The 2020 NFL Draft class is loaded with top talent and wide receiver may be the best position group of the bunch. Looking ahead to next year, here are five prospects who could become first-round picks.

The passing game is becoming more and more important in today’s NFL, thus making the receiver position more valuable. But in order to succeed in the passing game, teams need more than just one go-to-guy. The 2020 NFL Draft will be a treasure trove for clubs looking to expand their receiver room.

Last year’s wide receiver class was loaded with talent, but there were concerns with some of the top guys.

D.K. Metcalf (Seahawks) had a checkered injury and questionable route-running while Marquise Brown was coming off of a foot injury and was undersized.

There are far fewer concerns and red flags with the prospects at the top of the 2020 class. Here is a look at five players who help make up one of the best receiver classes in recent draft history.
