Denver Broncos 2020 mock draft: Trading up for Henry Ruggs

Red alert: back to back wide receiver picks.

Courtland Sutton. Henry Ruggs. Noah Fant. Jalen Reagor.

Now just imagine if the Broncos could open up the money bags for someone like Derrick Henry in free agency…

In order to compete with the Kansas City Chiefs for the foreseeable future, the Denver Broncos have to outscore the Kansas City Chiefs at least once or twice out of potentially three tries (playoffs) every year.

Adding a playmaker like Jalen Reagor after Henry Ruggs back-to-back in the same draft class seems like overkill, but the Broncos can’t mess around. They have money to spend on the defensive side of the ball in free agency, and players like Ruggs and Reagor add desperately needed speed, quickness, and big play ability to the offense.

If the Broncos were to actually pull this off come draft weekend it would be outstanding.

It’s hard to figure out how a target share would work between those four guys in the passing game, but does that really matter at this point?

The fact of the matter is, having Henry Ruggs and Jalen Reagor added to the offensive weaponry helps make it easier for the Broncos to score more points. Those are guys who can score from anywhere on the field.

Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant, no one else in the Broncos’ passing game is capable of such a thing.

Adding Reagor and Ruggs would give the Broncos a wide variety of personnel groupings to make life tough on opposing defenses.
