For this year\u2019s draft prep, I wanted to do something a little different and, hopefully, more valuable for you, the readers. With that in mind, I created this \u2013 a list of my top players, in order, for the Raiders.<\/p>\n

Bear in mind that these are my<\/em> top players and they are specific for the Raiders. So I don\u2019t have any \u00a0quarterbacks on my list as the Raiders aren\u2019t in the market for a quarterback. If (when) a quarterback (or two) is taken in the top 13, it pushes a higher player on the board down to the Raiders. If for some reason no quarterbacks are taken early, here is who I think the Raiders should take in a worse-case scenario.<\/p>\n

Players off my board<\/strong>:<\/em> I have removed Jaylon Smith, Robert Nkemdiche and Noah Spence from my board due to injury and character concerns.<\/p>\n

Jaylon Smith will be getting his medical re-check in Indianapolis over the next week and that will clear up some of the questions about how his leg injury is healing which will clarify his draft picture a bit.<\/p>\n

As for Nkemdiche and Spence, it will be team-specific on how they answered questions in interviews and how the teams feel about them. As I have not interviewed them, I am removing them both due to character red flags.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The design of this piece is basically a running checklist on draft day. When a player is taken, I will simple cross that player off the list but like teams themselves, here is my draft board of the top 14 players so I know who I think the Raiders should take at 14 no matter who has been taken before their pick.<\/p>\n

I will also be expanding this post in the near future to add players in case the team trades down.<\/p>\n

I encourage you to give me your own top 14 in the comments or tweet them to me @AsherMathews<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TFDS Big Board for Raiders<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Won\u2019t be available at #14:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Who#1 – Jalen Ramsey \u2013 CB\/S, Florida State<\/strong> –<\/em> Potentially the most talented player in the draft, Ramsey is strong and fast. He played multiple positions at FSU including cornerback, safety and STAR (which combines some safety and linebacker responsibilities). Ramsey could also be in the running for the top pick even though corner and safety aren\u2019t usually considered valuable enough to spend a top pick \u2013 that\u2019s how talented he is.<\/p>\n

With Sean Smith and Reggie Nelson joining the team, the Raiders aren\u2019t hurting in the secondary as much as they were at the start of free agency but the team could still use additional talent back there and Ramsey is a versatile piece that can move around to many positions on the field to make a big impact his rookie year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Who#2 – Laremy Tunsil \u2013 OT, Ole Miss<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 The \u201ccleanest\u201d prospect in the draft in that he combines great size, measurable and production at a high-need position. Thus far in the draft process, Tunsil has been the overwhelming favorite to go #1 overall to the Titans. Even if that doesn\u2019t happen, he won\u2019t drop all the way to #14. Offensive tackle isn\u2019t the most immediate need for the Raiders but the draft isn\u2019t about the present \u2013 it\u2019s about setting a framework for the future and the Raiders do need a left tackle for the future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Who#3 – Myles Jack \u2013 LB, UCLA<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 Jack is a prototype for what NFL teams need in a linebacker in today’s pass-centric game \u2013 a coverage linebacker that also has the instincts to be able to get into position in the run game. In today\u2019s NFL, it\u2019s critical that linebackers are able to hold up in coverage as more and more teams use spread and crossing\/stacking concepts to make a defense not only cover the field vertically but also horizontally. The Raiders do have a need at linebacker and Jack would be expected to step right in and start.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Who#4 – Joey Bosa \u2013 DE, Ohio State<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Bosa lacks any one exceptional trait but he does everything very well. He uses great core strength to hold offensive lineman at the point of attack and is a force in the run game and he\u2019s relentless as a pass rusher. He has good size for the position as well.<\/p>\n

With him, the Raiders would have another defensive piece to mix in with Mack, Irvin, and Mario Edwards – and that’s before Aldon Smith comes back from his suspension!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Probably won\u2019t be available at #14:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Who#5 – Deforest Buckner \u00a0– DT, Oregon<\/strong> \u2013<\/em> Buckner is huge \u2013 standing at 6\u20197\u201d and almost 290 lbs with great length, Buckner is a nightmare for offensive lines to block out of the play. He has good core strength and can create separation with massive 34 3\/8\u201d arms. Even when the play isn\u2019t right to him, he\u2019s able to extend quite a reach to get into the play. He can play as either a DT or end depending on the down and distance. With the Raiders needing additional skill players on the defensive line, he\u2019d be a great addition for the team.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Who#6 – Ezekiel Elliott \u2013 RB, Ohio State<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Elliott is by far the best RB in the 2016 Draft and he boasts a great combination of size, speed, athleticism and elusiveness. He can break for a TD at any point on the field and that ability to give the team a big run on any down is invaluable to teams.<\/p>\n

While many people think that running backs should be taken in round one and especially not early in round one, the fact remains that elite running backs are a rarity and even with a shorter-than-NFL-average shelf life, they are frequently worth the investment for NFL teams.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not one who believes that picking a running back in round 1 is taboo. Most of the best running backs in the NFL are still high picks because of their great upside. Additionally, with today\u2019s free agency, four to five years is all that NFL teams can expect from their top picks. If a team invests a first round pick and gets five years of service from an elite running back before letting him hit free agency, that is still a definite win for the team.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Possible they\u2019d be available at #14:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Who#7 – Vernon Hargreaves \u2013 CB, Florida<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Hargreaves is on the shorter end of what teams would like, measuring \u00a0at only 5\u201910\u201d at the Combine. However, he understands the nuances of the position and has great athleticism. He times his jumps well and has great body control to be able to break up or intercept passes.<\/p>\n

If Hargreaves were an inch or two taller, I\u2019d have put him in the Probably won\u2019t be there<\/em> category. Because he lacks ideal height, I think he is one of the top prospects most likely to fall as teams picking high usually value players with prototypical measurable and who also produced in college.<\/p>\n

If he does fall to the Raiders, this would be a good pick up for them as he would bolster their still-fairly-weak cornerback position. With David Amerson and Sean Smith likely starting outside, Hargreaves wouldn\u2019t be expected to be plugged into a starting role immediately but could get work either as a backup outside or work in as the slot corner.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Who#8 – Shaq Lawson \u2013 DE, Clemson<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>I love Lawson. He\u2019s made his way up draft boards into the top 10 recently but I was on the Lawson bandwagon months ago when I first got a look at him. Lawson has great size for a 4-3 DE and he would provide immediate returns in both the run and pass game.<\/p>\n

Like Khalil Mack, Lawson is able to stand up offensive lineman and make tackles if runs come to his side of the field. He\u2019s also boasts a variety of pass rush moves and can get to the quarterback when asked to rush.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Who#9 – Ronnie Stanley \u2013 OT, Notre Dame<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Stanley is the consensus second OT in the draft and, like Tunsil, would help solidify and bolster one of the most important units on the field. There have been some questions floated about his work ethic and passion for football which Reggie McKenzie should focus in on when he interviews Stanley. If there is any hint that this is true, it should drop Stanley out of the conversation at 14.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Who#10 \u2013 Sheldon Rankins \u2013 DT, Louisville<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Rankins lacks the size that I think Del Rio and Norton would like at the DT position but he does offer great versatility and can play snaps at every position on the line.<\/p>\n

Rankins is great at getting past 1-on-1 blockers and he understands how to set up blockers by combining speed, power, a great spin move, and active hands so that he can get into the backfield.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Likely to be available at #14:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Who#11 – Darron Lee \u2013 LB, Ohio State<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Lee played around 232 lbs at Ohio State, which is too light for the NFL. He has worked on putting some weight on and was reportedly up to 238 recently. The extra weight is probably necessary to get him extra strength that he\u2019ll need to disengage from NFL-sized blockers but otherwise, Lee looks like he can be special in the NFL. He has decent size and great speed and athleticism for the position. He didn\u2019t have a lot of stats at the college level so this is projecting an improvement as he transitions into the pro game.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Who#12 \u2013 Chris Jones \u2013 DT, Mississippi State<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Although Jones is huge at 6\u20196\u201d and 310, he\u2019s active and athletic and he consistently penetrates into the backfield. The Raiders could really use a penetrating defensive tackle who can collapse the pocket from the front so that quarterbacks aren\u2019t able to step up into the pocket to avoid the pass rush. Jones will be able to use his size and length to clog running lanes but also provides the interior pass rush that the Raiders have lacked for a decade.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Who#13 \u2013 Josh Doctson \u2013 WR, TCU<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>In this scenario, the Raiders would go wide receiver in round one for two years in a row and would boast one of the better receiver corps in the league. Doctson has good size at 6\u20192\u201d and 202 lbs and boasts almost 10\u201d hands, which is pretty impressive. The Combine highlighted how much of an athlete he is \u2013 he tested in the upper percentiles in 20 yard and 60 yard shuttles and the broad and vertical jumps.<\/p>\n

He shows elite body control in the air and soft, large hands to come down with the ball. He has some learning to do as his route tree wasn\u2019t fully fleshed out at TCU but with Crabtree on the roster ahead of him, he has time to improve before being asked to be an impact player for an entire season.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"http:\/\/image.mlive.com\/home\/mlive-media\/width620\/img\/lions_impact\/photo\/20011508-mmmain.jpg\"#14 – Taylor Decker \u2013 OT, Ohio State<\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>The fourth Ohio State player in my top 14 \u2013 amazing when you think about it. I\u2019m not an Ohio State fan \u2013 I casually root for my Alma Mater, Purdue, who loses to them in the Big 10 \u2013 but they had a stacked team this year at multiple positions.<\/p>\n

Many people like MSU\u2019s Jack Conklin as the 3rd<\/sup> OT in the Draft but I\u2019m not one of them. Decker has a great combo of size and strength and he moves pretty well, I think. I don\u2019t see him as only being able to play right tackle, either. I think with a little work he can excel at left tackle in the NFL. Decker is also a leader and tone setter on the OL.<\/p>\n
