The Draft

At pick 4 Rashan Gary will hopefully be available and the Raiders desperately need a pass rush to help combat Hill getting open in the secondary by pressuring the opposing QB. Gary had a 40 time faster than Aaron Donald and Margus Hunt at 4.61.

Gary didn’t light up the stat board or become a dominant player like Clowney in college, but NFL teams and defensive coordinators are chomping at the bit to get him on their field and develop a young player like him. Gary could be the next Aaron Donald and I wouldn’t want to pass up a talent like him.

At pick 24 one can hope Greedy Willams is still on the board as he was the top prospect after the combine. However, with Gareon Conley at full health, I don’t see why he and Deandre Baker can’t make a good tandem.

Baker had a disappointing combine but so did Tom Brady – look how that turned out. Two good corners will not only help with Hill, but also with the weapons Denver and Los Angeles have.
