The NFL Draft has come and gone for the 2020 season. For the most part, there weren't too many surprises outside of Jordan Love to the Packers and Jalen Hurts to the Eagles. Most teams stuck with their game plans and got their guys. First rounds are usually the easy part for NFL teams. The tough part is finding players outside the first round who can make an immediate impact. Here is a list of five players picked outside the first round who could be potential stars.
Potential Stars: Cam Akers, RB, LA Rams: Round 2, Pick 52

The most excitement fans see from the NFL Draft is when teams trade their picks to each other. It builds suspense on who a team will take and what they gave up for the pick. This year, teams like the Lions, Giants, Browns, and Cardinals might be thinking about a trade.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler had posted on Twitter Tuesday that at least three teams could trade down.

Could a team draft a quarterback in the first round two years in a row? Apparently, the New York Giants might be taking a look at Justin Herbert.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Monday that Giants head coach Joe Judge has had FaceTime conversations with Herbert.

It's a bit of a surprise to many that they are even looking at a quarterback since they drafted Daniel Jones last April. Quarterback is not a desperate need for the team since they signed Colt McCoy to be the backup.

With the 2020 NFL Draft right around the corner, teams are putting the final touches on their draft boards. While this draft will be different, being conducted virtually, there's still the same intrigue. Here's a look at some of the NFC East Draft Notes.
Draft Notes: Washington Redskins
Redskins holds the No. 2 overall pick, but nothing again until pick No. 66 in the third round. They also hold two fourths, a fifth and two sevenths.
Kenny Stills might be on Washington's radar, according to Aaron Reis of the Athletic. They released WR Paul Richardson, but added Cody Latimer in free agency.
Surprisingly,...
The New York Giants are a franchise in transition. The club transitioned from two-time Super Bowl Champion quarterback Eli Manning to rookie Daniel Jones in 2019. The Giants also transitioned away from head coach Pat Shurmur and brought in Joe Judge, as well as new coordinators. The Giants draft will help transition the team to the future.
Giants Draft Needs
The New York Giants finished 2019 4-12, but managed to win two of their last three. Some complained those meaningless wins shouldn't have happened, and that they played themselves away from a transformative talent in Chase Young.
Despite a clear need at...
Today, we move onto the NFC and we’ll be starting with the worst (or maybe even the best depending on what way you look at it) division in the NFL this season…the NFC East.
Two teams are likely to be picking in the top-5 in April’s draft in the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. They've both been working in rookie quarterbacks this season, and both could do with a massive helping hand from Santa this Christmas.
The other two teams, the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys, are battling it out to win the division. Both teams have their issues,...
