Raiders 2020 NFL Draft, Day 2

Round 3 Pick 80- Lynn Bowden Jr- RB/WR

Bowden Jr was traded before the season even started. Really no other way to grade this pick.

Pick Grade: F

Round 3 Pick 81- Bryan Edwards Jr- WR

  • Next five picks- Neville Gallimore, Lloyd Crushenberry, Terell Lewis, Julian Blackmon, Zack Moss

Bryan Edwards did not get the opportunities that everyone had hoped for coming into the season. I was very excited when the Raiders drafted Edwards and expected him to make a bigger impact than Ruggs. Unfortunately, we did not get to see a ton of Edwards being used in the offense.

There were times when we saw what Edwards can do, especially in the final game of the season. I have a lot of hope for Edwards and hope to see him utilized in the red zone like the team used to do with Michael Crabtree. Edwards has a lot lower expectations in the grading process from Ruggs, considering he was a third-round pick.

Pick Grade: C

Round 3 Pick 100- Tanner Muse- LB

  • Next five picks- Dalton Keene, Alex Highsmith, Davion Taylor, Terell Burgess, Adam Trautman

Tanner Muse missed his rookie season with an injury, so there is nothing to grade him on yet.

Pick Grade: Inc
