Las Vegas Raiders
Round 1 • Pick 14
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Fiercely competitive with immense football character. Different teams may have differing opinions of how best to utilize him, but Joseph has proven he can make plays in man coverage or play disciplined enough to be trusted on the back. His average size and subsequent durability will concern some teams due to his aggressive, attacking demeanor; however, Joseph is talented enough to become an early starter and high-impact safety down the road if the medicals check out.

Round 3 • Pick 14
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Worley has good deep speed and excellent ball skills, but lacks the agility and hips to maintain his feel for receivers underneath. A move to a defense that employs more press and trail technique should benefit him and teams looking for range and instincts could try him at free safety. Worley's traits make him worthy of a Day 3 selection, but his success may be tied to his scheme fit.

Round 5 • Pick 20
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Athletic safety who flashes enough ability high and low to believe that he won’t be pigeonholed as one type of safety or another. Dillon has the athleticism and ball skills to help in man coverage and enough awareness from the high safety spot to handle his duties. Dillon has allowed entirely too many missed or broken tackles over the last couple of seasons, but that can be improved with more muscle on his frame and a more technique-driven approach. Intriguing prospect with developmental traits.

Round 4 • Pick 15
ACQUIRED VIA
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Kwiatkoski is known for his weight room work and has transitioned his body type from safety to inside linebacker. He has some physical limitations that could prevent him from becoming a full-time starter, but his mean streak and ability to finish as a tackler could serve him well as a special teamer which is likely how he will have to make a team.

Round 5 • Pick 14
PLAYER ANALYSIS
Smallwood changed West Virginia from an "Air Raid" offense to a "ground and pound" attack. Smallwood's tape features few, true flash plays, but the quality runs seem to stack up one after another. His intelligence in pass pro and ability to catch the ball out of the backfield give him an immediate shot as a third-down back, but his combine could determine whether he hears his name on Day 3 of the draft or not.

PLAYER ANALYSIS
Primarily a tackle in college, some evaluators do not believe he has enough overall length to be considered as a tackle prospect, but rather a guard. Lucas does a respectable job as a college lineman, but a jump in competition at the professional level could expose some physical flaws that won't be easily correctable. Lucas could make it into an NFL camp at some point.
