Hindsight is always 20/20.
The Denver Broncos used their first-round pick in the 2020 NFL draft to select Alabama wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. He has been a dynamic route-runner in the NFL, but Jeudy hasn’t quite lived up to his 15th overall draft status in Denver.
Jeudy has missed nine games due to various injuries and his production has been hindered by underwhelming quarterback play. Did the Broncos make a mistake when they picked him in the first round in 2020?
Here’s a quick look at the stats of all six wide receivers who were picked in the first round of that year’s NFL draft.
