In Day 2 in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Ravens went with Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins with the 55th selection.
After a record 15 of the 32 players in the first round came from the SEC, another 10 SEC players came off the board in Round 2. Quarterbacks Jacob Eason of Washington and Georgia's Jake Fromm haven't been selected.
On the second day of the NFL draft, the guys who haul in passes were everywhere. Starting with the top two selections on Day 2 - Clemson's Tee Higgins went to Cincinnati, and Southern California's Michael Pittman to Indianapolis - seven wideouts were drafted in the second round. Add that to the six who went in the opening session, and it set an NFL record through two rounds.
Three more receivers were selected in the third round, hinting that teams may be running out of prospects.
The NFL these days is built on passing offenses. This draft is loaded with outstanding pass catchers. Many teams had both Higgins and Pittman rated as top-32 talent.
So Cincinnati held firm atop the second round by grabbing Higgins to catch Joe Burrow's passes. The pair worked out together heading toward the draft. And Higgins idolizes Bengals star receiver A.J. Green.
Pittman takes his 6-foot-4, 224-pound frame to Indianapolis. The Colts had no first-rounder, and they quickly gave new quarterback Philip Rivers a target in Pittman, whose father also played in the NFL.
