Well, maybe not a roulette wheel per say, but just like there are many numbers on a roulette wheel, there are many intriguing names in the second round of the draft for Oakland. There are many players that many of you have put as your ideal second round guy based on your ideal first round, let us now look at these players more in-depth.

The format as such will be:

• Player's name, size, position, and college
• Player's picture
• Player Info and reason for selection
• Combine numbers
• First round scenario(s) that would lead us to draft said player
• Highlights if available

-Jarron Gilbert, 6-5; 280 lbs., DE/DT, San Jose State-

via assets.sbnation.com

Jarron Gilbert is a freakish athlete who can play either DT or DE very effectively. A rare combination of pass rusher (9 sacks last year) and run stopper (51 tackles last year) which is precisely what Oakland needs. Gilbert has elevated his level of play each year and is still getting better and better. Big, strong, fast, a combo Oakland's been missing from its DE's for years.

40-yard dash: 4.87

Bench Press: 28 reps

Vertical Jump: 35.5

Broad Jump: 9'11"

3-cone drill: 7.70

20-yard shuttle: 4.56

60-yard shuttle: n/a

Scenario: If Oakland doesn't draft a Orakpo in the first, Gilbert has to be strongly considered for the second round pick. Not many base ends in the draft and none as good as Gilbert (other than Orakpo)

Gilbert Highlights

-Ramses Barden, 6-6; 229 lbs., WR, Cal Poly Tech-

via photos-e.ak.facebook.com

Ramses or Crabtree, seems to the be the big question around here. Ramses is very good WR prospect, despite his small school status. But we all know Al loves the small school guys, especially when it comes to receivers (Shields and Schilens) Barden's draft status has been sky-rocketing since his recent pro-days and visits to multiple teams, including the Oakland Raiders. The Raiders even paid more attention to Barden at the USC Pro Day than the USC linebacker trio. Last year Barden nabbed 67 receptions for 1,257 yards. That's an amazing 18.8 yards per reception average. An even more amazing feat, 18 touchdown receptions, in each of the last two years. Though his combine numbers make him to be slow for a WR, his pro day numbers disproved that. Barden is huge, fast, and has the best set of hands, other than Crabtree, in the entire draft.

40-yard dash: 4.68

Bench Press: 17 reps

Vertical Jump: 33.5

Broad Jump: 9'10"

3-cone drill: n/a

20-yard shuttle: 4.26

60-yard shuttle: n/a

Scenario: If Oakland drafts neither Crabtree nor Maclin, than Barden has to be their pick in the second round. Best all-around receiver in the draft in my honest opinion.

Ramses Highlights

-Ron Brace, 6-3; 330 lbs., DT, Boston College-

via 3.bp.blogspot.com

Brace isn't a statistically impressive player with only 54 tackles, 18.5 of those for loss and only 5.5 sacks in two years. However, there's no denying that a 330 lbs, he'd be good for the NT Oakland's looking for. Only 5 pounds lighter than Raji and one inch taller, the two are nearly identical in every aspect. If Oakland's willing to pass on Raji in the first, they can get a DT extremely close to the same talent level in the second. Thus leaving them to get someone like Crabtree or Orakpo in the first.

40-yard dash: 5.50

Bench Press: 32 reps

Vertical Jump: 28

Broad Jump: 6'3"

3-cone drill: 4.73

20-yard shuttle: 8.15

60-yard shuttle: n/a

Scenario: If Oakland doesn't draft Raji in the first, look for them to pick up Brace in the second. If they selected a DE like Orkapo, Brace's chances drop considerably and there's still the chance Oakland might wait for someone like Terrance Taylor or Sen' Derrick Marks.

-Brian Robiskie, 6-3; 209 lbs., WR, Ohio State-

via media.ohio.com

Robiskie brings an intriguing possession receiver that Oakland should take a good hard look at. 127 career receptions speaks for his ability to catch the pigskin, especially since Ohio State liked to run the ball. Despite a bad 40 combine time, Robiskie does have good speed for a possession guy. Amazing leaping ability to match his size. He likes to go up for the tough grab and does this well in traffic. Can take a hit and still hold on to the ball. He'll have some trouble separating from the faster CB in the league, but he has the moves to break free against more zone type corners. He's an intriguing prospect who I wouldn't mind seeing develop with the Oakland Raiders. other stats: 24 career touchdowns and 1,866 receiving yards. Though his best season was his junior year.

40-yard dash: 4.59

Bench Press: n/a

Vertical Jump: 37.5

Broad jump: n/a

3-cone drill: 6.72

20-yard shuttle: 4.19

60-yard shuttle: n/a

Scenario: If Oakland doesn't draft a receiver in the first, look for Robiskie and Barden to be the top two receiver options in the second round.

Robiskie Highlights, sorry for awful music

-Connor Barwin, 6-3; 253 lbs., DE, Cincinnati-

via bearsnationblog.com

TE turned DE, sounds familiar don't it? Barwin is an incredible athlete who racked up 15.5 tackles for loss, 11 sacks, and 7 passes defensed in one season at DE! Just the kind of athlete the Oakland Raiders crave. Good size and amazing speed for a DE with the second best 40-time for a DE. He was even fast for a TE when he played the position. Very good against both the pass and the run, a combo that I've repeatedly stated is lost in this year's draft. He's been compared to Mike Vrabel, in that he can be a goal line offense threat, and great off the edge on defense. Can also play OLB in both 3-4 and 4-3 sets. Plus, check out that amazing vertical leap.

40-yard dash: 4.66

Bench Press: 21 reps

Vertical Jump: 40.5

Broad Jump: 10'8"

3-cone drill: 6.87

20-yard shuttle: 4.18

60-yard shuttle: n/a

Scenario: If Oakland doesn't take a DE in the first and Gilbert is gone, then Barwin's going to be very hard to pass up on. Even if Gilbert's there, it'll be tough to choose between the two.

Connor Barwin DE highlights

-Michael Johnson, 6-7; 260 lbs., DE, Georgia Tech-

via chi-ball.com

When I saw this guy was 6-7, I had to check to make sure it wasn't a typo. It wasn't. This dude is huge. Johnson racked up 17.5 TFL and 9 sacks last year. Many questioned his pass rush skills before last year, but now it's clear he's both a good run stopper and pass rusher. His play is rather inconsistent at times. Throw in a 38.5 inch vertical with that 6-7 frame and Johnson's a freak of nature. GT must like tall guys who can leap tall buildings with a single bound. He might struggle with some of the bigger OT's in the league but will still be a force. Fast, strong, and amazing size=good DE.

40-yard dash: 4.75

Bench Press: 28 reps

Vertical Jump: 38.5

Broad Jump: 10'8"

3-cone drill: 7.42

20-yard shuttle: 4.37

60-yard shuttle: n/a

Scenario: See Gilbert and Barwin. Some say that Johnson might be a first rounder though.

Michael Johnson highlights

-Evander Hood, 6-3; 300 lbs., DT, Missouri-

via farm3.static.flickr.com

Hood is a big DT who consistently gets penetration. Had 49 tackles, 8 TFL, and 5 sacks. One of the strongest DT's in the draft. He's not overly athletic like some of the other DT's in the draft. However, he's incredibly quick off the snap and has a good motor often bowling over the opposing guard or center. Draws double teams but excels despite the extra blocker. Lacks technique and doesn't disengage very well, but then again he doesn't really ever need to.

40-yard dash: 4.97

Bench Press: 34 reps

Vertical Jump: 33

Broad Jump: 9'0"

3-cone drill: 7.50

20-yard shuttle: 4.55

60-yard shuttle: n/a

Scenario: If Raji isn't picked, it'll between Hood and Brace as to who the second round DT will be. Both are very good and will be very hard to pick between.
