Recapping round one of the 2020 NFL virtual draft

Fox Sports NFL analyst Ronde Barber breaks down the top picks and reacts to Tom Brady reuniting with Rob Gronkowski in Tampa Bay.

The 2020 NFL Draft came and went almost as fast as it arrived.

The draft was one of the most watched programs over the last several years and the NFL was able to raise millions for coronavirus relief in the process.

While most teams hope to hit big with their first-round draft choices, most of their team is going to be made up of players from the middle rounds. Those players are going be hits or misses while some teams will be lucky enough to find players to build around.

Here are some of the players who were among the most underrated selections and who have the opportunity to make a big impact on their teams.
