Okay, okay. I know we said the Raiders were going to spend their first round picks on defense. Well, now that the Raiders’ wide receiver corps is completely diminished, taking a top wideout may not be such a bad idea. At one point this season, Brandon LaFell was Oakland’s primary target at the receiver position. He was signed two weeks prior.

Frankly, the Raiders have a long way to go and can use help in many areas. When they traded away Khalil Mack, they were probably hoping for a little bit higher first round pick from the Bears. But, even with Mitchell Trubisky being injured, the Bears are playing relatively well and will likely get a later first round pick.

Marquise Brown is one of Kyler Murray’s favorite targets on the outside. Brown has ten touchdowns on the season, averaging almost one score a game. He is speedy and has the potential to be a Tyreek Hill type of playing in the NFL.
