CeeDee Lamb has been mocked to the Raiders for quite some time now, and here is another supporting case for his potential arrival in Las Vegas. It’ll be no surprise if the Raiders explore their options for a dynamic pass catcher with one of their two first round picks.

Lamb is regarded as one of the best wide receivers to come out of college football this season and if you tune into his film, it won’t take long to realize why. He does so many things to an exceptional level — he’s physical, has quality body control, superior ball skills and adequate speed. Lamb checks just about every box you’d look for when evaluating a wide receiver.

Gruden’s offense this season revolved mainly around a running attack and the use of his tight ends. By adding an outside playmaker such as Lamb, which the Raiders desperately need, the playbook would open up another dimension to attack opposing defenses. Lamb projects as a prolific No.1 pass catcher in his near future.

Pros:

  • Physicality
  • Ball skills
  • Consistent production

Cons:

  • Frame
  • Short area quickness
  • Straight line speed
