The Seahawks have selected Stanford tight end Colby Parkinson with the No. 133 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Parkinson has very good size (six-foot-seven) and underrated athleticism, so he is a name to keep tabs on in dynasty leagues, especially considering the injury history of Will Dissly. In 2020, Parkinson will be clearly behind veterans Greg Olsen and Jordan Reed, so significant fantasy value as a rookie is unlikely.

The Bills have selected UCF wide receiver Gabriel Davis with the No. 128 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Davis models his game after Odell Beckham Jr. (even down to the hairstyle), and he could immediately be Buffalo’s No. 4 wide receiver as a rookie. That said, the starters are obviously locked in with Stefon Diggs, John Brown, and Cole Beasley, so Davis is more of a dynasty league stash.

The Jets have selected Florida International quarterback James Morgan with the No. 125 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Morgan started two seasons at Florida International after transferring from Bowling Green, and he combined for a 40:12 touchdown-interception ratio in 2018 and 2019. Overall, he has good size, accuracy, and toughness to be a quality backup quarterback for Sam Darnold, but he will ideally not see the field in New York.

The Steelers have selected Maryland running back Anthony McFarland with the No. 124 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

McFarland is a speed back that could immediately have a role as a change-of-pace option behind James Conner, but we would say the 2020 NFL Draft has played out very well for Pittsburgh’s incumbent starter. Of course, the Steelers have been known to roll with one back in recent years, but we’ll see if some of the timeshare production from last year carries over into 2020 with a three-headed monster of Conner, McFarland, and Benny Snell.

The Colts have selected Washington quarterback Jacob Eason with the No. 122 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Eason is a rocket-armed pocket passer that stands at six-foot-six, and he has a quality chance to become a franchise quarterback under the right tutelage in Indianapolis. The biggest concerns for Eason are ability to make plays when pressured and overall decision-making, but he has flashed enough touch to feel good about developing into a solid starter—especially behind a strong offensive line for the Colts. Dynasty owners are probably better off spending a lottery ticket on a running back or receiver in a deep rookie class, but Eason isn’t a bad investment for those with patience. Our full scouting report on the former Washington quarterback can be viewed in the link below.

The Jets have selected Florida running back Lamical Perine with the No. 120 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Perine had steady production over four years for the Gators, and he is simply a reliable runner that can also impact the passing game. Just last season, Perine caught 40 passes to add value as a prospect, and he could immediately slide in as the No. 2 runner for New York. Fantasy owners should keep him in mind as a handcuff behind Le’Veon Bell, and a strong summer could realistically put him in position to take over as the lead back as soon as 2021.

The Broncos have selected Missouri tight end Albert Okwuegbunam with the No. 118 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Based on tools, Okwuegbunam has as much upside as any tight end in the class (he ran a 4.49 40-yard dash at 258 pounds), but had a disappointing 2019 season that made him available for the Broncos on Day 3. A pairing of the rookie and Noah Fant gives Denver perhaps the most explosive tight end duo in the league, and the weapons clearly won’t be an issue for Drew Lock in 2020 and beyond. It should also help that the incoming rookie was at his best for the Missouri Tigers when Lock was still there slinging the ball around. This will likely be a better real-life add when you consider fantasy outlook, but Okwuegbunam could potentially reach TE1 value in the future if Fant ever goes down.
