29. New Orleans Saints: Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

Slightly overshadowed by fellow Crimson Tide wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, Henry Ruggs III possesses incredible speed and game-breaking ability that make him an outstanding NFL Draft prospect in his own right. His play style fits perfectly into what the New Orleans Saints value as a complementary piece in players such as Kenny Stills and Ted Ginn Jr. over recent years.

With Michael Thomas already in the fold, Ruggs’ playmaking speed would be a perfect complement to the physical style of Thomas. While complementary early on, Ruggs has the high upside to eventually evolve into a WR1 option for a team.

30. Kansas City Chiefs: Nick Coe, DE/DT, Auburn

With what is still an underwhelming secondary for the Kansas City Chiefs, they must be able to consistently affect the quarterback. At pick 29, the Chiefs are able to add a versatile pass rusher who possesses the size (6-5, 282 pounds) and athletic traits to play several spots on the defensive line.

Look for Coe to continue to progress off of an eye-opening 2018 season, evolving to be a potentially even more coveted prospect for the 2020 NFL Draft.
