Jeudy, Lamb Slip
It shouldn’t have surprised too many people when Alabama’s Henry Ruggs III was the first wide receiver off the board, but it was unexpected to see his Crimson Tide teammate Jerry Jeudy, and Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb, slip as far down the board as they did.
Despite both having complete skill sets and top-10 overall talent in this year’s draft class, Jeudy and Lamb both nearly fell out of the top 15. Jeudy landed with the Denver Broncos at No. 15 overall, while Lamb slid all the way to the Dallas Cowboys at No. 17 overall.
These two players are polished, pro-ready pass-catchers who can immediately be No. 1 targets, but they landed with teams that don’t even need that from them right now. The rest of the league will regret letting this happen, but Broncos and Cowboys fans will be loving it for years to come.
