Raiders Draft 2024: Ladd McConkey can bring much-needed speed and suddenness

Hunter Renfrow with homerun speed. That’s an apt description of Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey.

A very polished route runner who uses a dizzying array of head fakes and footwork, McConkey is a supremely quarterback-friendly target who can separate quickly, catch the ball, and gain valuable yards after catch (YAC) with his creativity and vision with the ball in his hand. The Bulldogs wide receiver stands 6-feet and 186 pounds, which makes him profile even more as a Renfrow type reliable receiver.

While wide receiver isn’t atop the Las Vegas Raiders needs list, a prospect who brings savvy route running, reliable hands, and top-end speed checks off several boxes that the Silver & Black need at the position.
