Henry Ruggs-WR-Bama | Page 6 | 49ers Webzone Forum

Sorry, got tired of waiting for Hero to quit messing around with this. Now that the 49ers have got #13, Ruggs is a likely target. He fits all the parameters of what Shanahan looks for in a WR and brings blistering homerun speed to the table. He's like the Bill Gates version of what Shanahan was hoping for from Goodwin. Defenses would have to honor his speed down the field and he's a threat to house it from anywhere on the field. Before the Buckner trade he was just a curiosity, now he's a realistic option. Alabama's Henry Ruggs wins the valuable routes in the NFL, creates separation at the intermediate and deep areas of the field. He's also an underrated route-runner with strong ball skills and YAC ability.Top-10 talent in the 2020 class, hands down.pic.twitter.com/Rcp4HwZdxI— Austin Gayle (@PFF_AustinGayle) March 11, 2020Top-3 WRs in YAC entering the #NFLDraft• Brandon Aiyuk 9.9• Henry Ruggs 9.0• CeeDee Lamb 8.8pic.twitter.com/W1mGLB6OXZ— Hogg (@HoggNFL) March 11, 2020Great example for WRs...watch Henry Ruggs. Perhaps the fastest player in college football last year. He gets NORTH AND SOUTH. No unnecessary moves, no dancing. Just beats the defenders with speed #Athlete #STT pic.twitter.com/IP2nxfgrBR— Specialized Technique Training (@STT_Football) March 14, 2020When it comes to @AlabamaFTBL receiver Henry Ruggs III, all he needs is a few inches of daylight. This is may seem like a simple slant route, but his world-class speed takes over and the result is inevitable. #NFLDraft #Colts #Titans #Eagles #Bears #Saints #Jets #Giants pic.twitter.com/WgvsPtHaLg— Black and Gold Nation (@B_GNation1) March 9, 2020

Yeah I already posted that, welcome to yesterday, try to keep up.

I just realized the Niners already met with Ruggs. If they bring him in for a visit to Santa Clara, it's a wrap, folks. But that's assuming visits are still happening with the corona virus stuff.

It's not. Geez you live under a rock? Welcome to yesterday like Phoenix said

Yes Henry Ruggs is a special athlete and potentially great WR, but what makes him a truly elite prospect is what he does WITHOUT the ball in his hands.

Makes everyone around him better. https://t.co/ofBr41u8oz

Love this. This really sold.me on the guy. Love the hustle. Sealing a block 30 yards down field and taking the guy out of bounds. Excited about potentially picking this guy up

this, you know a guy has to wanna block in Kyle's system. Im like 90% sure hes the pick at 13, feels good to be excited about the draft again and potentially finally picking a game changer early

There's a good chance he will be since most reports have Jeudy rated a little higher. There will probably be 3 QBs, 2 or 3 tackles, 1 DE and 1 d tackle taken That would be 9 players right there. The Raiders could grab him just before we pick since they always draft fast receivers.

If Al Davis was still alive I bet Ruggs easily is a Raider

He would trade up to the top 3 to grab him.

Got to have Simmons and Okudah in that mix also.

I like a guy because he was good speed and not afraid the football play

I think at minimum, these guys are all gone:

Burrow
Tua
Young
Simmons
Okudah
Brown
Wirfs

As far as 100% gone, I agree. The next five picks will be interesting.

This guy is Kyle's target. It's as obvious as deebo last year.

At least two more OTs will be added to that list imo out of Wills, Becton and Thomas.

Raiders may want to go QB. Carr is one of the softest QBs out there.
