9. Raiders: Laviska Shenault, WR, Colorado

This would be the most true-to-form selection in the draft. The Raiders have a history of taking the flashy player early in the draft.

However, that isn’t to say that Leviska Shenault isn’t worthy of a high draft pick. That’s especially true now that Antonio Brown has left town.

A big part of Shenault’s value comes in his versatility. He’s great as a traditional wideout, but he can also do much more. In his time at Colorado, he has lined up out wide, in the slot, and even in the quarterback spot in the wildcat.

Shenault is a playmaker, plain and simple. It’s hard to see a situation where Jon Gruden doesn’t fall in love with the Colorado wide out.
