Scouting Report. Alabama. Evan Neal. player. Pick Analysis. OT. 3. 52

3. Jacksonville Jaguars: Evan Neal, OT, Alabama

This past draft kicked off with the Jacksonville Jaguars taking quarterback Trevor Lawrence. They also brought in his former running back Travis Etienne which will make a huge impact on their offense. Having said that, they can still use some help on the O-line.

Yes, they brought in Walker Little but he has some injury concerns meaning he’s not a sure thing. Even if he does pan out, they need to make sure to keep Lawrence happy, and bringing in the top offensive tackle in 2022 should do that.

Evan Neal is the next in a continuous line of pro prospects to play on the line for the Crimson Tide. He’s massive at 6-7 and 359 pounds and can play guard or tackle. Neal is also already very experienced and should be a plug-and-play starter.

4. Las Vegas Raiders: Justyn Ross, WR, Clemson

Throw out the first round and the Las Vegas Raiders had a pretty good draft. Although, it was rather weird to see how many safeties they drafted.

Still, they brought in a lot of talent but they can still use some more help at wide receiver. That’s why they take Justyn Ross from Clemson who ends up being our top wideout in this class. In two seasons, he has 1,865 yards with 112 receptions and 17 touchdowns.

For Las Vegas, however, his most important trait is that he played at Clemson. As long as you came from there, or Alabama, there’s a good chance the Raiders will draft you in the first.
