13. San Francisco 49ers (trade with Colts) Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama
“No one questions the quality and overall depth of this year’s wide receiver class. However, there are some questions about which prospect will come off the board first.
Alabama’s Henry Ruggs III brings something different than everyone else at the position with 4.27-second 40-yard-dash speed.
“I think he’s the best one in this draft,” an anonymous evaluator told AL.com’s Matt Zenitz. “I’d take him over Jeudy. He’s got a rare trait. When you look at Jerry Jeudy—height, weight, speed—he’s above average pretty much in all those areas. And Ruggs has a rare trait of speed and he’s not your typical speed receiver.”
The San Francisco 49ers’ search for a true No. 1 wide receiver continues this offseason.
Ruggs’ explosive capabilities will make Kyle Shanahan’s offense even more potent because he’ll serve as both a vertical threat and a capable target after the catch.”
