4. Clemson WR Tee Higgins

If there is one thing we learned about Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden in the 2019 NFL Draft, it’s that they love selecting players from big-time schools. In Mayock’s first draft as the general manager, he selected three Clemson Tigers in Clelin Ferrell, Trayvon Mullen, and Hunter Renfrow. Considering how well those three players performed as rookies, it wouldn’t be surprising if they went back to the well once again season.

If the Raiders don’t address their wide receiver need with CeeDee Lamb or Jerry Jeudy, one name to keep an eye on is Clemson’s Tee Higgins. After back-to-back dominant seasons for the Tigers, the 6’4, 215-pound receiver declared for the NFL Draft.

Higgins is one of the best deep threat receivers in this class with his ability to track the ball down the field. While he might not have elite speed, he is a long-strider that can be difficult for smaller defenders to cover. He might not be the best overall receiver, but he could be a perfect fit in Jon Gruden’s West Coast offense.
