Las Vegas Raiders 2020 NFL Draft prospect profile: Brandon Aiyuk

It is no big secret that the Las Vegas Raiders will address the wide receiver spot in the 2020 NFL Draft, and we look at Arizona State star Brandon Aiyuk here.

With the Las Vegas Raiders being linked to just about every big receiver name with the 12th pick, perhaps talking about Arizona State wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is a moot point. There are some comments from Raiders GM Mike Mayock about the hit rate drafting first round wide receivers, however, that suggest the Raiders aren’t so keen on taking a wide receiver with their first pick.

If the Raiders do decide on addressing another position and try to come back around with their 19th pick, or even trade down, it is likely CeeDee Lamb, Henry Ruggs III, and Jerry Jeudy will be gone at that point. There are a few wide receiver prospects who have as much potential as the big 3, and I believe that Aiyuk is one of them.

Aiyuk has been increasingly linked to the Raiders in recent mock drafts, and he’s a rare athlete at the wide receiver position who wins in contested catch situations and as a runner after the catch. The next best thing after CeeDee Lamb if you will in terms of the kind of wide receiver this team is lacking.

Lets take a look at his game and how he might fit into the Raiders plans.
