Cardinals HC Kingsbury Loves WRs Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb and Henry Ruggs III

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Alabama wide receivers Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III and Oklahoma wideout CeeDee Lamb are "definitely in play" at the eighth overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft.

"I'm an offensive coach who was a quarterback. I'm always looking for a fast outside guy," Kingsbury told reporters. "We're going to do what's best for our organization, but those three guys are definitely in play."

He added: "Love all three of those guys."

This year's receiver class has the look of one of the deepest, most talented groups in recent memory.

Bleacher Report's Matt Miller ranked Jeudy (No. 4 overall) as the top player at the position followed by Lamb (No. 9) and Ruggs (No. 13) heading into the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine.

Here's a look at how that trio of rising stars performed in 2019:

• Jeudy: 77 catches for 1,163 yards and 10 touchdowns
• Lamb: 62 catches for 1,327 yards and 14 touchdowns
• Ruggs: 40 catches for 746 yards and seven touchdowns

Although Ruggs' stats lagged slightly behind the other high-end receivers, his elite athleticism that was on display at the combine keeps him in the conversation atop the positional rankings.

Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was named the 2019 Offensive Rookie of the Year after he threw for 3,722 yards, rushed for 544 yards and tallied 24 total touchdowns. The aerial attack didn't keep pace in the pass-happy NFL, though.

Arizona ranked 24th in passing yards per game (217.3) and 25th in passing touchdowns (20).

The Cards don't need a new receiver in the short term with future Hall of Famer Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk set to lead the group in 2020. But Fitzgerald is taking things year by year at age 36, so the team can get ahead of a future issue by drafting another target now.

Murray vouched for Lamb, his college teammate with the Sooners, during a February interview with Bob McManaman of the Arizona Republic:

"Me and CeeDee have a great relationship. That's one of my boys. I would obviously be very fond of that pick. Obviously, I don't make the choices. I'm here for whatever, but I'm looking forward to free agency and us adding some great players and adding more of them in the draft so we can continue to grow this thing. But yeah, if we pick CeeDee, that would be great. We have a very comfortable relationship. I've played with him, I've been with him for years, so yeah, I don't think that would be a bad pick at all."

Any one of the three receivers would give the Cardinals one of the best pass-catching groups in the league next season. That paired with some upgrades to the pass rush in free agency and the draft would give the team a great chance to push toward a playoff berth in 2020.
