The Las Vegas Raiders may want to trade down in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and here are three teams they could do business with to do so.
According to Albert Breer in the MMQB on SI.com, the Las Vegas Raiders, as well as the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Detroit Lions, are three teams that he is hearing are interested in trading down in round one of the draft. Once again, the Raiders have solid first round draft capital in 2020, though they may want to move one of those picks.
In the case of the Raiders, they hold two the No. 12 and No. 19 overall selections in round one, but no pick in round two. Mike Mayock has gone on record saying he feels round two is his sweet spot, so it makes sense that he would like to add some more ammunition in that round.
Being willing and wanting to trade down is only half the battle, as it takes two to tango on draft night. In order for the Raiders to make a move they need a dance partner. One thing that works in their favor is the luxury of having two picks in round one. The more picks you have the greater the opportunity a team comes a calling.
Here are three possible round one trade down partners for the Raiders.
