2020 class · 17 prospects

Guard G

Same inputs as tackle, with slightly more emphasis on Senior Bowl + Pro Day testing.

Likeliest career, by the outcome model.

How many guards land in each career bucket as the model's single most likely finish. This is a different question from the board grades below — a prospect can be a Day 3 grade and still have “starter” as his likeliest outcome. The tails (elite, bust) are where the model separates; the middle two buckets sit close to a coin flip.

The board.

All 17 guards with a draftable grade on Draftanomics's 2020 board, tier by tier.

Blue Chip0 players

The top shelf is bare: no guard in the 2020 class earns a blue-chip grade.

1st Round0 players

Nobody here. The class simply skips the first-round tier at guard.

Day 29 players

The Day 2 tier runs 9 deep, opening with Damien Lewis out of LSU at No. 35 and closing with Danny Pinter at No. 104. No cliff at the bottom, either: Logan Stenberg is 2 projected picks behind Pinter. Inside the tier, the model's fight is Damien Lewis: it says No. 35, the room says No. 159.
