Grade: A
Oakland added former Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant via trade Thursday night, but former Oklahoma State wide WR Marcell Ateman is a red-zone and big-play threat waiting to happen at the next level with the Raiders.
At 6-foot-4 and 220 pounds former Oklahoma State Cowboys wide receiver, Marcel Ateman would give Oakland another formidable option in the red zone in the wake of the loss of Crabtree.
Ateman was consistently productive over his four years in the Big 12. Ateman amassed 146 receptions for 2,466 receptions (16.9 yards per reception) with 13 touchdowns.
The Raiders continue to pillage the 2018 NFL draft class, landing their second decided steal of the weekend in former Oklahoma State wide receiver Marcell Ateman in the seventh round, No. 228 overall.
More than just a big-bodied possession receiver, Ateman’s big-play ability is evidenced by his 19.6 yards-per-catch average in 2017. He puts his massive frame to good use in the red zone and over the middle, and his ability to break tackles make him a threat to pick up big yards after the catch.
