Jalen Nailor arrives in Las Vegas after being buried on the depth chart behind Jefferson and Addison in Minnesota, and the fresh start comes with real opportunity. His three-year, $35 million contract isn't true starter money, but it buys him a chance to compete for a major role in a thin Raiders receiver group.

STACKED’s take

Nailor's Raiders opportunity and Kubiak system familiarity make him a late-round target.

Arrives in Las Vegas at pick 151 after being buried on the depth chart behind Jefferson and Addison in Minnesota; fresh start comes with real opportunity in a thin Raiders receiver group. His three-year, $35 million contract buys him a chance to compete for a major role. Offers speed and familiarity with coach Klint Kubiak's system from his time with the Vikings, so the scheme transition should be smooth. NFL production simply isn't there yet, which keeps this squarely in speculative territory, but at pick 151 he's a worthwhile late-round swing on the chance he wins a starting job.
