Which top-ranked wide receiver should the Las Vegas Raiders select?
The Verdict
The Raiders have the opportunity to drastically change their offense when they find themselves on the clock at pick 12. Arguably, there is no way they can go wrong here if they decide to use the pick on one of these three wideouts.
Each of these three receivers is a game-changer, and any team would be lucky to be able to draft any of them. There is one receiver, though, that stands out above the others when it comes to fitting in with the Raiders.
If the Raiders find themselves on the clock with all three available, the best option they can go with is Oklahoma product, CeeDee Lamb. Lamb is the best fit for the Raiders, and for Jon Gruden’s offense, and would slide right in atop the depth chart in 2020 and beyond.
He is Derek Carr’s dream receiver, a master at going up and getting jump-balls. He has elite hand strength, and his route-running ability is NFL-ready. His yards-after-catch ability is second to none, and the Raiders can line him up anywhere they want.
