The 2020 NFL Draft class brings us a loaded crop of wide receivers, with Clemson's Tee Higgins among them. Higgins projects to be a late first- to early second-round pick, but there's likely to be quite a few teams competing for his services.

With that in mind, let's take a look at some expert predictions for Higgins' landing spot in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Tee Higgins Draft Projection

Bleacher Report
Matt Miller, of Bleacher Report, has Higgins going to the Houston Texans with the No. 40 overall selection in the second round.

CBS Sports
Ryan Wilson, of CBS Sports, has the Baltimore Ravens picking Higgins with the No. 28 overall selection in the first round.

Mel Kiper Jr.
Mel Kiper Jr., of ESPN, has the most faith in Higgins, projecting the Las Vegas Raiders to select him with their second first-round pick at No. 19 overall.

USA Today
Luke Easterling, of USA Today's Draftwire, comes in with the lowest projection thus far, calling for the New York Jets to draft Higgins with the No. 48 overall pick in the second round.

Walter Football
Walter Cherepinsky, of Walter Football, shares the exact same opinion as Easterling, also projecting the New York Jets to draft Higgins with the No. 48 overall pick in the second round.

FanDuel Sportsbook
Higgins' assortment of NFL Draft prop bet odds, according to FanDuel Sportsbook, help narrow a realistic projection range for the former Tiger's landing spot. Higgins is currently facing -134 odds of being drafted in the first round, but he is also looking at +290 odds of being drafted after LSU's Justin Jefferson, who has -700 odds of being drafted in the first round and a draft projection over/under of 21.5. Notably, Higgins is also the favorite to be the Indianapolis Colts' first draft selection with the No. 34 overall pick too. Blending all of those factors together, Higgins should fall somewhere between the No. 22 and No. 34 overall picks.

First Round
- Raiders (No. 19)
- Ravens (No. 28)

Second Round
- Texans (No. 40)
- Jets (No. 48)
- Jets (No. 48)

While these predictions offer a relatively wide range, Higgins appears most likely to be drafted between the late first and mid-second round. Among the five experts highlighted above, the lone consensus for Higgins met with the Jets at the No. 48 overall pick.
