The combine will be crucial for him to restore any doubt on scouts, but if he fails to do so, he will fall into the second round, and the Raiders are in position to get their early draft steal.Ramirez is an intriguing small school prospect that needs to showcase his skills in front of others and prove that he belongs with the top prospects. Hailing out of Eastern Michigan, Maxx Crosby’s alma mater, Ramirez has all the potential to become a super star.Considered as a Day Three prospect, Ramirez is beginning to build momentum and can skyrocket his draft stock in front of bigger school prospects.The Raiders may have their eyes on a few defensive lineman now, but as the week goes on, they could be adding a few more to their lists.Defensive lineman will be the first to participate in drills starting Thursday, Mar. 2, 10 a.m PDT, along with linebackers.The NFL Draft will occur at Union Station in Kansas City, Mo., ending with rounds five to seven on Saturday, April 29.
