Should the Raiders draft a cornerback or wide receiver at pick No. 12
By Evan Groat
The Las Vegas Raiders hold the No. 12 overall pick, and the debate rages on as to whether they should go cornerback or wide receiver there.
For general managers and coaches, the draft is all about making tough decision, and the Las Vegas Raiders have a tough one at pick No. 12 overall. The decision to trade up, trade down, or stand pat and make the pick are all on the table, as is whether or not to draft a cornerback or wide receiver with the selection.
Right now there are several of these such debates going on among the Raiders fan base, and they include position groups on both sides of the ball. Jerry Jeudy or CeeDee Lamb at wide receiver, Kenneth Murray or Patrick Queen at linebacker, or even Kristian Fulton or AJ Terrell at cornerback later in round one?
With the draft less than ten days away, one of discussions that has Raider Nation divided is what should Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden do with the 12th overall pick in round one. By now it’s clear the two biggest needs on the roster remain at wide receiver and cornerback, but the question is which one should be addressed first.
Strong cases can be made as to why each position group is deserving of the number 12 pick.
