Raiders NFL Draft – Page 77 – Syndication Server

Who would the Raiders select in a re-draft of the 2020 NFL Draft?

The Las Vegas Raiders were in a great position in the 2020 NFL Draft. With two top-20 selections, the draft lined up well for them to select a stud wide receiver and potentially a game-changing defender. However, the early returns on those picks haven’t been great and the Raiders might be wishing they could hit the reset button on that class.

With hindsight being 2020, who should the Raiders have selected at picks No. 12 and No. 19? You can make a case they should have drafted CeeDee Lamb or Justin Jefferson at No. 12, but maybe the smart play was to address defense at that spot.

In a recent article by ESPN’s 32 beat writers, they redrafted the first two rounds of the 2020 NFL Draft. Not surprisingly, the Raiders did not select Henry Ruggs III at No. 12 or Damon Arnette at No. 19. Instead, Paul Gutierrez gave the Raiders linebacker Kenneth Murray at No. 12 and Ruggs later in the first round.

Here is a snippet of Gutierrez’s thoughts on Murray and why he would have made more sense than Ruggs in the top half of the first round:

“In the real world, the Raiders went unconventional here, making the fastest guy in the draft the first receiver taken in a historically deep draft for receivers. Yeah, he’s still available, but was not as productive as hoped for as a rookie. Las Vegas needed a thumper at middle linebacker, an alpha in the middle of the defense that was, well, horrid at times. Murray, who led the Chargers with 107 tackles, the second-most among NFL rookies in 2020, more than fits that bill.”

While the idea of addressing the defense early in the draft makes sense, the player does not. Murray graded out as a sub-par linebacker this season and struggled in coverage despite the high tackle totals. He doesn’t project as a high-level coverage linebacker and that is what the defense is missing.

If the Raiders were going to go defense at No. 19, cornerback Trevon Diggs or safety Antoine Winfield Jr. would have made more sense in hindsight. Both players actually fell to the middle of the second round, but would have been plug-and-play starters on a defense that could have used them.

There is still a lot of time for the actual picks from the 2020 rookie class for the Raiders, so don’t write them off quite yet. However, the 2021 season is a big one for players like Ruggs and Arnette, who struggled to stay healthy and show any sort of consistency during their rookie seasons.

Raiders select Alabama DT Christian Barmore in latest Draft Network mock

Addressing the defensive line is starting to become a theme for the Raiders in the first round of many mock drafts. Whether it’s an edge rusher or an interior defensive lineman, the Raiders have to get better upfront if they want to compete with the best teams in the AFC.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen several different names mentioned in connection with the Raiders at No. 17. But the player who is starting to become a consensus pick for Las Vegas is Christian Barmore of Alabama.

In a recent mock draft by Joe Marino of The Draft Network, he gave the Raiders the former Alabama star at No. 17. Here’s what he had to say about the potential fit:

“Barmore hails from a successful college program, which appears to be a priority for early picks made by general manager Mike Mayock, and he fills a need for a Raiders team that needs to get better on defense, particularly up front. Barmore is a balanced defender that has dynamic playmaking ability as a pass rusher and run defender and he was dominant in the College Football Playoff.”

As Marino mentioned, big-school production is a must for Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden. And given their need at defensive tackle, Barmore would fit in well. He might need a year to develop considering his lack of experience, but the team does have Maurice Hurst under contract for one more season. That would allow Barmore to rotate in as a rookie and potentially be the team’s starting three-technique by 2022.

Barmore, along with Notre Dame’s Jeremiah Owusu-Komorah, appear to be the two most likely picks for the Raiders in the first round at this point. However, with free agency happening next month, all that could change rather quickly. Keep an eye on Barmore as a potential selection for the Raiders in the first round.

Raiders draft class ranked among worst in NFL by Pro Football Focus

It’s fairly obvious that the Raiders didn’t get enough out of their rookie class this season. Despite having two first-round picks and five selections in the top-100, it was a disappointing season for their 2020 class.

Henry Ruggs and Damon Arnette both dealt with injuries. Tanner Muse never played a snap and Lynn Bowden Jr. was traded before he ever got the chance to set foot on the field. In hindsight, it may be a draft the team might soon regret.

In a recent article by Pro Football Focus via ESPN, they ranked all 32 draft class by the wins above the replacement metric. Not surprisingly, the Raiders’ class ranked among the league’s worst at No. 30. Here is a snippet of what they had to say about their 2020 draft:

“All seven of the Raiders’ 2020 draft picks were selected within the first four rounds, and that group collectively ranked third-to-last in WAR generated among the 32 classes. Only one Las Vegas rookie generated positive WAR this season — wide receiver Bryan Edwards — and he barely eclipsed zero. The second of Las Vegas’ two first-round picks, cornerback Damon Arnette, had a rough rookie campaign over nine games played. He finished as the lowest-graded outside corner in coverage this season, giving up 26 catches for 405 yards on 32 targets.”

If Ruggs and Arnette can stay healthy, then this class obviously will have a chance to redeem itself. But general manager Mike Mayock has already questioned Arnette’s off-the-field work ethic and we shall see if Ruggs can develop in Year 2.

As of now, this class leaves a lot to be desired. They need multiple players from this class to improve if they want to take the next step as a franchise in 2021.

Grading the Raiders 2019 draft class after two seasons

They say the biggest jump in an NFL career comes between their first and second year. At least, that’s how it’s supposed to be. Sometimes, players burst out the gates right away, others never break out. Let’s take a look at how the Raiders 2019 drafted players performed in their second years.

Round 1, pick No. 4: Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson

Unlike his rookie season, Ferrell at least had as many positive performances as he had negative ones. It was still a mixed bag though. He was inconsistent at best. And still didn’t come close to living up to his draft position, finishing with just two sacks. And before you say sacks aren’t everything, they’re not nothing either. They matter, and getting just two is not good enough.

Grade: C

Round 1, pick No. 24: Josh Jacobs, RB, Alabama

Jacobs was nearly as good his second season as he was his rookie year. He had fewer yards in 15 games (1065) than he had in 13 games (1150) as a rookie and it showed in his yards per carry which dropped nearly a full yard. He did, however score 12 touchdowns, after scoring seven as a rookie.

Grade: B

Round 1, pick No. 27: Johnathan Abram, S, Mississippi State

This was Abram’s first season in the NFL after being lost for the season in the opener in 2019. And it was a rough one to say the least. He was often the weakest link in the Raiders’ secondary. Discipline was his overarching problem. Time after time he would get caught freelancing or making illegal hits. One lost season and one terrible one is not a great start to his career.

Grade: F

Round 2, pick No. 40: Trayvon Mullen, CB, Clemson

There were times when Mullen would get burnt, but he was still the best cornerback on this team. He’s had double digit pass breakups in each of his first two seasons, despite not becoming a starter until midway through his rookie year. And he improved his interception numbers, giving him three total over his first two seasons.

Grade: A-

Round 4, pick No. 106: Maxx Crosby, ED, Eastern Michigan

It’s hard to improve on double digit sacks as a rookie. Crosby’s sack numbers came down, but his seven sacks still led the team by a wide margin. His 13 QB hits and 14 tackles for loss were near his 2019 numbers as well.

Grade: A+

Round 4, pick No. 129: Isaiah Johnson, CB, Houston

After a lost rookie season, he was still buried on the depth chart his second season. He is solely responsible for one of the Raiders’ wins, however, coming in as an injury replacement and knocking down consecutive Justin Herbert fade passes in the end zone to preserve the Raiders’ win over the Chargers. The team is still trying to find a way to get him on the field more because as of now, his skillset appears limited.

Grade: C

Round 4, pick No. 136: Foster Moreau, TE, LSU

Seen as a blocking tight end coming out of LSU, he showed surprisingly good receiving skills as a rookie. Then the Raiders wasted a bunch of money signing Jason Witten and put him ahead of Moreau. Despite seeing his snaps drop, Moreau still outperformed Witten. Now that Witten has bestowed the secrets of his greatness on Moreau, maybe he can get back to being the other receiving threat across from Darren Waller.

Grade: B+

Round 5, pick No. 149: Hunter Renfrow, WR, Clemson

Third and Renfrow began as fifth and Renfrow. You don’t often find starting slot receivers and go-to third down targets in the fifth round. He was a gem as a rookie and improve on his receiving numbers this past season even with better receiving targets around him.

Grade: A+

Round 7, pick No. 230: Quinton Bell, ED, Prairie View A&M

Was nothing more than Mike Mayock flexing his knowledge of lesser known draft prospects. He didn’t make the team out of camp. Granted it’s not uncommon for a seventh round pick to not make the roster, but Bell always seemed like a throwaway pick.

Grade: D

Class assessment

It’s sort of ironic that this class is one of the best looking Raiders drafts in recent memory even despite seeming to botch their pick at fourth overall and two of their three first round picks.

I know there are some who would prefer to look at the positive things Clelin Ferrell has done, but being taken at fourth overall, more is expected. Especially when you look at what several defenders taken after him have done. Linebacker Devin White (5), edge rushers Josh Allen (7) and Brian Burns (16), and defensive tackle Ed Oliver (9) in particular.

Then, of course, there’s Johnathan Abram, when the team had a need at wide receiver and they passed on Pro Bowl WR AJ Brown several times.

This isn’t hindsight either. Those players would have been considered great picks at those spots at the time. Imagine this class with one of those other defenders at the top pick and AJ Brown along with the likes of Mullen, Crosby, Moreau, and Renfrow. What an absolutely incredible class this would be. It says a lot that it’s still a pretty good class as it stands.

Overal grade: B

ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. mocks talented edge rusher to the Raiders at No. 17

It’s no secret that the Raiders have to improve their pass rush this offseason. But how they go about doing that will be very interesting. Do they try to improve the interior defensive line with someone like Christian Barmore from Alabama in the first round of the NFL Draft? Or, do they look at an edge rusher who could potentially rotate with Clelin Ferrell and Maxx Crosby?

If the Raiders decide to look at edge rushers, one name that has to be considered is Jaelan Phillips of Miami. Coming into the college ranks, he was one of the highest-rated defensive end prospects of all-time. But after numerous injuries, he was forced to retire for a year, only to return to Miami in 2020.

Phillips was absolutely dominant on the field this season, recording 15.5 tackles for a loss and eight sacks in 10 games. According to Pro Football Focus, he tallied 29 hurries on 286 pass-rush snaps. Not only did he grade out as a great pass-rusher, but he also finished as one of the better run defenders in the nation.

In a recent mock draft by Mel Kiper Jr. of ESPN, he mocked Philips to the Raiders at No. 17. Here is what Kiper had to say about the possible pairing:

“This is a strange draft in that there are no dominant pass-rushers. Phillips could be the top edge prospect, and I have only a mid-first-round grade on him. But he had a dominant season for the Hurricanes after transferring from UCLA, where he had ended his career because of concussion issues. The former five-star prospect missed the 2019 season and then ended up at Miami, where he had 5.5 sacks in his final three games. Depending on his medical checks, Phillips could rise even higher. The Raiders, meanwhile, had one of the NFL’s worst pass rushes again (21 sacks, fourth-worst) and got only two sacks from former No. 4 overall pick Clelin Ferrell.”

If you ignore the potential medical concerns, Phillips has elite tape that usually translates into a top-10 selection. But a history of concussions and other injuries could lead to him falling down the board. Phillips could be a potential selection for the Raiders at No. 17 as he is a perfect fit in Gus Bradley’s defense.

Is Alabama DT Christian Barmore the ideal selection for the Raiders at No. 17?

One of the biggest holes currently on the Raiders’ roster is on the interior defensive line. Maliek Collins and Johnathan Hankins are both scheduled to become free agents and Maurice Hurst has just one year left on his rookie contract.

The Raiders have struggled to find the dominant three-technique that can both rush the passer and stop the run. Right now, it might just be their most important position of need.

Unfortunately, the 2021 NFL Draft doesn’t have any top-end defensive tackle talent such as Quinnen Williams or Derrick Brown in previous years. However, the one player that is gaining some steam is Alabama defensive tackle Christian Barmore.

Despite playing less than 800 career snaps in college, Barmore has the tools and traits you look for in an interior rusher. And in a recent mock draft by Pro Football Focus, Barmore was the selection for the Raiders at No. 17. Here is what that they had to say about the potential pairing:

“It’s not a deep class of interior defensive linemen, but Barmore is one of the best interior pass-rushers to come out of college in a few years. He has the first step to keep guards and centers off-balance, and he gets to the top of the pocket with edge-like athleticism. Barmore has played just 747 career snaps, but his two-year pass-rush grade ranks in the 99th percentile compared to recent NFL prospects, which fills a huge need in Las Vegas.”

By the time we get to the NFL Draft, Barmore might have risen so much that he’s not even in consideration for the Raiders at No. 17. But he does appear to check all the boxes that Mike Mayock and Jon Gruden want in a first-round pick.

Keep an eye on Barmore as a possible selection for the Raiders in the first round. He might just be the best pick the team could make at No. 17.

3 receivers the Raiders must pay attention to at the 2021 Senior Bowl

We are just a day away from the best seniors in the nation participating in the 2021 Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. The first practice begins on Tuesday with the game coming on Saturday afternoon.

One of the positions that appear to be the deepest at the all-star event is at wide receiver. While the Raiders don’t necessarily need a wide receiver high in the draft, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them draft one again in the middle rounds.

Today, we are taking a look at three prospects at the Senior Bowl the Raiders must pay attention to during the week of practice as they could be potential targets.

1. D’Wayne Eskridge, Western Michigan

During his college career, Eskridge averaged 23.3 yards per reception. If that isn’t an indication of the type of player he is, I don’t know what else to tell you. At 5’9, 190, Eskridge is incredibly undersized. But his overwhelming speed and quickness make him the ideal deep threat in the NFL.

If the Raiders wanted to add even more speed to their offense, Eskridge might be the premiere “deep threat” in the entire class. And if he can show at the Senior Bowl that he is improved as a route runner, he might end up being a top-50 selection.

2. Marquez Stevenson, Houston

Another burner at the receiver position, Stevenson had some huge games for Cougars over the last three years. He has better size than Eskridge (6’0, 190) and has the ability to create separation with ease. He’s a little reminiscent of Diontae Johnson, who the Steelers took in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Stevenson should dominate the 1 on 1s with his stop and start quickness and strong lower body. If the Raiders are wanting to add another explosive route runner to their wide receiver corps, Stevenson might be the ideal target anytime after the top-75 selections.

3. Shi Smith, South Carolina

Another possible late-round receiver, Smith was essentially the entire passing game at South Carolina. He accounted for 46.6 percent of the passing offense last season, with most of his work coming from the slot. He’s an incredibly tough player who can also play on the outside, if needed. He should have a strong week at the Senior Bowl practices as he’s one of the most physical (slot) receivers in the class.

Grading the 2020 rookie draft class for the Las Vegas Raiders

The 2020 season for the Raiders is becoming more and more hindsight. Mainly because they didn’t make the playoffs, despite going 6-4 against the tough part of their schedule and then 2-4 the rest of the way.

In Gruden’s third year, with the last picks from the Khalil Mack trade on board, he needed to see those rookies step up for him. How did they do? Let’s see.

Round 1, Pick No. 12: WR Henry Ruggs III

Ruggs was the first wide receiver taken in this draft. Ahead of the likes of CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy, and Justin Jefferson — all of whom significantly outperformed Ruggs and his 452 receiving yards. You can include 25th overall pick Brandon Aiyuk, 33rd overall pick Tee Higgins, 34th overall pick Michael Pittman Jr, 42nd overall pick Laviska Shenault, and 49th overall pick Chase Claypool. The only WR in the top 50 with fewer TD’s than Ruggs’s two was Pittman (1).

Ruggs’s issues seemed to be about getting open and gaining separation, which is incredibly important for him considering he was drafted to be the team’s deep threat receiver.

Grade: C-

Round 1, Pick No. 19: CB Damon Arnette

Arnette was named the starter out of camp. Three games into the season, he suffered a thumb injury and was placed on IR. He returned week ten, started three games, but was concussed early in the final two of those starts, causing him to miss two games. He also landed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, returning to play the final two games.

His six full games were rough too, routinely getting beaten for big plays, including the one that cost them wins against the Chiefs in week 11 and the Dolphins in week 16. He had just two pass breakups and no interceptions on the season.

5 players to watch at the 2021 Senior Bowl

Believe it or not, the Senior Bowl is just around the corner. Next week, most of the top senior players in college football will arrive in Mobile, Alabama to show all 32 teams what they can do.

On paper, this appears to be one of the better Senior Bowl rosters despite lackluster quarterback talent. Today, we are taking a look at five players to watch in regards to the Raiders during next week’s practices.

1. Alabama WR DeVonta Smith

Smith was a late addition, but he is the best player at the Senior Bowl, by far. While he isn’t likely to be a target for the Raiders in the first round, he is just so much fun to watch. The Heisman Trophy winner should put on a show in the practices.

2. Wake Forest DE Carlos Basham Jr.

Bashman might just be the most proven defensive lineman at the Senior Bowl after totaling 35.5 tackles for a loss and 19.5 sacks in his career. He also appeared on The Athletic’s “Freaks List” as he reportedly has a 36 inch vertical at 280 pounds. Considering his size and all of his production, he is a worthwhile pick anywhere in the top-50. Keep an eye on him during the 1 on 1 pass-rush drills in Mobile.

3. Pittsburgh DE Patrick Jones II

Another EDGE rusher to watch is Jones from Pittsburgh. He totaled 21 sacks over the last three years in the ACC with 31 tackles for a loss. He has ideal size at 6’5, 260 pounds, but does he have enough burst and quickness off the edge? That will be something to monitor during practices.

4. Ohio State LB Baron Browning

The Raiders could be in the market for an off-the-ball linebacker on Day 2 and Browning would make some sense. At 6’3, 240 pounds, Browning is at his best going downhill and he can even rush the passer some with seven career sacks. His biggest question is his coverage ability, which will be tested in Mobile.

5. Notre Dame OT Liam Eichenberg

We know that Mike Mayock has strong ties to Michigan and Eichenberg might just be the best offensive lineman at the Senior Bowl. While he doesn’t have great athleticism, he just doesn’t get beat very often and has a ton of experience. Look for him to dominate the 1 on 1 drills as his technique is flawless.
