The 2020 NFL Draft is flush with wide receiver talent. Some are calling it the deepest group in the draft's history.

If you go to three different mock drafts, you'll likely find three different receivers as the first off the board.

The three most consistently high-rated receivers in the class, each has something different that they bring to the table that separates themselves from the rest.

With that in mind, let's take a look at the top three receivers in the 2020 NFL Draft.

My third-ranked receiver is Alabama's Henry Ruggs III. Ruggs is average-sized. He's just 5-11, 188, but he does have elite speed, having run a 4.27 40 at the NFL Combine. Twenty-four of his 98 career receptions with the Crimson Tide went for touchdowns.

The major question with Ruggs is whether or not he can land with the right team. In an innovative system, he could be devastating.

Either way, his speed can't be taught, and it makes him a tantalizing prospect.

Second on the board is Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb.

No receiver in this year's class is more dynamic after the catch. Lamb doesn't have elite speed, but he is able to make defenders miss. And that trait, coupled with good hands and superior vision, makes him the rare receiver who doesn't need to catch a deep pass to make a big play.

The best receiver in the 2020 draft, however, is Alabama's Jerry Jeudy.

He doesn't have Ruggs' speed or Lamb's explosiveness in the open field, but Jeudy is an exceptionally polished route-runner, possesses 4.45 speed and has room to fill out physically.

Jeudy is the kind of player who should be able to step into the league and produce from Day 1. He's got no holes in his game, and he should only get better as a pro.

There you have it, the three best wide receivers in a loaded 2020 draft class.
