The Las Vegas Raiders didn't have a chance to host the 2020 NFL draft, but the organization still found a way to own the event during its second day.

Head coach Jon Gruden and general manager Mike Mayock have a vision of what the team should look like and how it can compete in the AFC West, where the reigning Super Bowl champions set the standard for offensive football.

"We don't want to have a good receiving corps, I want to have the best receiving corps in football, and I think in order to have the best you have to have the best, and in my opinion we added the best wide receiver in football," Gruden told reporters last year during Antonio Brown's introductory press conference.
