Las Vegas Raiders target SEC studs in 7-round 2020 mock draft
By Randy Gurzi
When the Raiders were scouting Clelin Ferrell, Trayvon Mullen and Hunter Renfrow — all picks of theirs from Clemson in the 2019 draft — they surely noticed K’Von Wallace. They surely also scouted him some more this past season.
Wallace lined up at safety but has the ability to play in the nickel as well. A four-year player for Clemson, Wallace recorded 156 tackles and five picks with one career touchdown. He’s likely a special teams standout early on but can produce in sub packages — with starter potential down the road.
Back on the clock with the 121st pick, the Raiders add Shane Lemieux out of Oregon. A strong guard, Lemieux has the ability to win with power and has a lot of experience. Vegas needs to infuse their interior offensive line with some youth and Lemieux has a lot of potential to be a long-term player in the NFL.
With their final pick in this 2020 NFL Mock Draft, the Raiders add another wide receiver with Antonio Gandy-Golden out of Liberty. The small-school kid comes in with big-time size at 6-4 and 223 pounds.
In just two seasons at Liberty, he had 150 catches for 2,433 yards and 20 touchdowns. As impressive as he was, Gandy-Golden ran just a 4.6-second 40-yard dash at the Combine which could hurt him as teams will question his ability to win against NFL corners.
His calling card will be his physicality and ability to win contested passes. And with the Raiders lack of depth at wideout, he has a good chance to get on the field early in his career.
