12. Las Vegas Raiders 2020 NFL Draft
– Damon Arnette. He’s a good prospect, and he should be a decent player, but the Ohio State corner was a MASSIVE value reach at the 19. This was a class loaded with corners, and Mike Mayock took a third rounder in the first 20 picks. Other than that, everything else about this was strong.

– Of course Henry Ruggs was going to be the WR call at the 12. It doesn’t matter what city the Raiders are in, they’re always going to default to the guy with raw speed. However, heaven help them if Jerry Jeudy really is the best all-around receiver talent in this draft- especially at Denver.
– Mayock might make the bad-value defiant pick once in a while, but this year he went with a whole lot of really good college football players. There might be some question about the tools of the later picks, but WR Bryan Edwards, WR Lynn Bowden, OG John Simpson, and CB Amik Robertson are football players.
Best Value Pick: CB Amik Robertson, Louisiana Tech (4th)
Biggest Reach: CB Damon Arnette, Ohio State (1st)
Late Flier That Could Work: OG John Simpson, Clemson (4th)
