BetMGM: Bet on the 2020 NFL Draft
1. Jerry Jeudy, Alabama
Size: 6-1, 193
The Good: The type of all-around receiver who can instantly turn into a superstar No. 1 target for any offense, he makes it all look so easy. In a Bama game with several other mouths to feed – and loaded with future NFL wide receiver stars – he was the main guy, catching 145 passes for 2,478 yards and 24 touchdowns over the last two seasons.
Smooth as silk, fast enough with just over 4.4 wheels, and explosive enough to push past any defensive back, he’s special. He obliterated single coverage in college and has almost no issues whatsoever instantly converting to a pro offense.

The Not-So-Good: For everything he did, he left a few big plays on the field. He fought off passes a bit too often, he’s not quite physical enough to consistently handle getting shoved around, and he might not have a passer throwing his way as good as Tua Tagovailoa. He’s going to have to get used to being beaten up a bit.
NFL Draft College Perspective Thought: If it doesn’t work out and if he’s not a regular Pro Bowl-caliber star, it’s not your fault. Yeah, you might like it if he was a bit more of a physical presence, and yeah, he might have to get used to making more tough catches across the middle, but he’s it. He’s what you want in an NFL receiver who takes your offensive to a whole other level.
Projected Round: Top 15 Overall
