The Las Vegas Raiders have a big hole at the receiver position. That is no secret. Luckily for them, they will have several different options on how to address that need in the 2020 NFL Draft.

The consensus is that they will select a receiver sometime in the first round with one of their two top-20 picks. While that seems likely, there is a chance the team passes on a receiver early, but there will be some excellent values at receiver in the third and fourth rounds. There is also a chance the team could double-up on receiver given the depth in this class.

Here are some receivers that the Raiders could be interested in somewhere between picks No. 80 through No. 121.

1. Bryan Edwards, South Carolina

One of the most underrated receivers in the 2020 draft is Bryan Edwards of South Carolina. For most of his career, he shared the field with Deebo Samuel, who went on to have a fantastic rookie season with the San Francisco 49ers.

Edwards started four seasons in the SEC, totaling over 3,000 receiving yards despite subpar quarterback play. At 6’3, 212 pounds, he has experience playing all three receiver positions and contributing on special teams, as well. On many occasions, he actually outproduced Samuel when both were on the field for the Gamecocks.

The only reason Edwards may be available late on the second day of the NFL Draft is due to a broken foot that caused him to miss the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine. And with no Pro Days this offseason, teams won’t have any confirmed numbers on Edwards.

In the right situation, Edwards could be a high-end WR2 with the potential to be even more. He has elite ball skills, ability to win after the catch, and plays with incredible physicality. Don’t be surprised if Edwards ends up being one of the best receivers in this class, given his experience and plus route running.
