2020 NFL DRAFT TOP 64 With Player Comparisons

It's still kind of early and I have only watched about 277 players so far and I plan on doing about another 150 before the draft is here . Plus I have only watched 4 games on a lot of those guys , especially the underclassmen , and I usually watch at least twice that for a lot of the  players . This is my current top 64 ,because these are guys I have watched a lot of , and I feel pretty comfortable with my assessment of them , although I have to admit that I haven't done a lot of background on their character and injury history's yet . Plus, the medical re-checks, and Pro Days are still to go  . Anyway , this NOT A MOCK DRAFT. It's how I see the players not how I think NFL teams will . I have given early peak NFL players comparisons so you can have an idea of who your team might be getting , and I mean the established NFL players peak if the incoming player reaches their peak , but I will change them if someone more fitting comes to mind down the road . The farther down the board they are the less likely I think they might reach that comp . So if you wonder why I have a comparison to a better player to a guy I have in a later round as compared to a guy I have going high in the first you now know why . He may remind me of a great player if he reaches his ceiling , but it's less likely he reaches that ceiling if he is a lower pick .So for now here they are .Feel free to comment, but please keep it civil and avoid cursing or I just won't post it . Thanks

BLUE CHIP PLAYERS

These are the kind of players that I expect to be perennial Pro - Bowlers , francise cornerstones, and are safe as it gets to take in the top 5.  These guys all have shown consistent growth over their college careers, had a ridiculous final season , or have at least 2 back to back years of good tape .  As always franchise quarterback trumps all, but I don't have one in this group. 

1.JOE BURROW - QB - LSU - LSU - 6"3' , 221
NFL PLAYER COMP - a leaner ANDREW LUCK - retired

2. CHASE YOUNG - DE - OHIO ST. - 6"5" , 264

COULD HAVE BEEN BLUE CHIPPERS

These players all have blue chip talent, but have either injury, off the field or football character, motor concerns , or one flaw that keeps them out of the top tier , or their play declined this year. They could also have limited tape at a big school , or played at a high level at a smaller school , play a devalued position , lack at least one important trait for their position, are very raw , or some combination of any of the questions already mentioned. Whatever keeps them from being a blue chipper still doesn't keep them from being a player I would take in the expensive top 10  . The top 14 Players in this draft are the guys I would be looking to target before the draft, and by that I mean already working out possible trade up scenarios with other teams if i didn't have a pick in that range .The one exception is QB. Also any QB that you have ranked in the first round that fits your scheme is worth a top 10 pick .
