The Pick: Devin White, LB, LSU
When the Oakland Raiders traded Khalil Mack to the Bears, many assumed the team would draft Bosa to replace him. That may happen, but as the draft order stands right now, the Raiders wouldn't have that chance.
Bosa is off the board, but the Raiders can still make a move to improve their defense. LSU's Devin White is a Myles Jack-like prospect with excellent speed, range, instincts and the ability to be a coverage defender in passing situations. This might be considered a reach for some given the position value, but White is the best player on the board at a position of need.
In this situation, the Raiders might also be prime trade partners for any team looking to move up and secure the top quarterback in the draft.

The Pick: Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
Had the New York Jets signed quarterback Kirk Cousins in free agency, I firmly believe the best move for them would have been trading up to select Ohio State cornerback Denzel Ward in the 2018 draft. That didn't happen, but the Jets' need for a cornerback is real even after signing Trumaine Johnson in free agency.
Greedy Williams is an excellent target to round out the secondary. He's long, smart, fast and comes from the same LSU system that produced star safety Jamal Adams. Put Williams alongside Adams, Marcus Maye and Johnson, and the Jets secondary is immediately one of the strongest in the league.
Fans would love to see a pass-rusher here, but after Bosa, there isn't a true edge player on the board at a value in the top five.
