Chase Hammes’ 2020 NFL Draft Positional Rankings

The 2020 NFL Combine has come and gone and the craziness that is the free agency has quieted down. Amid virtual pro days and virtual pre-draft visits, big-time rumors are swirling as we quickly approach the 2020 NFL Draft. I have gone back and revisited hours of film to readjust my pre-combine big board and positional rankings for my final positional rankings with predicted round and overall grades. Also, we are in unprecedented times in society right now, I hope everyone stays safe during this time.
