  • Pick No. 12: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma
  • Pick No. 19: Kenneth Murray, LB, Oklahoma

WalterFootball.com released their latest mock draft this past Wednesday, and the folks over there like the Raiders to target the University of Oklahoma with both first round picks this April. By selecting wide receiver CeeDee Lamb at No. 12, and Kenneth Murray at No. 19, the Raiders address their two biggest needs in round one.

The selection of Lamb would be a selection that would make the Las Vegas draft crowd go crazy, and he is very high on most fans draft boards. He is a guy who can stretch the field, make plays over the middle, and on this Raiders wide receiver depth chart, he would slide in as the WR1 on Day 1.

Murray is the selection at No. 19 in this draft as well, and selecting him would be a big boost to a Raiders defense that has been looking for an answer at middle linebacker for some time now. They got good play from Will Compton last season, but he is not the long-term answer, and Murray would be.
