It is officially mock draft season, and as we look around at the multiple mocks out there, Justin Herbert to Las Vegas is gaining steam.

The Las Vegas Raiders hold two first round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, and as we look around at the recent mock drafts, there really is no consensus as to what they will do with the picks. Whether it is trading up to get a quarterback, or standing pat and addressing both sides of the ball, the Raiders could go a number of different ways.

Looking at this Raiders roster heading into the 2020 NFL season, they need a lot of help on the defensive side of the ball, and some on offense. Of course, they need to add a legitimate WR1 via the draft, or free agency, and on defense, they have to bring in talent on all three levels, as it was a really bad unit in 2019.

Then there is of course the talk of Derek Carr, who is either going to be their guy under center in 2020, or will be replaced by a veteran like Tom Brady, or a rookie draft pick. Head coach Jon Gruden has never been keen on having a rookie start at quarterback, so the more likely scenario is Carr remains in 2020, and they bring in talent behind him to push him.

With that said, here is a look at some of the latest 2020 NFL mock drafts out there.
