15 SEC players projected to go in Round 1 of Matt Miller's way-too-early 2020 NFL Mock Draft
The 2019 NFL Draft just ended, but already, a number of analysts are releasing early 2020 mock drafts.
On Monday, Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller released his early mock, and it is absolutely loaded with SEC prospects.
As you can see below, Miller has a whopping 15 SEC players in the first round, with an incredible eight Alabama players hearing their names called:
- No. 4 — Jake Fromm, QB, Georgia — Cincinnati Bengals
- No. 5 — Andrew Thomas, OL, Georgia — Arizona Cardinals
- No. 6 — Grant Delpit, DB, LSU — Buffalo Bills
- No. 7 — Jerry Jeudy, WR, Alabama — Detroit Lions
- No. 8 — Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama — Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- No. 9 — Dylan Moses, LB, Alabama — Oakland Raiders
- No. 11 — Derrick Brown, DL, Auburn — Denver Broncos
- No. 15 — Raekwon Davis, DL, Alabama — Atlanta Falcons
- No. 16 — Trevon Diggs, DB, Alabama — San Francisco 49ers
- No. 17 — K’Lavon Chaisson, EDGE, LSU — Baltimore Ravens
- No. 18 — Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama — Seattle Seahawks
- No. 19 — Terrell Lewis, EDGE, Alabama — Houston Texans
- No. 20 — CJ Henderson, DB, Florida — Minnesota Vikings
- No. 24 — Anfernee Jennings, EDGE, Alabama — Indianapolis Colts
- No. 27 — Richard LeCounte, DB, Georgia — Cleveland Browns
Obviously, a lot can (and will) change between now and next April, but there are a ton of talented players in the SEC this season, so it should be an exciting year to watch.
It’s like they don’t even know Brian Edwards exist I’m not surprised though everything South Carolina seems to go under the radar
If Deebo wasn’t quite a first rounder, what has Edwards done to make himself one?
Stayed healthy which was deebo’s biggest drawl back plus Bryan has the build that NFL scouts look for
Fair points, but has he been as consistent? Does he have value as a returner?
How does he fare against the best?
Most of Deebo’s production came as the #1 guy; can Edwards keep it up when the focus is on him?
He could end up as a first rounder, but I’m not sure he’s there yet. I don’t think he’s above Jeudy or Ruggs right now, and there are a lot of great WR talent eligible next year, many of whom will get more help from their QB.
Edwards has shown some flashes as a returner as far as him being the number one guy while Deebo was not on the field he spent the majority of his career without Deebo and if he has a season anything like what he’s had in recent years he’s probably going to leave South Carolina with the most receiving yards in South Carolina history dudes been a stud since he stepped on campus
Not sure how he’s spent most of his career without Deebo, but if all of that’s true, then he has a chance.
If you look at the full list via the link, there are already several WRs, and that isn’t a position that typically has a lot of draftees in the first round. And some of them play in better situations than Edwards. But if he shows up against teams like UGA, Bama, UF, & Clemson, a good combine could give him a shot. I just don’t think an unbiased projection would have him there yet.
This is obviously way too early to take too seriously, but it’s crazy that 2 top 5 teammates doesn’t even register because of eight(!) first round teammates.
Regardless of how the teams do, you can count on those schools (UGA, LSU, UA, AU, UF) to have some talented players.
If I catch your theme — yearly, by extension .– one should have Clemson’s entire defensive front and maybe an LB or corner, Oklahoma’s QB and leading receiver, an Ohio State RB, QB, and edge, USC and Michigan’s one great player and on and on and on among the draft eligible. Combined with the usual-suspects 5 Sec teams, that should be about 32.
This is why the draft is not dynamic in general. And why Belichick dumped all but one of his drafted players and why a rookie UDFA went to the Pro Bowl from Denver last year (among 6 on their roster).

God a’mighty, that looks beautiful.
Gotta love meaningless rankings six months before the season.
I guess Kalija Lipscomb and Jared Pinkney have to prove doubters again this year why they are in top WR and TE statistically. I guess because it’s Vandy.
Lol what? They are good don’t get me wrong but day 1?
But they’re not…
They probably aren’t day 1. But, KirbySmart, you’re wrong they are.
Agreed got to give credit where it’s due
Off-season click fodder. Analysts can’t get the draft right the week before, let alone a year out. Darts and a dart board. A very big dart board.
Very true. You could have just as well said, the day before the draft, and it would have been just as true.
I can honestly say its realistic. I said we may have the best passing offense ever at Alabama last year. Top to bottom this will definitely be a better team. A little on O. Moderately better on Spec Teams and better on D with a world more depth. LMMFAO but, sad to say, can we make a 20 yard field goal?
Sorry,dont see a top to bottom better team.Oline wont be as good.Offensive skill positions should be great tho.Pathetic schedule is the main thing they have going for them.Not sure how losing all those underclassmen improves depth, but ok..
Nothing against him, but why is Trevon Diggs considered above CJ Henderson, much less a first rounder?
