Watkins at #5

I had been thinking that Evans would be a better choice for WR for the Raiders because of his height and the ability to throw the ball up for grabs and let the reciever get it play. Not to mention the chance to trade down and get an additional pick or two.

But I was watching the Tuck rule game on NFL network and I started thinking about the snow and snow games.

Watkins on a WR screen in the snow would give the Raiders a deadly weapon that few teams could match up with. I don't know how long it's been since the Raiders viewed snow games as an advantagefor them, but Watkins could change that thinking.
