Who should be the first WR taken in the draft? - NFL.com

The 2020 NFL Draft (April 23-25) features a DEEP wide receiver class, but there are three players who have separated themselves from the pack: Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III and Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb.

All three wideouts are projected by NFL Network draft experts to be first-round selections, but there’s one lingering question:

Who should be the first wide receiver selected in the draft?

Lamb will make the QB’s job easy

CeeDee Lamb is the total package and has a game that will translate at the next level. The 6-foot-2, 198-pound wideout is an experienced route runner with a catch radius the size of a garage door. The team that picks him will be giving its quarterback an incredible asset and someone who will routinely make plays with the ball in his hands.

Ruggs brings element that can’t be matched

Henry Ruggs is my No. 1 receiver in this year’s draft class simply because he changes the game the most. He brings a different kind of speed that will give defenses major problems — remember, he ran a 4.27-second 40-yard dash at the NFL
Scouting Combine and was
disappointed. He’s like the Cheetah,
Tyreek Hill, but bigger and stronger. That’s a dangerous skill set.
