Raiders could pass on wide receiver in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft

The Las Vegas Raiders are looking to upgrade their wide receiver core in the offseason. And with one of the deepest receiver classes in recent memory, the 2020 NFL Draft should give them ample opportunities to do so.

With two selections in the first round and as many as five receivers expected to be drafted in the first 32 picks, it would make sense that the Raiders would address the position early on and secure a top-end prospect.

However, that might not be the case.

The Athletic’s Vic Tafur recently speculated that the Raiders could pass on drafting a wide receiver in the first round in favor of addressing the defense first.
