2020 Las Vegas Raiders Draft List

The Las Vegas Raiders completed their first draft class in the desert. Below, you will find the names and a brief description.

Henry Ruggs, WR, Alabama (12^th overall)

Derek Carr needed someone to stretch the defense in the safest way. With Ruggs, he can take a slant 70 yards to the house. Look for him to expand the route tree soon.

Damon Arnette, CB, Ohio State (19^th overall)

Many scoffed at this pick. In hindsight, Gruden mentioned a comparison to Aqib Talib. Arnette brings similar physicality, without the abundant off-field issues.

Lynn Bowden, WR/RB, Kentucky (80^th overall)

Bowden will immediately make the return game better. Meanwhile, he will see the field in the slot, backfield. Look for that jet sweep.

Bryan Edwards, WR, South Carolina (81^st overall)

The Raiders go in a separate direction with the physical Edwards. He will feast on contact catches and the ability to manhandle corners.

Tanner Muse, Hybrid, Clemson (100^th overall)

With a thin linebacker group, the Raiders needed a big safety to cover occasionally. Initially, Muse will operate on special teams, but look for him to see the field in subpackages.

John Simpson, G, Clemson (109^th overall)

With the guard situation in a state of eventual flux, Vegas invests in a plug and play mauler that will challenge for starter reps in the future.

Amik Robertson, CB, Louisiana Tech (139^th overall)

The Raiders complete their aggressive draft makeover with the ballhawk from LaTech. Robertson’s uncanny knack for the ball and willingness to fight for it should see him ease into a role early.
