Raiders predicted to draft receiver Luther Burden III
The Las Vegas Raiders have traded for quarterback Geno Smith, reuniting him with coach Pete Carroll. The team aims to improve its offense by adding more talent around Smith, particularly at wide receiver. In a recent mock draft, the Raiders are predicted to select wide receiver Luther Burden III from Missouri in the second round. Burden, who is 6 feet tall and weighs 206 pounds, had a strong college career with 25 total touchdowns. Burden's performance at the NFL Scouting Combine boosted his draft stock. He is expected to start alongside veteran Jakobi Meyers, enhancing the Raiders' offensive options for the upcoming season.
