46. . Wide Receiver. Indianapolis Colts. Henry Ruggs III. 23. player

The Indianapolis Colts were shocked during the preseason, as franchise quarterback Andrew Luck decided to retire. Luckily for the Colts franchise, they had a starter waiting in the wings, as Jacoby Brissett has become the perfect successor for Luck, leading the Colts to a winning record so far in 2019.

For the Colts,  they have arguably the best offensive line in football, and very capable running backs. One area they could look to get better is at the wide receiver position, and Henry Ruggs III is another Alabama wideout that should hear his name called in the first round next April.

Ruggs would be a perfect compliment alongside T.Y. Hilton at the wide receiver position, as the team puts more weapons around Brissett. They have built this roster up the right way, and you have to believe they are going to be in the playoff push to the very end, likely ended up as a Wild Card team in the AFC.

Offensive Tackle. Minnesota Vikings. Trey Adams. 24. player. 60.

The Minnesota Vikings have gotten their season back on track, and a lot of the thanking has to go to quarterback Kirk Cousins. Early in the season, Cousins was bashed by the media as being the only hindrance on a playoff roster, but since then, he has been lighting teams up deep, especially hitting star wideout Stefon Diggs.

While Cousins has done a nice job in recent weeks, the fact remains that the Vikings need to  get him some help up front along the offensive line. One player who could have been a first round pick last year was Trey Adams from Washington, but a torn ACL ended his season early, and he returned for another season with the Huskies in 2019.

Adams would be a solid addition this late in round one, and he is going to come into the NFL as one of the more pro-ready offensive tackles in this draft class. The Vikings have the talent on both sides of the ball to be a playoff team for years to come, and if you give Cousins time, he can pick you apart.
