The top four wideouts in this year's draft are the Alabama duo of Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III, Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb and LSU's Justin Jefferson. Ruggs, who ran a blazing 4.27 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, best fits the "speedster" label.

Imagining two burners in Jackson and Ruggs for quarterback Carson Wentz is fun, namely for Eagles fans. Less so for opposing secondaries.
