Jalin Hyatt, Matt Bergeron Could Go In First Round
Tennessee wide receiver Jalin Hyatt, Michigan cornerback D.J. Turner and Syracuse offensive tackle Matt Bergeron are three players that could vault into the first round of Thursday night's NFL draft as surprises, according to NFL executives. Up to six cornerbacks could be taken in the first round, starting with Illinois' Devon Witherspoon and Oregon's Christian Gonzalez. Up to five receivers could sneak into the first round, including Boston College's Zay Flowers, Ohio State's Jaxon Smith-Njigba, TCU's Quentin Johnston and USC's Jordan Addison. It's also very possible that the first pass-catcher off the board on Thursday night is Utah tight end Dalton Kincaid.
The Las Vegas Raiders have cut wide receiver Albert Wilson. The 30-year-old was signed to the active roster in Week 5 but did not see the field for any offensive snaps. The team has now moved on following its Week 6 bye as DJ Turner has been activated from Injured Reserve. Turner is expected to be involved on special teams but should not make much of an impact on offense unless Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Mack Hollins (heel) are ruled out against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Still, Davante Adams would be the only receiving option worthy of fantasy consideration in this scenario.
