. Wide Receiver. New York Jets. Jerry Jeudy. 11. player. 30

The New York Jets could go a number of different ways with the No. 11 overall pick, as they need help along the offensive line, but also need a standout wide receiver as well. This offseason, WR1 Robby Anderson left the team for the Carolina Panthers, leaving a gaping hole atop the depth chart at the position group.

With the No. 11 selection, the Jets add a playmaker from Alabama, bringing in Jerry Jeudy, who is widely considered the best wide receiver in a very deep class. Jeudy is the best route-runner in this draft class, and the Jets would be wise to continue to stockpile talent for young quarterback Sam Darnold.

General manager Joe Douglas loves his offensive linemen, who it is absolutely a possibility that they add one of the better offensive tackles in this class. However, if Darnold is going to take a step forward, he needs weapons, and the Jets have already added to their offensive line via free agency this offseason.

12. player. 28. . Wide Receiver. Las Vegas Raiders. CeeDee Lamb

The Las Vegas Raiders have done a nice job bolstering their roster through free agency, bringing in talent on the defensive side of the ball up front, at linebacker, and in the secondary. Last season, the defense was a serious issue, and the fact that they addressed it this offseason speaks to the job general manager Mike Mayock is doing.

During the 2019 NFL Draft, Mayock did a tremendous job adding talent not only in the first round, but also hitting on some big victories in later rounds in Maxx Crosby and Hunter Renfrow. In 2020, the Raiders once again have more than one first round pick, and with pick No. 12 overall, they add the perfect wide receiver to their offense.

CeeDee Lamb fits what the Raiders do, and what they need perfectly, and he should be available when the team selects at No. 12. He is an outstanding route-runner, can go up and make big plays, and on an offense really only missing a true WR1, they get their guy in Lamb.
