Jets GM's Comments Could Bode Well for Raiders' Chances at Landing Jerry Jeudy

After the Antonio Brown experiment failed so spectacularly in 2019, the Las Vegas Raiders are in need of another solution at wide receiver. Tyrell Williams was a solid option last season, but certainly not a clear No. 1. As the current free agent pool of wideouts continues to dry up, it's clear that the draft may be Mike Mayock and Co.'s best bet at securing a compelling target for Derek Carr. And with New York Jets general manager Joe Douglas commenting that Gang Green might go for an offensive lineman, the Raiders could be in prime position to get one of the best: Jerry Jeudy.

Douglas expressed a belief that the NFL doesn't have a surplus of talent in the trenches. Whether that's true or not, if the Jets pass on receiver at pick No. 11, the Raiders will probably be wide open to take the all-world Alabama standout immediately after.

Many believed the Jets would move on a receiver because of their own considerable lack of talent. With Robby Anderson officially gone, Sam Darnold doesn't have any great targets to count on in 20209. Neglecting that need with their first pick, however, gives Vegas a prime opportunity to snag their most promising wideout since Amari Cooper.

Jeudy racked up 2,742 receiving yards and 26 touchdowns in three years with the Crimson Tide. Averaging 17.2 yards per catch over his career, he'll be a promising, high-ceiling addition no matter where he ends up. If Douglas makes a surprise move and passes on him, the Black and Silver should absolutely pounce at the opportunity.
