Connor Cook

Round (overall): Fourth round (No. 100)

College: Michigan State

Position: Quarterback

Ht/Wt: 6-foot-4/220

College highlights: 2015 Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award winning, Big Ten Quarterback of the Year and All-Big Ten first-team selection. Career record as a starter of 34-5 and went 2-0 in Big Ten championship games. Michigan State’s all-time leader in touchdown passes (71), passing yards (9,194) and total offense (9,403).

Pros: Experienced quarterback is a winner who played for a strong pro-style program and should have a chip on his shoulder after dropping to Day 3 of the draft.

Cons: Concerns about his leadership skills may have led to his fall in the draft after he was at once considered a potential first round pick.

Odds and ends: Cook’s father, Chris, was a tight end at Indiana, his mother, Donna, played basketball at Cincinnati and sister Jackie played basketball at Old Dominion.

Quotable: “I don’t think you can win that many games and be that successful at a program without being a leader. I think all that stuff was just so far from the truth.” — Cook on criticism of his leadership skills

DeAndre Washington

Round (overall): Fifth round (No. 143)

College: Texas Tech

Position: Running back

Ht/Wt: 5-foot-8/200 pounds

College highlights: First-team All-Big 12 selection as a senior after rushing for 1,492 yards and 14 touchdowns and catching 41 passes for 385 yards. Was a second-team All-Big 12 selection as a junior after another 1,000-yard season.

Pros: Fills a major need as the Raiders’ potential change of pace back who good speed, toughness and the size to give a different look from the 6-3 Latavius Murray. Has extensive experience in the passing game thanks to Tech’s spread offense.

Cons: Ball security is somewhat of a concern. He fumbled five times in 2016, losing two.

Odds and ends: “Pass blocking is all tenacity. You deliver a blow instead of take the blow, you’re going to win a lot more than you lose.” — Washington

Cory James

Round (overall): Sixth round (No. 194)

College: Colorado State

Position: Linebacker

Ht/Wt: 6-foot/245 pounds

College highlights: Second-team All-Mountain West selection had 25.0 career sacks, most coming his first three years when he played as a pass rusher. Moved to inside linebacker for his senior season.

Pros: Versatile defender thanks to his time spent playing defensive end, outside linebacker and inside linebacker.

Cons: Not the fastest or strongest out there and his technique is a little raw.

Odds and ends: Coached at one point at CSU by Joey Porter, the former NFL linebacker who is now the Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebackers coach.

Quotable: “I’m just happy to get over there and start helping the team out in any way possible.” — James

Vadal Alexander

Round (overall): Seventh round (No. 234)

College: Louisiana State

Position: Guard

Ht/Wt: 6-foot-6, 329 pounds

College highlights: First-team All-SEC and second-team All-American in 2015 who played in 50 career games with 46 starts .

Pros: Humongous frame and long arms with good upper body strength and has versatility from playing both left guard and right tackle in college.

Cons: He’s slow and needs to improve his athleticism if he were to be able to contribute at tackle in the NFL.

Odds and ends: He wore No. 74 in college in honor of Michael Oher, whose story inspired him after listening to an audio tape of the book, “The Blind Side,” that preceded the movie.

Quotable: “I’ve grown a love for both of them, really. So, I don’t really have one favorite to be honest with you.” — Alexander on playing guard or tackle
