Dee Milliner – By far the best CB in the draft and the only one worth even close to a top 5 pick. The Raiders need defense of all kinds and Milliner is an elite talent. When he ran in the 4.3s at the combine he solidified himself as a top 10 pick, probably top 5. The Raiders have no solid CBs on their roster and they released Michael Huff as well. Their pass defense was nothing special and it got even worse over the weekend.

Ezekiel Ansah – The Raiders had the 2nd least sacks in the NFL last year with 25. We all know the Raiders propensity to draft freak athletes. Ezekiel Ansah would help with both of those things. He is an absolute athletic freak, showing off his athleticism at the combine and when he absolutely dominated the Senior Bowl. Ansah played LB, DE and DT while at BYU and has the versatility that few in this draft can show. He is raw, but has possibly the most ability of anyone in this draft.
