player. 28. <p>The San Diego Chargers held this pick, but they’ve decided to move down and build up their future assets. Mychal Rivera is no Antonio Gates, but he can learn under him and eventually take over when Gates retires.</p> <p>The Raiders trade up here in order to bolster their secondary, which in dire need of talent. Due to the fear of Jacksonville and Baltimore selecting within from this position group, the Raiders traded up for Jalen Ramsey. Whether you want to start him at cornerback or safety, he’s going to make all the plays needed to dominate receivers down field.</p> <p>When looking at his tape, the first comparison that jumps to mind about Ramsey is “this guy reminds me of Brian Dawkins.” Now, living up to the Dawkins comparisons is a huge test, but if anyone can fulfill that it’s Ramsey. With great size and a high motor, Ramsey can either be your shutdown corner or your high flying safety blazing across the field. He’s set to be the next great defensive player to come out of Florida State during the Jimbo Fisher era.</p>. DB. Florida State. Jalen Ramsey. 3
