4 realistic first-round picks for Raiders before the NFL Combine

Drake London, WR, USC

Staying on the offensive side of the ball, all indications are that the Raiders are going to be in the market for wide receiver help in a big way this offseason. One player to keep an eye on in the second half of the first round is USC star Drake London, who checks a lot of the boxes for this Las Vegas team moving forward.

London has incredible size, which should make him an outstanding threat in the red zone, and he also can significantly stretch the field. When you combine him with a slot guy like Hunter Renfrow at the top of the depth chart, it improves one of the weaker position groups the Raiders have going into the offseason instantly.

Las Vegas has a decision to make on Zay Jones, and whether or not they bring back the veteran is still up in the air. However, even if Jones does come back, he is more of a No. 3 or No. 4 wide receiver at this point, which means adding a top-line free agent wideout or drafting one on Day 1 or 2 is certainly in the cards this April.
