With Michael Thomas on the team, it feels weird to consider wide receiver a position of need for the New Orleans Saints. But the fact is, other than Thomas, no Saints' wideout had more than 450 receiving yards in 2019, with Ted Ginn Jr. being the second-leading WR at 421 yards.

Adding a legitimate threat opposite of Thomas could help push this Saints' offense to the next level, but with the sixth-least amount of projected cap space available, New Orleans will likely need to address the position in the NFL Draft. With that in mind, here are three wideouts the Saints should target in the draft.

1. Henry Ruggs III, Alabama Crimson Tide

Henry Ruggs III is a bonafide speed demon, and he'd be an excellent fit alongside Thomas. While Thomas specializes on intermediate routes, Ruggs could be a fantastic deep threat in New Orleans, as he averaged 18.6 yards per reception this season (T-No. 25 in the NCAA). That ability to stretch the field could open up a lot of options for the Saints, making the offense more dynamic than it already is.
