CeeDee Lamb or Jerry Jeudy? What will the first round of NFL Draft look like for Raiders?
.jpg "The Las Vegas Raiders have two first-round draft selections to make in the 2020 NFL Draft. Among the players the Raiders could draft are from left to right: Iowa DE A.J. Epenesa, Alabama WR Jerry Jeudy, Clemson LB Isaiah Simmons, LB Patrick Queen and Oklahoma WR CeeDee Lamb.")
The Las Vegas Raiders have two first-round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft April 23 in Las Vegas.
What will they do with picks No. 12 and No. 19?
To get the speculation rolling, The Fresno Bee used a Draft Network simulator. Here are the results as we went manual picking for the Raiders:
12. WR Jerry Jeudy, Alabama: Jeudy became the better option after CeeDee Lamb went to the New York Jets at No. 11. Las Vegas needs immediate help at the receiver position.
Tyrell Williams produced well early in the season before a foot injury limited him. The Raiders don’t have a true No. 1 threat and Jeudy could provide a big spark to go along with Williams, Hunter Renfrow, Darren Waller and Foster Moreau.
19. LB Patrick Queen, Louisiana State: Another area of immediate need. The Raiders were hampered by depth and injuries at the position last season. At season’s end, the Raiders only had Tahir Whitehead, Nicholas Morrow, Will Compton and Kyle Wilber available.
