Bleacher Report: Joe Tansey

  • Pick No. 12: Derrick Brown, DT, Auburn
  • Pick No. 19: Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado

Bleacher Report updated their 2020 NFL mock after the National title game, and they like the Raiders to add the best defensive tackle in this draft class at No. 12 overall. Derrick Brown from Auburn is not only a monster on the inside, but he is also athletic enough to be a difference-maker in the backfield, and would be an excellent addition to a defensive line that took major steps forward in 2019.

Like Pro Football Focus, Bleacher like the Raiders to also add Shenault with the No. 19 overall pick, and if the team can get him, he would be a much-needed piece to the puzzle. Shenault has had to overcome a lot to get where he is, and not only is he an elite football player, but he is also an elite person, something the Raiders have coveted since Mayock took over.

One thing is for sure, the Raiders could go a number of different ways in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, which will be important considering they do not pick again until Round No. 3. They hold five of the first 100 picks in the draft this April, and with how well Mayock did his first time around, look for more impact players to be added to the roster.
