2020 NFL mock draft: Raiders get Ceedee Lamb with Bears pick
By Brad Weiss
The Tennessee Titans ran into the buzzsaw that is Christian McCaffrey this past weekend, dropping a tough one on the road by the score of 30-20. The Titans are having quite an interesting season, as they have moved on from former franchise quarterback Marcus Mariota, and have installed Ryan Tannehill at the position.
While Tannehill has played well in relief of Mariota, it may be time for this franchise to completely turn the page in terms of the quarterback spot. If they decide to pick one of the better quarterback prospects in this draft class, Jake Fromm from Georgia would be a nice fit on this Titans offense, as he has the ability to make every throw at the NFL level.
It remains to be seen what they do with Tannehill after this season, but he has made this Titans offense at least watchable in recent weeks. They have a lot of work to do in terms of weapons on that side of the ball as well, but if Fromm is still available at No. 15 overall, you have to think Mike Vrabel and his staff takes a long look.
The Oakland Raiders are finally back home at the Coliseum, and they return to their home stadium with a solid 31-24 victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 9. Now, they will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night football, their second home game in five days, and you can be sure RingCentral is going to be rocking in primetime.
Just as they did during the 2019 NFL Draft, the Raiders will hold multiple first round picks, though this time they will be selecting as the Las Vegas Raiders in front of their home fans. With their second of two first rounders, look for the Raiders to bring in a guy like Isaiah Simmons, who fits two needs for this defense moving forward.
Simmons not only fills two needs, but he also plays for Clemson, a school the Raiders grabbed multiple draft picks from in the 2019 NFL Draft. He has the ability to play both linebacker or safety at the NFL level, and anybody who watches the Raiders knows their defense needs all the help they can get.
