Day 2 Draft Grades for the Las Vegas Raiders

After a successful day two Raiders Wire gives draft grades to all three picks from the Raiders third round.

The Las Vegas Raiders fan base is excited after a beautiful day two haul that has everyone clamoring for football this fall. The Raiders added depth at their primary position of need, which was wide receiver.

The best move for Day 2 was the trade back with the New England Patriots. This helped the Raiders add another pick in the fourth and fifth rounds.

After one of the longest Day 2 drafts we have watched, the Raiders finally made all three of their picks. Let’s get to these grades.

Pick No. 80 – Lynn Bowden WR/RB, Kentucky

Grade: A

Raiders already drafted the first-round receiver with the addition of stand out prospect Henry Ruggs. The Raiders decided to double up in the third round by adding versatile athlete Lynn Bowden from Kentucky.

Bowden is a weapon that can help this offense right away in different ways. He can play running back, wide receiver, return kicks, and even play quarterback.

The former Wildcat was 6-2 as a quarterback for Kentucky this past season in emergency duty after injuries. He became a leader after off the field issues, and that is known as an item the Raiders love. The Raiders plan to play him at running back to start

Speed seems to be the theme for the Raiders on offense and even in free agency. Adding Nelson Agholar displays that philosophy is here to stay. The Raiders are ready for the track meet and spread offenses of the NFL today.
