Now that we locked up the TE position as we were all expecting
I would love either of those 2 CBs listed above or the top remaining player on OL.
Agreed. No wrs
I wouldn't mind a WR later due to the depth of this class, but not in Rd 2. If we remove the three WRs above from the top 12 remaining, here are the next three non-WRs on that list, plus some additional bonus OL and a sleeper CB that I think could start right away...
JPJ, Frazier, Suamataia, Melton are the four I would covet most in Rd 2 for the Raiders. Or a trade down to take Guard Christian Haynes later in the round.
*40. Kingsley Suamataia, OT, BYU (6-4, 326)*
Suamataia is still very young and lacks refinement in several areas, but his blend of size, mobility and core power are the foundation of a scheme-diverse NFL starter. He will require a patient coaching staff who can ease his transition to the pro level.
42. Junior Colson, LB, Michigan (6-2, 238)
Colson checks a lot of boxes for the next level with his physicality downhill, athleticism in space and iron-man toughness that he brings to work every day. He projects as an NFL starting MIKE early in his career and a more complete version of the Detroit Lions’ Derrick Barnes.
43. Mike Sainristil, CB, Michigan (5-9, 182)
Sainristil has obvious size limitations that will remove him from some team’s draft boards, but other teams will be more than happy to bet on his outstanding toughness, instincts and ball skills. He will compete for immediate starting reps as a rookie nickel.
*47. Christian Haynes, G, UConn (6-2, 317)*
Haynes doesn’t always play up to his testing numbers, but his play strength, football IQ and finishing mentality make him equipped for battle against NFL fronts. He has the floor of a high-level backup but should compete for starting reps at guard during his rookie season (similar to Kevin Dotson).
56. Dominick Puni, G, Kansas (6-5, 313)
Puni will get himself in trouble bending at the waist or letting his pads rise, but he plays big, powerful and sends a harsh message with his hands while staying controlled through contact. He can play tackle, if needed, but projects best as an NFL starting guard or center.
59. Patrick Paul, OT, Houston (6-7, 331)
Paul has the size and length to keep defenders occupied, but his rhythm breaks down quickly, and opponents will find success until he improves his rudimentary recovery technique and hand usage. Similar in ways to Chukwuma Okorafor, he has the tools to develop into a functional NFL starter, but he might require a redshirt year.
*63. Max Melton, CB, Rutgers (5-11, 187)*
Melton brings explosive speed and attitude to his coverage, which will interest press-man teams. His experience inside and outside (and on special teams) will help him see the field right away in the NFL.
