CeeDee Lamb

CeeDee Lamb was a key component in Oklahoma’s high octane offense the last three seasons.  In 2019, he averaged a ridiculous 21.4 yards per reception to go along with 14 touchdowns.  It’s safe to say he is a home run waiting to happen.

While he might be a step slower than Jeudy he has elite level hands, yards after the catch ability, and ball skills.  He attacks 50/50 balls aggressively and is strong through the catch point.

Lamb is a threat to take it to the house in the short to intermediate game as well as the deep ball.  He can track the ball with the best of them.

He made an concerted effort to add some bulk this past season and it paid off as he was able to play more physical with the ball in his hands.

The combination of Lamb’s ball skills and excellent body control and awareness allows him to be a contortionist in the air.  Check out this footage from the combine.


It’s been a while since the Raiders have had a alpha dog, with the swagger to demand the ball and take games over like Lamb is capable of doing.

Next. 2020 Las Vegas Raiders Over/Under: Maxx Crosby 10 sacks. dark

Both these guys have the ability to come right in and be the WR1 for this Raiders offense in 2020, leading a group that will include Tyrell Williams and Hunter Renfrow as well. The Raiders are a piece or two away from being one of the more elite offenses in the NFL, and whoever is under center would take either one of these guys.
