Did the Raiders make a terrible decision in a wide receiver rich class by drafting Henry Ruggs III?

Some could say that he was the 3rd or 4th best receiver on that 2019 Alabama team.

With Devonta Smith and Jerry Jeudy being #1 & #2.

And Jaylen Waddle being #3.

I didn't watch a lot of Raiders games this season. Just going off basic stats (I know it's not an accurate measure), but it didn't seem like he had a terrible season. It's not Justin Jefferson or even Jerry Jeudy (who had a lot of drops), but I think Carr established a better rapport with Waller and Agholor.

Yeah, seemed that way. It's on Carr (and I guess Gruden) to get Ruggs more involved.

CeeDee looked pretty impressive though, especially considering he was without Dak for most of the season. I know a lot of mocks had him going to LV.

Still, it's way too soon to say they made a mistake. Give it another couple years or so.
