Henry Ruggs III to Broncos? Mel Kiper Jr. has Denver selecting Alabama WR in first NFL mock draft.

If Mel Kiper’s first NFL mock draft is on the money, Drew Lock could have another deep threat on his hands next fall.

The longtime NFL draft expert has the Broncos selecting Alabama wide receiver Henry Ruggs III with the 15th overall pick in the upcoming draft — giving the Broncos a complementary piece to Courtland Sutton on the outside.

A 6-foot, 190-pound early entry prospect, Ruggs may very well be the fastest wide receiver in an incredibly deep 2020 class. A year ago, he reportedly posted a 40 time in the 4.25-second range during the Tide’s junior pro day.
