Not trying to be a smartass or start an argument but, what is better:
A) Lock with ample time to scan the field, go through his reads and throw to the open man, even if it’s Tim Patrick or Juwan Winfree.
or
B) Lock scrambling under immediate pressure And having to check down, throw it away or take a sack while waiting for Ruggs to get 40 yds downfield?
Yes I know a second receiver can help open up the defense, but with time, the receivers we do have can get open. I’m not ready to give up on Hamilton in the slot either. Some receivers take some time to develop. He really came on once Lock was in the lineup. How many shit QBs have our WRs had throwing to them? Sometimes the QB makes the difference.

I dont want to touch WR in rd 1 personally.....2nd-3rd rds have guys that absolutely can come be for Sutton what Sanders was to DT.....a great #2.....
The Issue I currently have with OT is 15 is to high in my mind from a value perspective for either Jackson or Jones, the other 4 I belive will be gone by 15 and only 2 of them are really LT's anyway....That Leaves ILB, DT, or trade back in my opinion. I still belive OT is a top need for us, but the value has to make sense....especially if they dont start day 1.

I understand what you're saying man. But I am not at all convinced that I'm going to get better production out of a guy like ruggs then I am out of a guy like Reagor or Aiyuk. I'm definitely not saying wait until the fourth or fifth round to draft a wide receiver. I'm just saying if I had to choose between the two I feel like it's more of a sure thing drafting a tackle in the first round then in the second. Where as I'd be confident in about six receivers in this draft.
Here's the thing that I want to point out - in this deep WR class a guy like Ruggs stands out above so many of them. Yeah, this is a deep WR class, but most of these guys aren't elite prospects. In 2020 to land a guy with top ten talent at WR, on a rookie contract, and he doesn't have to even play like a number one WR? Please. People act like Wrs aren't worth anything, but I seem to remember the Niners Dynasty having Rice, the Steelers Dynasty having Stallworth and Swann, the Cowboys have Michael Irvin, the Eagles spent all kinds of assets on WR, Manning had Marvin Harrison on his SB team, etc. etc. etc.
It's not that LT isn't more important a position. It's just the landscape is changing. It's fine to have an average LT in today's game. Because the difference between average and above average is now the smallest it's ever been. Unless the guy is going to be a throwback elite guy in terms of production, who cares? Spare me the massive contrac for a guy who is barely better than a LT that ain't ever gonna make a Pro Bowl.
For me-
We dont need a elite Tyreek hill type its a rarity through and through and even he almost busted for being a dumbass....its literaly him and Djax as the last 2 in a decade.....I dont care what people say........for every attempt at his type of so called cant miss speed demon in the draft the majority end up busting....I dont want Sutton to become a semi-used Sammy watkins. Sutton is our number 1 now we need a Chris goodwin type compliment. you absolutely can find that in rd 2 cause thats what happened to sutton....Higgins and Jefferson even aiyuk are these type of players and are 1st rd talent in a deep class, so they slide naturally just like sutton did......

Found this interesting:
The 2020 NFL mock draft database
Here at SB Nation, we’re rounding up mock drafts from all over the internet, chewing them up, and spitting out the most popular results for each team. In a survey of 49 mock drafts, these are the results (this will be continually updated ahead of the draft):
At #15 Denver Broncos
Alabama WR Henry Ruggs III (36.7%)
South Carolina DT Javon Kinlaw (12.2%)
Oklahoma WR CeeDee Lamb (12.2%)

Im legit going to loose my shit if we draft Ruggs .....Love kinlaw if his knee checks out.....love murray at ILB, if Okudah drops go that way as well.....If we do have a OT at 15 fine I wont be that mad, but why not trade back for a similar tackle talent in Jackson or Jones who are just a tad more raw but both are projected to develop in starting LT's in the pro's......

Why would a burner WR take away from Sutton?
In the last decade you have Hill, Jackson, Martavus Bryant from Pittsburgh, Will Fuller, Brandon Cooks, Taywan Taylor, Marquise Goodwin...so I don't agree with your assessment of speed not being important or prevalent. Mike Wallace had some jets and he's had a good career.
Don't reach for a worse prospect - that's how we wound up in this mess.
Most likely a 4th-6th round pick and fast. Lets not waste a first rounder on a WR this year, its incredibly deep in this draft.
not one of those names outside Jackson and hill are worth a damn including wallace who had what 2 solid years(none of them mentioned are first round value vs production outside of hill or jackson though...thats my point).....Hollywood brown may have a shot but doubtful he makes it through 16 games consistently as well
I agree you dont reach for a worse prospect. Taking a 1st rd talent who fell because of positional attrition or team needs in rd 2 is a steal not a reach
