CeeDee Lamb has spent a lot of time with Eagles; Raiders also interested
CeeDee Lamb is one of the top wide receiver prospects in the 2020 NFL Draft in a group that is extremely talented. He is likely to go in the first round on Thursday night, and there are a few candidates standing out as possible landing spots.
