Raiders mock draft roundup: Las Vegas adds an elite wideout
By Nick Ellis
With the Oakland Raiders having the weekend off, we take a look at some of the selections the experts have them going with in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
The Oakland Raiders have now strung two crucial wins together, beating both the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers in a five-day span. With the win, the Raiders now find themselves sitting at 5-4 on the season, and are currently fully entrenched in the AFC Playoff picture.
In addition, the Chicago Bears continue to lose, and with the Raiders owning the Bears first round pick once again next year, the losses are a good thing for the Raiders franchise. Remember the 2020 NFL Draft will be their first as the Las Vegas Raiders, and the organization would like nothing more than to string together back-to-back solid drafts.
After their loss in Week 9, the Bears pick is currently a top-10 selection.
Many have believed that the Raiders’ main issue is the lack of a WR1 but with the explosiveness of their offense, should the Raiders go all out on defense? The team has a massive need at corner and linebacker, as well as a pass rusher that can make a difference on the defensive line.
Here is our latest look around the internet at some of the recent 2020 NFL mock drafts.
