Raiders 2020 mock draft roundup: Laviska Shenault to Las Vegas
By Brad Weiss
The Las Vegas Raiders hold two first round picks in 2020, and many experts are starting to link them to Colorado wide receiver Laviska Shenault.
Mike Mayock added incredible talent during the 2019 NFL Draft, adding two quality edge rushers, a legitimate CB1, an elite running back talent, and a potentially game-changing safety to name a few. In 2020, he will once again have more than one first round pick at his disposal, and in this piece, we take a look at who the experts feel the team could draft with those selections.
The Raiders first pick as the Las Vegas Raiders will come at No. 12, a selection they earned thanks to their 7-9 record. The then-Oakland Raiders actually got out to a 6-4 start, and appeared destined for the playoffs in their last season in the Bay Area, but they lost five of their last six games, and were eliminated from playoff contention in Week 17.
Moving into their state-of-the-art building in their new city, the Raiders are going to want to get off to a fast start, and they have the roster to do so. The Silver and Black have great talent on both sides of the ball, including up front on both lines, where games are won or lost.
With that said, here is a look at some of the latest 2020 NFL mock drafts of the first round.
