Jerry Jeudy | WR | Alabama

Stop if you’ve heard this before, Alabama has an explosive receiver coming out that’s going to be a first-round pick. From Julio Jones to Amari Cooper, to now Jerry Jeudy. Jeudy is projected to go around picks 7–15, so he will be in range for the Colts. If the Colts were to pass on a QB at 13, Jeudy could provide that jolt that the offense lacked from its receiver group in 2019.

Jeudy has lighting fast speed, running a 4.46 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. If you’ve seen the highlights, you’ve seen Jeudy’s ability to separate from defenders when he gets the ball in his hands, and his YAC ability would be greatly used in the Frank Reich West Coast scheme. The lone knock of Jeudy is his drops, sometimes he looks to make the next move before making the catch. But even that is really nitpicking an elite wide receiver prospect.
