6. Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

If you’re not aware of Henry Ruggs III‘s upside, then you need to get with the program. Although he wasn’t even the top target at Alabama, he’s looking like a potential sparkplug at the next level with a ceiling similar to that of Tyreek Hill.

Yes, his speed and explosiveness are simply that undeniable. He’s a game-changer with the pigskin in his hands, using agility and acceleration to leave defenders in his dust. Wherever Ruggs ends up, some offensive coordinator is going to be very happy with the flexibility he brings to their game plan.

Right now, the belief is Ruggs should come off the board somewhere in the No. 10-20 range. A lot is going to depend on when the other top receivers are drafted, but either way someone is going to get themselves a tremendous playmaker in the passing game.

Look for Ruggs to put up big numbers as a rookie, both as a receiver and gadget player capable of turning end-arounds into six points. The former Crimson Tide star may not be the top option out wide right away, but he still figures to make his mark on the NFL early on.
