Joe Tansey, Bleacher Report

  • Pick No. 12: CeeDee Lamb, WR, Oklahoma
  • Pick No. 19 (From Chicago Bears): Yetur Gross-Matos, Edge, Penn State

Joe Tansey has the Las Vegas Raiders targeting the wide receiver spot with their first of two first round picks, adding Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb. Over the next few weeks, we are going to see a ton of mock drafts that have the Raiders adding a wide receiver with the No. 12 overall pick, as they are in prime position to get either Lamb or Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy, the two best options at the position in this draft class.

With pick No. 19, the Raiders add a player to a position group that they targeted twice in the 2019 NFL Draft, selecting Yetur Gross-Matos, a defensive tackle from Penn State. While Gross-Matos can flat out get after the quarterback, the Raiders may want to add to this position group later in the draft, much like they did in 2019, selecting Maxx Crosby with a fourth round pick.

So as you can see by these mock drafts, the Raiders could be in the market for numerous positions in round one, so we will just have to wait and see where they actually go with the pick. The Mack trade has turned out to be a positive one for this organization, and with five picks in the first 91 selections, look for Mike Mayock to once again work his magic this April.
