Raiders Select Speedster Wide Receiver Malik Benson

The Las Vegas Raiders selected Oregon WR Malik Benson in the sixth round (195th overall). Benson, who previously played at Hutchinson CC, Alabama, and Florida State, bounced back at Oregon with 719 receiving yards and 6 TDs. He confirmed his big-play ability with a 4.37-second 40-yard dash at the Combine. While undersized at 189 pounds, Benson's 2.60 yards per route ranked seventh among Combine-invited WRs, making him a high-upside, albeit unrefined, addition.
