During Millen’s tenure as the chief personnel man in Detroit from 2001-08, the Penn State product selected a first-round wide receiver in four of those seasons including three-straight opening-round wideouts from 2003-04 (Charles Rogers, second overall; Roy Williams, seventh overall; and Mike Williams, 10th overall). The last one of the list: Calvin “Megatron” Johnson taken second overall in the 2007 draft. Thus, it’d only be apt, that the former Raider and GM with an affinity for wide receivers, announce Las Vegas’ second-round pick and said selection be a wideout prospect.

Granted, the obvious notion for the Silver & Black is elite tight end Brock Bowers is the de facto WR1, however, that doesn’t minimize the team’s need to bolster a wide receiver room chalk full of young and unproven talent. The Raiders did ink veteran Jalen Nailor in free agency and spent draft capital in the 2025 excursion to take Jack Bech in the second round (58th overall) and Dont’e Thornton Jr. in the fourth round (108th overall), so the cupboard isn’t bare.

Jack Bech’s fit in Klint Kubiak’s offense tempers Las Vegas Raiders’ wide receiver need in 2026 NFL draft https://t. co/0REEP7tai1 — Silver & Black Pride (@SilverBlakPride) April 7, 2026 Our Matt Holder broke down Plan A, B, and C for the Raiders when it comes to wide receiver prospects this past week, so let’s take a look at Day 2 prospects that have the production and talent to become Las Vegas top wideout: KC Concepcion, Texas &AM 2025 Stats: 13 games, 61 receptions, 919 yards, 9 touchdowns; 10 rushing attempts, 75 yards, 1 touchdown Projected as a late first-round/early second-round talent, this 5-foot-11 and 196-pound receiver has the quick acceleration and immediate separation that NFL play callers fantasize about. Able to put defensive backs in a blender and make them look absolutely foolish, Concepcion quick start and stop and ability to hit top speed in an instant fits extremely well with a Klint Kubiak-run offense.
