the Cardinals got a starting offensive tackle with Josh 3/65 Logan Wilson ILB Wyoming 7/242 Jonathan Garvin DE Miami Jones in the 3rd round as we had him going in the late frst. 4/107 Akeem Davis-Gaither OLB Appalachian St Analysis: If there was one draft class that got the most We also like the value of ILB Evan Weaver and RB Eno 5/147 Khalid Kareem DE Notre Dame scrutiny it was the Packers. We don’t even mind the Jordan Benjamin who we both had going much earlier. This was 6/180 Hakeem Adeniji OT Kansas Love pick in the frst round as we think he could be a qual- easily one of the best draft classes. Grade: A 7/215 Markus Bailey ILB Purdue ity starter in the league. The problem with this class is just Atlanta Falcons: Analysis: Obviously, it was no surprise that the Bengals about every one of their picks after Love was a reach by at RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE took Joe Burrow with the frst pick of the draft after Burrow least 1-2 rounds from our grades. In the deepest WR class 1/16 A.J. Terrell CB Clemson had arguably the greatest passing season of any QB in CFB we’ve ever seen, how do you not take one in the 2nd or 3rd 2/47 DT Auburn history. Cincinnati then got Burrow some help with a frst- Round? This year’s worst class. Grade: D+ 3/78 C Temple round talent in WR Tee Higgins. Our only complaint would Houston Texans: 4/119 ILB Fresno State be that we thought the Bengals would take an OL with their RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 4/134 S California 3rd or 4th round picks. Grade: B+ 2/40 DT TCU 7/228 K Syracuse Cleveland Browns: 3/90 OLB Florida Analysis: While CB was Atlanta’s biggest position of need RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 4/126 OT North Carolina coming into the draft, we felt the Falcons reached by tak- 1/10 Jr. OT Alabama 4/141 John Reid CB Penn State ing A.J. Terrell who we graded as a 2nd-rounder. We didn’t 2/44 S LSU 5/171 Isaiah Coulter WR Rhode Island mind their 2nd and 3rd round picks, but the Falcons also 3/88 Jordan Elliott DT Missouri Analysis: It’s tough grading this class when the Texans reached in the later rounds especially S Jaylinn Hawkins 3/97 ILB LSU only had 5 picks and didn’t have a frst rounder. That’s GM who we graded as a 7th rounder or FA. Grade: C 4/115 Harrison Bryant TE Florida Atlantic Bill O’Brien for you. Their 2nd round pick of DT Ross Baltimore Ravens: 5/160 Nick Harris C Washington Blacklock was solid and DE/OLB Greenard was productive RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 6/187 Donovan Peoples-Jones WR Michigan at Florida last year. Still, Texans fans can’t be happy with 1/28 ILB LSU Analysis: After struggling on the offensive line a year ago, Houston’s off-season so far. Grade: C- 2/55 J.K. Dobbins RB Ohio State the new Browns staff got QB Baker Mayfeld some help in Indianapolis Colts: 3/71 DT Texas A&M free agency in RT Jack Conklin and then drafted a starting RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 3/92 WR Texas LT in Jedrick Wills who we had graded as the best OT in the 2/34 Michael Pittman Jr. WR USC 3/98 ILB Ohio State class. The Browns met another position of need in getting 2/41 Jonathan Taylor RB Wisconsin 3/106 OT Mississippi State Safety Grant Delpit in the 2nd round and keep an eye of TE 3/85 S Utah 4/143 G Michigan Bryant and WR Peoples-Jones who we thought were solid 4/122 QB Washington 5/170 Broderick Washington DT Texas Tech value picks. This was a really solid class. Grade: A- 5/149 G Ball State 6/201 WR SMU Dallas Cowboys: 6/193 Robert Windsor DT Penn State 7/219 S Iowa RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 6/211 CB UMass Analysis: Some franchises just “get” the Draft year after 1/17 CeeDee Lamb WR Oklahoma 6/212 WR Washington State year and Baltimore is certainly on that short list of teams. 2/51 Trevon Diggs CB Alabama 6/213 OLB Michigan ILB Patrick Queen at No. 28 flled a position of need and 3/82 Neville Gallimore DT Oklahoma Analysis: The Colts dealt their frst round pick to San Fran- we felt Queen was a Top 20 overall player. We had RB J.K. 4/123 Reggie Robinson II CB Tulsa cisco for DT DeForest Buckner. However, the Colts got a Dobbins graded as a Top 30 overall player and Baltimore 4/146 Tyler Biadasz C Wisconsin couple of frst-round talents at the skill position in WR Mi- got him in the late 2nd.

This was our Analysis: The Cowboys certainly needed more help on a solid value pick in the 4th round. This was another solid favorite 2020 NFL Draft Class. Grade: A+ defense than offense. However, Dallas went with the best class for a playoff contender. Grade: B Buffalo Bills: overall player on the board by taking WR CeeDee Lamb at Jacksonville Jaguars: RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE No. 17 and we think it was a great pick. We also think they RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 2/54 AJ Epenesa DE Iowa got value with their 2nd and 3rd round picks and one of 1/9 CJ Henderson CB Florida 3/86 Zack Moss RB Utah our favorite picks of the entire draft was the Cowboys 5th 1/20 K’Lavon Chaisson OLB LSU 4/128 Gabriel Davis WR UCF round selection of Bradlee Anae who we had graded No. 79 2/42 Jr. WR Colorado 5/167 Jake Fromm QB Georgia overall. This was one of the best draft classes. Grade: A 3/73 Davon Hamilton DT Ohio State 6/188 Tyler Bass K Georgia Southern Denver Broncos: 4/116 G St. John’s (MN) 6/207 Isaiah Hodgins WR Oregon State RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 4/137 Josiah Scott CB Michigan State 7/239 Dane Jackson CB Pittsburgh 1/15 WR Alabama 4/140 ILB Miami Analysis: Obviously, the Bills traded away their frst round 2/46 KJ Hamler WR Penn State 5/157 S Auburn pick in the Stefon Diggs deal. However, Buffalo got a frst 3/77 CB Iowa 5/165 WR Texas round type of talent with their 2nd round pick of DE A.J. 3/83 III C LSU 6/189 QB Oregon State Epenesa. He flls a position of need after they lost their two 3/95 McTelvin Agim DT Arkansas 6/206 TE Georgia Tech leading sackers from 2019.

The Part of this grade refects getting Diggs. Grade: B- 7/252 WR Florida Jags got a really good one in CJ Henderson who will start Carolina Panthers: 7/254 DE North Dakota St right away. Jacksonville is also dealing with another player RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE Analysis: The Broncos needed help at WR and they certain- issue in Yannick Ngakoue. The Jags might have drafted his 1/7 Derrick Brown DT Auburn ly addressed it by taking Jerry Jeudy and KJ Hamler with replacement in OLB K’Lavon Chaisson who was the best 2/38 Yetur Gross-Matos DE Penn State their frst two selections. Jeudy was the best route-runnder pass rusher on LSU last year. If healthy, Laviska Shenault 2/64 Jeremy Chinn S Southern Illinois in the class while Hamler is a burner. We thought Broncos could turn into a quality starter. Grade: B 4/113 Troy Pride Jr. CB Notre Dame reached with their selection of CB Michael Ojemudia in the Kansas City Chiefs: 5/152 Kenny Robinson S West Virginia 3rd round and we thought they would address the offensive RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 6/184 Bravvion Roy DT Baylor line. Keep an eye out on TE Albert Okwuegbunam who 1/32 Clyde Edwards-Helaire RB LSU 7/221 Stantley Thomas-Oliver CB FIU could be a future starter. Grade: B 2/63 Jr. ILB Mississippi State Analysis: Carolina needed a lot of help on the defensive Detroit Lions: 3/96 OT TCU side of the ball and new head coach Matt Rhule certainly RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE 4/138 L’Jarius Sneed S Louisiana Tech addressed that by taking all defensive players with their 1/3 CB Ohio State 5/177 DE Michigan seven picks. We felt the Panthers got value on each of their 2/35 D’Andre Swift RB Georgia 7/237 Thakarius Keyes CB Tulane frst four picks as all 4 guys could end up starting for them 3/67 OLB Notre Dame Analysis: With only six picks and drafting late in each led by Derrick Brown who was the best DT in the class. 3/75 Jonah Jackson G Ohio State round, it was going to be tough for the Chiefs to get a high Yes, Carolina is rebuilding in 2020 but the future looks 4/121 G Kentucky grade.

Follow Brad 5/163 CB Georgia Southern Detroit easily got the best CB in the class in Jeff Okudah. 5/173 WR Tulane On Day 2, the Lions got the best RB in the class in D’Andre 7/226 OT Colorado Swift.

They certainly addressed it with 3/101 TE Virginia Tech However, we think WR Chase Claypool will contribute their frst two picks getting the fastest player in the draft in 5/159 K Marshall immediately and Alex Highsmith was highly productive WR Henry Ruggs. However, we felt they reached for CB 6/182 G Michigan at Charlotte. Remember, the Steelers got All-Pro Minkah Damon Arnette. The Raiders took two more WR’s in the 3rd 6/195 OT Wake Forest Fitzpatrick for their frst-rounder in this class.

The Chargers traded their Day 2 3/105 TE Dayton 1/27 ILB Texas Tech picks to get ILB Kenneth Murray in the frst round. We felt 7/240 Tommy Stevens QB Mississippi State 2/48 Darrell Taylor DE Tennessee they should have addressed the OL.

They did the best they could 4/133 Colby Parkinson TE Stanford RD/PK NAME POS COLLEGE as they got a starter in Center Cesar Ruiz with their frst 4/144 DeeJay Dallas RB Miami 2/52 RB Florida State round pick and then in our opinion got great value with 5/148 Alton Robinson DE Syracuse 2/57 WR Florida each of their third picks in OLB Baun and TE Trautman. 6/214 Freddie Swain WR Florida 3/84 Terrell Lewis OLB Alabama The Saints want to win now and they got three players who 7/251 Stephen Sullivan TE LSU 3/104 S Utah could contribute immediately.
