2020 NFL Draft: First round

What once seemed like a pipe dream now seems like, dare I say, the most likely scenario.

With Henry Ruggs III blowing people away with his speed as a possible Tyreek Hill-caliber weapon and CeeDee Lamb’s propensity for acrobatic catches and racking up yards after the catch, it is possible that Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy, once thought to be the consensus WR1 in the 2020 NFL Draft, could be the most attainable player for the Denver Broncos.

Lucky for them, he’s a perfect fit for their new (or any) offense.

Jeudy is a tremendous route runner, ready to play and star in the NFL from day one.

While he lacks the flash of a 4.2-something in the 40-yard dash or the crazy body control of a player like Lamb, Jeudy is a technician who can do a little bit of everything for you at the wide receiver spot.

He caught 159 passes in three years at Alabama with 2,742 yards and 26 touchdowns.

This is a player worth John Elway breaking his Alabama fast in the NFL Draft.
