2. Tyler Johnson, Minnesota

In terms of production, there isn’t a ton not to like about Tyler Johnson from Minnesota. Over the last two seasons in the Big Ten, he accumulated nearly 2,500 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns. And if you care about advanced wide receiver metrics, he ranks above the 90th percentile in both market share and breakout age at PlayerProfiler.com.

While Johnson isn’t overly fast, he’s one of the best route runners in the class, especially from the slot. He is a dominant red-zone weapon and arguably the best-contested ball receivers in this class. There are certainly some elements of Davante Adams to his game, but it’s hard not to compare him to Juju Smith-Schuster, given his ability to win out of the slot and down the field.

If the Raiders were to select a Henry Ruggs or Jerry Jeudy in the first-round, grabbing Tyler Johnson sometime in the third-round would make a ton of sense. Given how well the analytics like Johnson, he could make for a strong pick anytime on Day 2 for the Raiders.
