The Las Vegas Raiders held two fourth round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, and with their first one, they dipped in a very familiar well by selecting Clemson offensive guard John Simpson. General manager Mike Mayock continues to build up this Raiders roster with championship-caliber players, and men, so it came as no surprise when the All-American landed with the Silver and Black.
During his time at Clemson, Simpson was a two-time national champion, and was twice named All-ACC. In addition, he was not only named captain of the Tigers in 2019, but also went on to be a consensus All-American, so him slipping to the fourth round was a bit of a head-scratcher this past April.
