Pick 14 – CeeDee Lamb, Oklahoma WR
Almost every mock has the Raiders addressing the wide receiver position in the first round, and WalterFootball.com is no different.
There may not be a more impressive receiver in college football this season than CeeDee Lamb, and adding him to the Raiders offense would be a considerable upgrade. Coming into 2019, everyone knew about Lamb’s body control and ability to win almost any contest catch situation. However, this season, he has shown another elite trait, and that is his run-after-catch ability.
Go watch the games against Texas and Kansas State, then you’ll see exactly what I mean. If he is available, the Raiders should sprint to the podium.
Pick 17 – Yetur Gross-Matos, Penn State DE
You don’t find many players with the length and athleticism of Yetur Gross-Matos, and he would add a level of explosiveness to the defensive line.
Gross-Matos has lived in the backfield during his three years at Penn State, racking up 14.5 sacks, and 31.0 tackles for loss. And what’s even scarier is the fact that he is still so raw as a pass rush, so this could be just the surface of what he’s truly capable of.
The Raiders don’t have anyone along the front that is as explosive and sudden as Gross-Matos, and he could be a great compliment to guys like Clelin Ferrell and Maxx Crosby.
