2020 NFL Draft: 5 players Raiders could take in Round 1
1. CeeDee Lamb
Lamb isn’t going to walk into the NFL with the same amount of polish as Jeudy, but his physical gifts are even more significant. That’s why he should be the Raiders’ top target with the No. 12 pick.
It’s no lock that Lamb will last that long. He absolutely dominated the competition at Oklahoma. His athletic testing won’t jump off the page at scouts, but his tape absolutely does. Lamb looked like a man playing against boys during his time at Oklahoma.
He won’t enjoy that sort of physical advantage over NFL corners, but he’s still going to toss some guys around like rag dolls. Perhaps more importantly, he also has the exceptional body control required to make tough catches against high quality defenders. Lamb is the rare receiver who’s never really covered when you consider his ability to turn his body and make exceptional catches.

Lamb is just the sort of wideout that Gruden will fall in love with during the pre-draft process. He will give the Raiders quarterback of the future a big-bodied target who also has the ability to make huge plays down the field. His potential will be too much for Las Vegas to pass on at No. 12. If he lasts that long, Gruden should rush his pick to the podium.
