Las Vegas Raiders get: 9th overall pick
Scouting Report. WR. Alabama. 28. Pick Analysis. Henry Ruggs III. 9. player
We have a trade!
The Las Vegas Raiders make some noise here by moving up to get the most dynamic playmaker at the wide receiver position in this year’s draft — Henry Ruggs III.
Although many people believe that the top two receivers in the 2020 NFL Draft are Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb or Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy, Ruggs is quickly becoming recognized by the masses as the preferred WR1.
His speed is so rare, but Ruggs has excellent play strength, route running abilities, leaping abilities, after the catch vision, and strong hands in traffic.
This is not a track athlete who plays football. This is a bonafide star at wide receiver who scored one out of every four times (25 touchdowns, on 100 total touches) in three seasons at Alabama.
The Raiders pay the price of a late third-round pick to move up three spots and get him with the Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles, and other teams lurking behind.
