In this episode of Gridiron East, Michael V. Jones and Donald R. Elder recap the 2020 NFL Draft and give their analysis on how the NFC East teams fared. The NFC East historian, Michael V. Jones, was thrilled with the Dallas Cowboys draft. He wasn't ready to compare it to the 2016 class that included Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, and Jaylon Smith to name a few. The big prize of the day for the Cowboys was Cee Dee Lamb, WR out of Oklahoma. Jonesy regarded Lamb as the top receiver in the draft. The Washington Redskins defense improved with the addition of Ohio State "generational talent" Chase Young. The Redskins will expect All-Pro production out of their 2nd overall pick. The skins also added a couple Antonio weapons at receiver with Gandy-Golden and Gibson; also an interesting OL prospect out of LSU, Shaadiq Charles.David Gettleman made a couple solid picks for the Giants in the first two rounds. They brought in their LT of the future in Georgia standout, Andrew Thomas, who should make room for Saquon Barkley and protect the blindside of hopeful franchise QB, Daniel Jones. The other standout pick was Alabama safety, Xavier McKinney, who should start right away. The Eagles took a pair of Jalens with their 1st and 2nd picks. The first was well received by most; Jalen Reagor is a home run hitting threat at receiver. It was the next pick that had Jonesy scratching his head. The Eagles opted to take QB, Jalen Hurts, out of Oklahoma (also former Alabama QB) with their second round pick rather than fill other holes on offense.
