Las Vegas Raiders 2020 NFL Draft prospect profile: Jerry Jeudy

The Las Vegas Raiders WR1 experiment failed a season ago, but they can make things right in the NFL Draft. Our draft prospect profile on Jerry Jeudy, and how he can be a fit for the Silver and Black.

To become the best, you have to beat the best, and the statement rings true for the Las Vegas Raiders. While they’ll move to Sin City and their shiny new Allegiant Stadium, aptly nicknamed the Death Star, other things will remain the same.

Among them, facing the now defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs twice a year.

It’s no secret that Jon Gruden wants to mimic the Chiefs’ offensive firepower, at least to match them on that side of the ball. To achieve that, the Raiders need a true number one wide receiver.

Last season’s experiment with Antonio Brown flamed out before Week 1, but next week’s draft, filled with receiver prospects, is Las Vegas’ much-needed second chance.

Among the candidates for top wideout is Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy, who has a strong chance of being selected by the Raiders with their 12th overall selection. It is by no means a sure thing, as fellow teammate Henry Ruggs III and Oklahoma’s Ceedee Lamb have their own accolades to bring to the table.

What gives Jeudy the advantage over the others? And how would he fit in the Raiders’ offense? Let’s take a deep-dive in our draft prospect profile on the Alabama receiver.
