Oakland Raiders: 7-Round 2020 mock draft sets stage for Las Vegas
Even after taking Clelin Ferrell at No. 4 overall last year and having guys like Maxx Crosby and Arden Key, the Raiders still need depth in terms of pass rushers. And though he’s not in the same mold as his teammate, Terrell Lewis, Alabama’s Anfernee Jennings could be a nice addition to this defense.
Though not a fantastic athlete, Jennings operates off of the edge with a nice set of power moves and a polished game. He might not be a superstar for the Raiders but he can be a valuable commodity for them in their rotation moving form.
One thing that Gruden and Mayock have done well is constructed their offensive line and they have a number of long-term pieces in place. But one area where they still need to look to the future is at left guard to eventually replace veteran Richie Incognito. Jake Hanson could potentially play in that role.
Hanson is not a perfect prospect as he’s not a terrific athlete and still needs work in consistency, particularly in pass protection, with his feet. While that may be true, he’s an aggressive-minded lineman that should suit the mentality that the Raiders like to play with in the trenches.
The Raiders continue to get Justin Herbert weapons with their final pick in this mock draft. After landing Tyler Johnson early, they now get a late-round sleeper out of UCF in Gabriel Davis that could be a real asset for the offense.
Davis is not the greatest athlete but he’s speedy and has a massive frame that makes him tough to match up with. While he’ll 100 percent need to develop as a route-runner moving forward, there is enough potential there that he can add something to a shallow receiving corps.
