Peter King Predicts Jerry Jeudy Will Drop to Broncos in Best-Case Scenario for John Elway
By Michael Luciano
The main priority for the Denver Broncos in the 2020 NFL Draft should be surrounding Drew Lock with some bona fide studs at wide receiver. The three top receivers in this class, Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb and a pair of Alabama stars in Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs, would become instant starters opposite Courtland Sutton.
According to Peter King in his latest mock draft, the Broncos might be able to land one of those three without trading up, as Jeudy falls to them at pick No. 15.
There are some concerns about Jeudy's slight frame and how he will respond to press coverage at the next level, but what can't be denied is the fact that he is the best route-runner in this draft class by a wide margin.
Jeudy's three biggest positive attributes are his route-running, football savvy and hands, which are often times negatives for talented receivers coming into the league. If he is there at No. 15, he will be the pick.
Any of the top three wide receivers being available for Denver at pick No. 15 would be a tremendously favorable outcome for John Elway's squad, but one with the college production and tantalizing traits to become a Pro Bowler right out of the gate in Jeudy landing at pick No. 15 is something Denver won't be able to pass up.
