10. Denver Broncos (from CLE)*
Henry Ruggs III | WR | Alabama
The Browns need a left tackle bad, so don’t rule out Louisville’s Mekhi Becton here if they keep the pick. That said, if they get a sweet offer to move back, they could prefer to take the deal and either hope Becton falls to them, or go in a different direction altogether.
The Broncos have a big, physical No. 1 receiver in Courtland Sutton, but he needs a running make with the speed and explosiveness to challenge opposing defenses over the top and take attention away from him. Ruggs has elite track speed, and the big-play ability to have a Tyreek Hill type of impact at the next level.
Speed kills in today’s NFL, so don’t be shocked if the Broncos make Ruggs the first receiver off the board in this year’s loaded class. Denver has three picks in the third round, and could use two two of them (and maybe another pick) to make this move.
