The Raiders have the 12th and 19th picks in the NFL draft thanks to the 2018 trade that sent star pass rusher Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears. Several receivers are projected to go in the first round. Ruggs and Oklahoma's CeeDee Lamb are considered by many analysts to be the best of the bunch. (AP Photo/Vasha Hunt, File)
