Raiders 2020 NFL Draft grades: Bryan Edwards what offense was missing

The Raiders waited all Friday to make their third-round selections in the 2020 NFL Draft.

They didn't try and move up despite a number of talented prospects falling into the third round. They stood pat and took Kentucky athlete Lynn Bowden at No. 80 and followed it up with South Carolina wide receiver Bryan Edwards at No. 81, completing the Khalil Mack trade with the selection.

Adding Edwards, 6-foot-3. 215 pounds, gives the Raiders a tough, big-body receiver who can be an immediate threat as a red-zone weapon. Edwards is best suited to fill a "big slot" role in the NFL.
