The Patriots have selected Devin Asiasi with the No. 91 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Asiasi had a productive season for Chip Kelly at UCLA in 2019, and he will now join the Patriots to likely be their new No. 1 tight end. Rookies usually have a steep learning curve at the position, so Asiasi probably won’t start as a recommended option in redraft leagues in 2020. However, the long-term upside for the former Bruin is intriguing, and he’ll be someone to keep an eye on early in his NFL career.

The Bills have selected Utah running back Zack Moss with the No. 86 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Moss is a power runner with tremendous contact balance, so Buffalo now has an impressive one-two punch in the backfield with Devin Singletary leading it. The Utah standout is going to be the clear No. 2, but overall, this is a good landing spot for his fantasy value, as the Bills could take another step in 2020 to play from ahead more. For now, consider him a draftable handcuff in redraft leagues.

The Raiders have selected South Carolina wide receiver Bryan Edwards with the No. 81 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Edwards is a tough, physical receiver that played great against SEC competition, so the Raiders have to feel good about this pick on Day 2. Vegas will hope Edwards can step right in and earn a starting job, but a lack of pre-draft buzz may carry over into the fantasy world where the rookie has the potential to be a bargain compared to some of his peers. FLEX value in Year 1 is possible, but the Raiders have a crowded receiving group, and Edwards will have to earn a role. You can read our full scouting report on Edwards via the link below.

The Raiders have selected Lynn Bowden Jr. with the No. 80 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Bowden was a do-it-all athlete for Kentucky that did everything from catch passes to play quarterback, so Jon Gruden certainly has the gears going about how to use him. He was announced as a running back, but Bowden is expected to essentially be an offensive weapon, which could mean more real-life value than fantasy value.

The Buccaneers have selected Ke’Shawn Vaughn with the No. 76 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Vaughn is a north-south slasher coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons for Vanderbilt, and he could immediately challenge Ronald Jones for the lead role in 2020. That said, the incumbent showed flashes last season, so this could come down to whoever Tom Brady trusts more in pass protection and as an underneath outlet as a receiver. The running back situation for Tampa Bay will obviously be one to watch closely this summer.

The Redskins have selected Memphis running back Antonio Gibson with the No. 66 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Gibson is a versatile offensive weapon that can play both running back and wide receiver, but the Redskins interestingly announced him as a running back despite a very crowded group at that position already. The bottom line is probably that Gibson is going to be used in a role that gets the ball in his hands this season (like a Percy Harvin type), which could lead to some Year 1 fantasy value in deeper leagues in particular. Dynasty league owners will hope Gibson can develop into one of the NFL’s top gamebreakers.

The Packers have selected Boston College running back A.J. Dillon with the No. 62 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

This is a somewhat surprising selection with Aaron Jones coming off a breakout campaign, but the powerful rookie will step right in as a short-yardage option for Green Bay. Despite having Aaron Rodgers, the Packers are certainly committed to the running game under Matt LaFleur, and Dillon is immediately a touchdown-dependent FLEX play on one of the NFC’s best teams. Obviously, this pick is a drain on the value of the aforementioned Jones.
