82. Tyler Johnson – Wide Receiver, Minnesota

With the depth in this wide receiver class, the Raiders should look to use multiple picks on the position. Tyler Johnson is one of the smoothest route runners in the class and possesses strong hands in traffic, which could make him a reliable target over the middle of the field.

He knows how to set up defenders with his quickness when being guarded one-on-one and consistently beat corners inside. And with his basketball background, he can track the ball in the air and adjust his body accordingly.

Not overly physical at 6’2, 205 pounds, and in terms of athleticism, he is just good, so that is what probably brings him down a bit. He was also overshadowed this season by his sophomore teammate Rashod Bateman, so he may just be a high number two at the next level, but there’s no shame in that.
