With the 2020 NFL Draft just around the corner, teams have fine-tuning their final pecking order regarding this year's top prospects. It appears Florida cornerback CJ Henderson and Georgia offensive tackle Andrew Thomas have seen their draft stock increase.
According to Peter Schrager of Fox Sports, both Henderson and Thomas are generating buzz as bonafide top-10 picks in this year's draft:
Two names — neither are shockers — that are getting far more Top 10 buzz than they were a month ago at Combine:
1. CJ Henderson, CB, Florida
2. Andrew Thomas, OT, Georgia
The restrictions placed by the NFL in response to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) has prevented teams from doing their due diligence in person over the last month. Regardless, it seems this has not prevented them from establishing themselves as early picks in the first round.
Thomas may come as the less surprising of the two considering he had generated plenty of hype as the anchor of Georgia's offensive line. There are also a number of teams in the top 10 of the NFL Draft that need to fortify their protection up front for their young, franchise quarterbacks. It will ultimately come down to how they rank him in comparison to other notable offensive line prospects such as Iowa's Tristian Wirfs and Alabama's Jedrick Wills.
Meanwhile, Henderson appears to be more of a darkhorse to land in the top 10 of the NFL Draft after emerging as one of the most talented defensive backs in the draft. It will be interesting to see if he joins Ohio State's Jeff Okudah as the first two cornerbacks off the board early on.
