Factoring in team needs with a lean toward BPA

Round 1

Picks 1-16 Picks 17-32
1.
Caleb Williams , QB , USC
I'd trade back and keep Fields. Finding that trade partner to garner value seems to high. Fields could fetch mid round values with a future 2nd likely conditional.
A flip of the coin between he and Maye. Hoping he can learn taking on linebackers is a recipe to a short lived career choice.
3.
Drake Maye , QB , North Carolina
Hopefully will have a line to block or a playmaker to throw to come September. Red-shirt might be a good idea so he doesn't lean on bad decisions
4.
Marvin Harrison Jr. , WR , Ohio State
A more physical AJ Green. The next generation of a diva/disrupting WR is the only concern.
5.
Joe Alt , OT , Notre Dame
Good trade back candidate who can pick up assets and still land OL, WR, DE or a cornerback starter. Cap decisions may make positions more of a need.
6.
Laiatu Latu , DE , UCLA
Medicals and athleticism will have to checkout for this high of a pick. 2 2nd round choices to hit on receiver and OL help
7.
Malik Nabers , WR , LSU
OL/defense could be a option but Nabers fills need with high value
8.
Terrion Arnold , CB , Alabama
Another good trade back candidate to secure picks headed to Chicago for Fields. CB, DL help can be had in the mid to late first. This seems 5-10 picks early for Terrion and he is no consensus CB1
9.
Rome Odunze , WR , Washington
Straight line speed worries could send him up or down the draft board
10.
Olumuyiwa Fashanu , OT , Penn State
They need a upgrade at several OL spots. He needs to start and perform right away. Could have gone higher last year might lead to a different prospect
11.
Cooper DeJean , S/CB , Iowa
Any spot on the defense needs addressing and DeJean can help solidify 1 of 3 spots
12.
Nate Wiggins , CB , Clemson
Another CB seemingly going to high but fills a need and kills the urge to take a 2nd round QB talent
13.
J.C. Latham , OT , Alabama
Lasting through his rookie contract would be a welcome outcome for both Raiders brass and their fans.
WR room needs a influx of cheap, young and healthy talent.
15.
Brock Bowers , TE , Georgia
I can see him being a top ten pick. A nice safety valve for Richardson with value in the run game.
16.
Dallas Turner , OLB , Alabama
A trade back candidate with no second and issues on the interior of both lines. Turner would make for a league envious pass rush rotation
