Raiders Take Henry Ruggs III With First First-Round Pick
5 years agoThe Las Vegas Raiders selected Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. It was reported that the Raiders loved Oklahoma's Ceedee Lamb with this pick, but they are going with Ruggs instead. Ruggs is a potential home run threat anytime he catches the football, which is definitely something the Raiders need in the passing game to help complement Tyrell Williams, Hunter Renfrow and tight end Darren Waller. Ruggs is a burner on the field as an elite athlete, and he'll give Las Vegas a true playmaker and No. 1 receiver. Of all the offensive players taken so far in this draft, Ruggs has the most fantasy upside in his rookie season because of his 4.27-second speed.
