Speed is what the Raiders lack in their wide receiver corps. There are three receivers who possess the requisite speed who have at times been mocked to them at either pick 12 or 19 — Alabama receivers Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs III and Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb.
Of those three, the measurements portion of the combine belongs to Lamb.
Lamb’s measurements across the board were better than either Jeudy or Ruggs. Here are the measurements of some of the draft’s top wide receiver prospects. Though he has pretty close to the same body.
| PLAYER | HEIGHT | WEIGHT (LBS) | ARM LENGTH | WINGSPAN |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brandon Aiyuk | 5-11 5/8 | 205 | 33 1/2″ | 80″ |
| KJ Hamler | 5-8 5/8 | 178 | 30 3/4″ | 72 1/2″ |
| Tee Higgins | 6-3 5/8 | 216 | 34 1/8″ | 81″ |
| Justin Jefferson | 6-1 1/4 | 202 | 33″ | 78″ |
| Jerry Jeudy | 6-1 | 193 | 32 1/8″ | 76″ |
| CeeDee Lamb | 6-1 5/8 | 198 | 32 1/4″ | 76 5/8″ |
| Henry Ruggs III | 5-11 | 188 | 30 1/2″ | 74 1/2″ |
| Laviska Shenault Jr. | 6-0 5/8 | 227 | 31 7/8″ | 76 1/4″ |
| Denzel Mims | 6-2 7/8 | 207 | 33 7/8″ | 78 1/2″ |
| Donovan Peoples-Jones | 6-1 5/8 | 212 | 33 1/2″ | 79 2/8″ |
| Michael Pittman | 6-4 | 223 | 32 1/2″ | 79 1/4″ |
| Jalen Reagor | 5-10 5/8 | 206 | 31 3/8″ | 74 3/8″ |
The most impressive number of all belongs to Brandon Aiyuk, who despite being just 5-11 5/8 tall, has an 80-inch wingspan. That’s second among receivers to only Tee Higgins (81″) who is a solid four inches taller than him.
