1. Kaiir Elam CB Florida 6’2” 195- long athletic kid with really good speed. 

1. Christian Watson WR NDSU  6’4” 210- I know some might think it’s early, but this kid has a chance to be real good. With his size and 4.3 speed. 

2. Sam Williams DE Ole Miss 6’4” 260- Ran a 4.46 at thecombine. Is aggressive and nasty. Is relentless in pass rush. 

 

 2. Abraham Lucas OT Washington St 6’6” 325- big time pass blocker on the right side. Can step in Day 1. 

3. Danny Gray WR SMU 6’ 200- big time speed guy. Ran a 4.33 at the combine. Good hands and route runner. 

3. Tycen Anderson S Toledo 6’2” 210- super athletic kid. Tough too. Ran a 4.36 at the combine. Can play on the post or near the line. Great for TE coverage.

We have turned into the Raiders of the Midwest.   I like this draft.  Not sure about two wr's early though but other than that it hit all the spots.  This D could turn into a strength by 2023.

I think you're too early on both the receivers.  Watson is an intriguing case though, and you may be right in thinking he's not there in the 2nd with his crazy ass athletic profile.  I wish he was more of a hands catcher and he's still pretty raw with his routes.

Pick 50 would probably get Watson.  Throw in a 7 and move up a few spots if they think they need to.

Gray is a late third early fourth type guy. I think he has a little Hill in him too with his strong build, Ellie speed, and very good agility too. Great has shown very good after the catch agility too. 
 

Watson came from a run heavy offense with average QB play. The potential on him is a first round guy. The small school thing doesn’t bother me as much as e we have seen a lot of small school receivers turn into studs.

Oh I agree Watson is an alien.  Just think he'll need a year to get his routes right.  

Ty Thornton would be another nice target on day 3.

Don't know much about where a player is projected but doubling up on DE and WR in a deep class is good. Grabbing a DT and CB plus S is great additions. Then to go after prospective RT....even better. Hits all the areas we need plus LB. The S and LB alone would hopefully push out others from starting and relegate to ST play only. We all know who those 2 are if they come back.

BTW was watching Calvin Austin out of Memphis.  Holy shit that kid is lightning.  Great routes.  Just really creative routes.  Makes separation look easy.  Wish he had 2 more inches in height and a few extra sammiches.  I figured he'd be a slot with his size but he was always doing damage outside instead.  Just crazy.

Is he durable?  Pretty small to be taking hits in the pros.

Dunno.  And the few times I saw guys get a hand on him they knocked him off his route pretty easy.
