Luke Easterling, Draftwire
Round 1 Pick No. 16 (From Chicago Bears): Isaiah Simmons, LB, Clemson
Luke Easterling does an incredible job over at draftwire, and recently, he posted his latest 2020 NFL mock draft, and likes the Raiders going back to Clemson for draft picks. Last year, the Raiders hit big on their selections from Clemson, grabbing Clelin Ferrell, Hunter Renfrow, and Trayvon Mullen.
In my opinion, Clemson linebacker Isaiah Simmons is the best possible player the Raiders could draft. The Raiders have had an issue at linebacker for years, and Simmons is a versatile player that can do it all. Simmons will be able to play coverage, stop crossing routes, and make tackles.
Round 1, Pick No. 17: Tee Higgins, WR, Clemson
Once again, the Raiders look for a receiver in the first round. Tee Higgins is a tall receiver that can create separation and has solid route-running skills. Higgins is extremely athletic and can make catches that are out of most receivers catching zone.
Adding Higgins to a wide receiver group that already includes former Tigers teammate Hunter Renfrow makes a lot of sense, and the Clemson guys have really taken to being Raiders this season. Higgins has a completely different skill set than Renfrow, but both comes from a winning program, and play with the same kind of intensity.
