Too Early Draft

Since I can't look forward to this year's Super Bowl (for obvious reasons), I'm going to focus on the upcoming Draft in Vegas! Here's my early, pre-free agency predictions: 12. Javon Kinlaw DT - South Carolina

A disruptive Richard Seymour-type in the middle would have a huge impact on the Raiders defence. To beat the Chiefs they need to pressure Mahomes. No LB or CB can cover all of their weapons, but Kinlaw would free up Crosby, Ferrell, Hurst and Jordan and give Mahomes less time to find his receivers. The Raiders only carried 4 LBs in 2019 and will look to add one or two in FA (and probably another in the third round).

19. Henry Ruggs III WR - Alamaba

Carr doesn’t throw deep that much, so a YAC burner would have a huge impact on short and intermediate routes. Ruggs would be the Raiders Tyreek Hill without the baggage.
