2020 NFL Draft: Clint Lamb’s mock draft 3.0, picks 1-16

Alabama is expected to see several of its former players hear their names called during the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.

15. Denver Broncos – Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

Previous pick: Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

Analysis: As was previously mentioned, it’s tough trying to determine the pecking order for how these top 3 receivers will come off the board. After having Ruggs go ahead of Jeudy in the last mock, I decided to flip them this time around.

I’ve stated several times that seeing Ruggs land in Denver would be one of my favorite scenarios in the draft. The Alabama pass-catcher complements Courtland Sutton and Noah Fant perfectly, and second-year quarterback Drew Lock has the arm strength needed to utilize Ruggs’ deep speed.

Seeing Denver get to stay at No. 15 while still land its target is an ideal situation for fans of the team.
