  • Pick No. 12: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma
  • Pick No. 19 (From Chicago Bears): Patrick Queen, LB, LSU

Chad Reuter recently put out a three-round 2020 NFL mock draft, and in it, there is no surprise at the position groups the Las Vegas Raiders targeted. With the No. 12 overall pick this April, Reuter likes the Silver and Black to add an explosive weapon at wide receiver, and they do so with Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb.

Of all the wideouts in this draft class, this is the one I feel will be perfect for Gruden’s offense, and they can certainly get him at 12 overall. He has great speed and agility, and his hands are some of the best in this draft class. He immediately makes the position group better.

With pick No. 19, the one they got in the Khalil Mack trade two years ago, the Raiders address their biggest need on defense by bringing in one of the best linebackers in this draft class. Patrick Queen has the size, strength, and speed to be a dominant linebacker at the next level, and in a position group that will be revamped this offseason, he would be a starter from Day 1.
