Las Vegas Raiders: 5 prospects to target on Day 3 of the 2020 NFL Draft
By Alex Perl
Rashard Lawrence, DT, LSU
Here it is again, another LSU player, but Rashard Lawrence has potential to be special. The big man plays with big-time aggression and is a leader who takes no plays off once on the field. His high motor and ability to clog the middle should be coveted by many teams around the league.
He does lack lateral quickness and his injury history is concerning, but with a later pick Lawrence could be a potential low-risk, high-reward kind of player.
Bryce Hall, CB, Virginia
Injuries have a way of dropping superior talent into the later rounds, which is the case for Bryce Hall. Hall was once projected as a first-round pick going into his senior year at Virginia, but then in the sixth game of the year, disaster struck.
A nasty ankle injury ended his season and he would go on to get surgery. Prior to this, Hall was an elite prospect with great height and length, exceptional coverage skills with a knack for disruption. Taking a flier on Hall this late, could be a worthy investment as he works himself back into playing shape.
Madre Harper, CB, Southern Illinois
There are two things you can not teach, and that is size and speed. Enter Harper, a cornerback who possesses both. At 6’2 with 4.4 speed and arm length measured at almost 34 inches, he is a freak of a specimen. His length and athleticism give receivers fits, and he has potential to be a true shutdown corner. He may be unknown to many, but his Richard Sherman like potential should not be ignored.
