Cam Robinson, OT, Alabama

Largely considered one of the two best offensive tackles in the draft, Cam Robinson didn’t end up hearing his name called on day one. He could end up being a steal in day two.

As the anchor of Alabama’s offensive line, Robinson made it look easy, often locking up the best pass rushers the SEC has to offer, including Myles Garrett.

Robinson has ideal size, long arms and above average athleticism. He has the tools to be a fantastic tackle, it’s really just a matter of him putting it all together.

Most of the Robinson’s issues are coachable — generally poor technique, a tendency to lunge, playing with a wide base, pre-snap penalties and he does end up on the ground too often.

If the Raiders took him at 56th overall, Mike Tice could do wonders with him. He could plug in day one as the right tackle, with the potential to be the long-term replacement for Donald Penn on the left side.

Jordan Willis, DE, Kansas State

Willis might the most athletic pass rusher in the entire draft. And with the Raiders finishing dead last in sacks in 2016, they need all they help they can get in this department.

Willis will need to pack on some weight in order to be an effective pass rusher, but with a 40-yard dash, vertical and broad jump and 3-cone drill all testing in the 93rd percentile since 1999, he’s got quite a bit of upside.

On tape, he showed much more stiffness than you would hope, and his ability to bend through contact is average. He showed speed to power, but will need to get better with his hands.

But his motor doesn’t stop and and with the physical tools at his disposal, he can be the Robin to Khalil Mack’s Batman on a long-term basis.
