Mel Kiper Jr. praises Alabama's Anfernee Jennings, reveals where he should be drafted
The 2020 NFL Draft will take place next week, and Alabama LB Anfernee Jennings will almost certainly hear his name called at some point.
The question is — will it be on Day 2 or Day 3 of the event? ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. recently weighed in on Jennings’ potential during a podcast.
Kiper said he thinks Jennings would be a great value pick in Round 4 or Round 5 of the draft (via 247Sports):
“Anfernee Jennings is a smart football player,” Kiper said in a recent podcast. “He’s got dual versatility. He’s 256 pounds. Decent arm length. But he was just highly productive. And he smells out plays. He’s got really good diagnostic ability. I think as maybe a fourth- or fifth-round guy, Jennings will be a nice pickup.”
Rounds 4 and 5 will take place on Day 3 of the draft next Saturday. Will Jennings be on the board still? Or, will someone make the leap and take him on Day 2?
