Josh Edwards: CBS Sports

Round 1, Pick 16 (From Chicago Bears): CeeDee Lamb, WR,Oklahoma

In his latest mock for CBS Sports, Josh Edwards like the Raiders to address the wideout position. Tyrell Williams started the year off hot, but as the year as gone on, Williams has become too inconsistent to be considered a WR1. The Raiders would be getting an immediate WR1 with CeeDee Lamb, a player who could blow the offense wide open.

During his time at Oklahoma, Lamb has played with some elite quarterbacks, and he would be coming into the NFL with the ability to catch passes from one of the more accurate passers in football. Derek Carr would love throwing to Lamb, and Williams could move back to his natural WR2 role.

Round 1, Pick 17: Dylan Moses, LB, Alabama

Before his injury, Dylan Moses was considered the best linebacker in the draft. With his ACL injury keeping him out for the year, Moses becomes a high-risk high reward type of player, something Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock have not shied away from.

The bottom line is, Moses is an extremely talented linebacker when healthy, and is outstanding in coverage, something this defense lacks. It is no big secret that Oakland needs help at linebacker, and as the team moves to Sin City, they will address that need no doubt.
