Raiders felt the need for speed with selection of Henry Ruggs III

If you spent the last couple of months reading mock drafts, then you were fully expecting the Las Vegas Raiders to draft a wide receiver with their 12th overall pick. On Thursday night, the Raiders were on the clock in a perfect scenario, as up until that point, not a single pass catcher had been selected, giving them the opportunity to land the one they coveted most.

Raider Nation was licking their chops at a chance to land CeeDee Lamb from Oklahoma or Jerry Jeudy from Alabama, but to their surprise it was Jeudy's teammate, and speedster Henry Ruggs III who was the pick.
