Pick No. 12: Henry Ruggs III, WR, Alabama
Pick No. 19: Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma

Kristopher Knox from Bleacher Report recently released his latest mock draft, and he has the Raiders addressing their issue at wide receiver with pick No. 12. This is a Raiders team that needs speed on the outside, and in this mock draft, they add Alabama speedster Henry Ruggs III with their first of two selections.

Ruggs could be an instant impact player on this Raiders offense, allowing Tyrell Williams to move to WR2, where he is more suited. With these two on the outside, and Hunter Renfrow in the slot, Derek Carr would have the perfect compliment of wideouts in the starting lineup, not to mention 90-catch tight end Darren Waller.

With pick No. 19, Knox likes the Raiders to address their other huge need, bringing in Oklahoma middle linebacker Kenneth Murray. Murray would slide right in as a starter on this defense, shoring up another major hole on that side of the ball, as the team looks to bring in two more players in the first round that will have a major impact in Year 1.
