In his pre-combine 2020 NFL mock draft for Touchdown Wire, Doug Farrar has the Denver Broncos selecting Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy with the 15th overall pick in the first round.
Farrar believes Broncos general manager John Elway will want to give young quarterback Drew Lock more weapons to work with. Here’s part of Farrar’s commentary with the pick:
Wide receiver Courtland Sutton has become a legit No. 1 option, and tight end Noah Fant is developing nicely, but adding Jeudy, the most technically proficient and toolsy receiver in this draft class, would provide the route awareness to mitigate Lock’s occasional bouts of inaccuracy, and Jeudy has enough downfield speed to catch up to Lock’s fastballs.
Jeudy (6-1, 192 pounds) caught 159 passes for 2,742 yards and 26 touchdowns during his three years with the Crimson Tide. He is widely considered one of the top receivers in this year’s draft class.
