Did The Raiders Mess Up By Drafting Henry Ruggs III?

Spent most of the season as a decoy. Made great catches when targeted but they weren't drawing up plays for him or anything.
would rather call screen plays for fukking Jason witten.

True, It wasn't until Amari went to the Cowboys that he proved that he was a solid #2 WR.

Al Davis when they drafted Ruggs off of his speed
Johnny Kilroy
79 points in 1 quarter
Dat stadium tho 
Ruggs is too boom/bust and a small receiver to be taken 12th overall.
Here are the receivers who went after him:
Jerry Jeudy (15th)
CeeDee Lamb (17th)
Jalen Reagor (21st)
Justin Jefferson (22nd)
Brandon Aiyuk (25th)
Tee Higgins (33rd)
Michael Pittman Jr (34th)
With the exception of Reagor, all of them were more impressive than Ruggs in 2020.
Even Laviska Shenault started looking like a good player near the end of the season.
I don't think Ruggs is a bad player and he could take a big step. Typically it takes WRs about 3 years to really get comfortable in the NFL. But 12th was likely a reach for Ruggs. He has to pass Hunter Renfrow in terms of targets so that should tell you something.

you must not be up on renfrow.

Naw, he was a solid 2 behind Crabtree.
Also
A lot of those long throws went to agholor. That’s what I’m saying. Carr needs a full offseason with Ruggs to build some trust in order for Carr to throw it to him even if he isn’t completely wide open.

Too early you'll know what Ruggs is next year on top of that guy was so fast he made other guys open.
That being being said he would have gotten fat (figurative) in a team like San Fran or KC or even the Texans.
