Denver Broncos offense in 2019
3rd down: 30th in the NFL
Redzone: 28th in the NFL

LSU WR Justin Jefferson in 2019
3rd down: 27 targets, 24 receptions, 17 1st downs, 6 TD
12 Redzone TDs (Most among draft eligible WRs)

I'd say this is a pretty good fit.

Lots of love out there for USC WR Michael Pittman, Jr. Wherever he's slotted in your rankings, push him up. Glowing reviews for him all-around. Football DNA, multi-time special teams player of year, and only getting better.

I realize they are different players, but I see a lot of similarities between Pittman and Laquon Treadwell.   Both bigger bodies, not super fast, not a ton of separation from DBs usually, uses size and length to win, good blockers, etc.  Having gotten burned by the Treadwell pick, do you think we will draft someone who has a similar physical profile?   Kubiak has had success with Demaryous Thomas in his offense in the past, it just seems like the quicker, faster, more agile WRs that can more easily create space and separation from DBs would be a better fit. JMHO.

Per source, speedster Tulane WR Darnell Mooney has zoomed with nearly every NFL team along with follow-up.

Hearing Mooney has risen in NFL circles, now in play to potentially go first half of Day 3.

Ran 4.38 in Indy. Pop topper caught in wonky college O. 20.7 YPC as junior.

Reagor just blew up his individual pro day. Anywhere from a 4.22 to 4.28/40, down about 10 pounds from the combine where he verticaled 42 inches. Very explosive and is a big threat as a kick returner. 

It's going to be super interesting to see what direction the Vikings go to fill their WR need. Lot's of different, very skilled wide receivers in this draft

So it would seem Ruggs runs the most of the route tree.  But doesn't that depend if they are more used as a wideout or a slot?  And also dependent on the offense a team runs or even the ability of the QB?

I am seriously asking.  Basically I am not really sure what to get/analyze from the above stats?

Yup, this would be more useful if we could tell where each WR was lined up from. Just from stuff I've read, JJ was in the slot about 2/3 rds of the time. Ruggs was out side more often than Jeudy.
