2020 ACC Big Board
We have a good amount of movement on the big board this week, highlighted by the rise of North Carolina linebacker Chazz Surratt. Onto some quick hits.
-Chazz Surratt continues to rise after having two consecutive monster performances landing him on the “ACC Draft Stars” list. He has rare athleticism and plays with tremendous instincts.
-Clemson offensive linemen Tremayne Anchrum has played very well in 2019 and continues to rise up the big board. He is the leader of a very good Clemson offensive line and his skill-set should kick him inside to guard in the NFL. His game is reminiscent of that of Branden Albert while at Virginia.
-North Carolina defensive tackle, Jason Strowbridge, makes his debut on the list. Strowbridge was stout against the run in Week 9 and even contributed 1.5 sacks. He has a home in the NFL as a rotational player with the ability to be a spot-starter.
-Other first-timers on the list are Virginia linebacker Zane Zandier and Pittsburgh safety Damar Hamlin. Zandier has taken on an escalated role in the Virginia defense and thrived. While he isn’t as highly-touted as his teammates Jordan Mack and Charles Snow, Zandier is no slouch and has a solid 2019 season. Hamlin is another good 2020 NFL draft prospect at the safety position coming out of the ACC.
-Alton Robinson is on the verge of falling down the board if he doesn’t elevate his play in the near future. Robinson entered the 2019 season marked as a top-50 draft prospect; however, his play in 2019 has been underwhelming.
