With the 12th overall pick in the 2020 Bleeding Green Nation community mock draft, Las Vegas Raiders GM Phillysolo selects ...

Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama

The Raiders have been looking for a true outside weapon to complement Derek Carr for some time now, and in 2019 that was thought to be Antonio Brown. We all know how that turned out, what a debacle, but with him it’s not surprising.

With that said Derek Carr has a cannon of an arm and is more accurate than people give him credit for. And he can make the throw downfield to a wide open Henry Ruggs III.

Ruggs is a true burner who can get separation with his acceleration and change up to fastball route speed. His soft reliable hands catch it inside and outside the frame. Shows toughness as a runner with the willingness to drop pads and finish. Also is a talented kick returner as an added bonus, or for when the situation calls.

Can he be the answer to the Antonio Brown vacuum? I don’t know, only time will tell, but it’s a damn good start.
