The 2nd 2 are not connected to a city though, they are to the Raiders, even if they are not seemingly followed to the letter these past couple of decades.
Topical, whilst we still have Carr would be the Las Vegas Checkdowns

“The Raiders were born in Oakland, and played 13 seasons in L.A.,” Raiders owner Mark Davis said. “Both cities will always be part of our DNA but, today, we begin a new chapter in our storied history. For today, Jan. 22, 2020, we are now the Las Vegas Raiders.
“And, today, Las Vegas officially becomes our nation’s capital.”
LAS VEGAS — Raider Nation has a new capital: Sin City.

Kyle Dugger is listed at 6-foot-2, 220 pounds and has tremendous natural speed and athleticism for a man of his size. He absolutely dominates his level of college competition, using his ridiculous combination of size, speed and quickness to make plays all over the field.
Dugger changes directions quickly and starts and stops on a dime. He gets downhill quickly and does a fantastic job of knifing through traffic in order to make plays against the run. His overall coverage skills are a bit raw, but Dugger’s raw athleticism more than makes up for it at his current level.
While he is probably too big to play safety at the next level, Dugger may be the perfect off-ball linebacker for the modern NFL. NFL linebackers simply do not need to be as big and bulky as in the past. It is much more important for them to be able to defend with speed and quickness from sideline-to-sideline and make plays in coverage.
Dugger undoubtedly has the speed and quickness needed to play linebacker at the next level and plays with a level of physicality that should allow for a smooth transition. You do not have to look hard to see Dugger as a potential star off-ball linebacker at the next level.

Even tho there are a lot of WRs in this draft if we don't take one first round our next pick is round 3. Could be LB first pick then WR.

Ruggs the most likely

Gruden’s West Coast offense relies on short routes and quick hitters, so the Raiders should look at a draft prospect that wins with quick feet and speed would be perfect and give the Raiders some explosive ability. Enter Henry Ruggs III, a wide receiver from Alabama that some have compared to Tyreek Hill. Ruggs is a player that can take the top off a defense or turn a crossing route into a touchdown.
He not only has insane speed, but also has great hands as well as underrated route running ability, and general manager Mike Mayock has said that this team needs to add some outside speed this offseason.

NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports the Raiders were interested in impending free agent Robby Anderson before October's trade deadline.
Per Rapsheet, the Raiders were unwilling to surrender a third-round pick. Like Tyrell Williams, Anderson does his best work down the field, something that does not mesh well with Derek Carr's skill-set. Anderson is more dangerous in the short-to-intermediate areas than Williams. Regardless of potential fits with Carr, the Raiders badly need to reinforce their receiver corps. All signs point toward Anderson leaving the Jets.

Looking at the stadium cam there could be a problem with the sun shining on the field in the late afternoon.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Raiders will pursue Tom Brady if he doesn't re-sign with the Patriots.
The Raiders are the second team connected to Brady after NFL Network linked the Chargers as a "legitimate option." The interest isn't surprising — Brady was spotted with Raiders owner Mark Davis in Las Vegas last month — but whether they can lure Brady from New England "remains uncertain." The Patriots are willing to pay Brady in excess of $30 million to stay in New England, so money won't be the only deciding factor of where Brady plays next season. Brady is expected to make a decision on his future well before the free-agent period begins on March 18.
