2020 NFL Draft: Patriots find a QB of the future in two-round mock draft
Scouting Report. Henry Ruggs III. player. 45. Pick Analysis. Wide Receiver. Alabama. 15
John Elway and the Denver Broncos just may have found themselves a quarterback in 2019 second-round pick Drew Lock. This kid can absolutely launch the ball downfield. But he is still very inexperienced at this point in his career.
Henry Ruggs III is a guy that can help Lock in both aspects. There likely isn’t a single player in the 2020 NFL Draft that is faster than Ruggs. He can blow right by corners and take the top off of any defense in the NFL, allowing Lock to utilize his incredible arm. And thriving turning short throws into big plays, Ruggs would be a bit of a security blanket for the young QB to dump it off to.
To be picked in the top half of the first round, you have to be more than just fast. Ruggs has outstanding hands and a knack for finding soft spots in the defense to settle into. If you have seen the videos of Ruggs playing basketball you would see his athleticism and leaping ability on full display, as the six-footer completed some eye-popping dunks on the hardwood.
Denver already has a great, young receiver in Courtland Sutton. Ruggs would be a luxury addition that would bring a different dynamic to a young and up-and-coming offense. New offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur would love to scheme up some plays for a playmaker like Henry Ruggs III.
EDGE. K'Lavon Chaisson. 16. player. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. LSU. 44
K’Lavon Chaisson is a very polarizing prospect. There seems to be at least one of these types of guys in every draft. An edge rushing prospect with some question marks but a sky-high ceiling at the next level.
Chaisson has proven to be a very versatile player in his time at LSU, occasionally dropping in zone coverage and even matching up in man coverage against tight ends and receivers. But if he continues to fill out his ideal frame, Chaisson has the traits to develop into a top tier defensive end in the NFL.
The Falcons have invested in these types of players before in Vic Beasley and Tak McKinley with mixed results. With Adrian Clayborn and Beasley both free agents this offseason, and McKinley already one year away from his rookie contract expiring, Atlanta may look to reshape their defensive front. Chaisson has a boatload of potential and could develop into one of the best edge presences in the NFL.
