Key Stats: Before his senior season ended prematurely because of a life-threatening injury, Hayden played in nine games and intercepted four passes, two of which he returned for touchdowns. In two seasons at Houston, he exhibited ballhawking skills with six forced fumbles and six interceptions.
NFL Potential: Hayden has average size and strength by NFL standards but reportedly wooed scouts when he ran the 40-yard dash in 4.33 seconds and recorded a a 33.5-inch vertical leap during Houston's Pro Day in mid-March. He has outstanding closing speed and anticipation skills to make a play on the ball even after he is beaten in pass coverage. His comeback from a serious injury shows his strong motivation and character.
Injury Concerns: Hayden reportedly was moments from death last Nov. 6 after a collision during practice. A teammate's knee to the chest tore Hayden's inferior vena cava — the primary vein which carries blood from the lower half of the body back up to the heart. He was taken to a hospital and underwent lifesaving surgery.
Did You Know?: Hayden is the first cornerback selected by the Raiders in the first round since Fabian Washington in 2005.
Key Stats: In the 2012 season with the Seminoles, Watson allowed just one sack in 13 games. He started 12 games for a Florida State offense that set a school record with 6,591 total yards.
NFL Potential: Some draft prognosticators had Watson going in the first round. He is considered strong and physical yet unpolished in blocking technique.
Did You Know?: A native of Manchester, England, Watson reportedly grew up playing soccer, basketball and boxed. He played one season of basketball at Marist College before trying football at Saddleback College in Mission Viejo, Calif. He played one season at Florida State before foregoing his remaining college eligibilty.

NFL Potential: Tough, disciplined linebacker who exhibited playmaking ability (16 sacks, four interceptions, four forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 41 games) as a collegian. Moore is a strong competitor and explosive hitter who will be a special teams contributor as a rookie as he battles for playing time at weak-side linebacker.
Did You Know?: Moore was born in Liberia in Africa but moved to the U.S. as a child.
Key Stats: As a junior in the 2011 season, Wilson threw for 3,638 yards, 24 touchdowns and only six interceptions in leading the Razorbacks to an 11-2 record. In 2012, he threw for 3,387 yards, 21 touchdowns and 13 interceptions as Arkansas went 4-8.
NFL Potential: Strong-armed quarterback whose drafting position dipped after an inconsistent senior season compared to a strong junior season. With the Raiders, Wilson will compete for playing time with projected starter Matt Flynn and Terrelle Pryor.
Did You Know?: Wilson is only the fourth quarterback drafted by the Raiders since 1993, following No. 1 overall pick in 2007 JaMarcus Russell, 2005 third-rounder Andrew Walter and 2001 second-rounder Marques Tuiasosopo in 2000.
Key Stats: Kasa had 25 catches for 391 yards and three touhdowns for the Buffaloes during the 2012 season. He reportedly switched from defensive end to tight end eight games into his junior season.
NFL Potential: Kasa could land a spot on Oakland's regular-season roster because of a lack of depth at tight end. The Raiders lost starter Brandon Myers, who signed with the New York Giants after the 2012 season. Backups David Ausberry and Richard Gordon are the only tight ends with NFL experience on the Raiders' roster.
Did You Know?: Kasa is the second player selected by Oakland during the 2013 draft who was coached by the Raiders staff during the Senior Bowl. Offensive tackle Menelik Watson, a second-round choice of the Raiders, also played in the 2013 Senior Bowl.

Did You Know?: Murray is the first Central Florida player to have a rushing touchdown in nine straight games.
Key Stats: Rivera contributed 36 receptions for 562 yards and five touchdowns for the Volunteers during the 2012 season.
NFL Potential: Rivera could earn a spot on Oakland's regular-season roster because of a lack of depth at tight end. The Raiders lost starter Brandon Myers, who signed with the New York Giants after the 2012 season. Backups David Ausberry and Richard Gordon are the only tight ends with NFL experience on the Raiders' roster.
Did You Know?: Rivera is the second Volunteers tight end to have 1,000 plus receiving yards in a career, finishing with 1,018, joining Reggie Harper (school record 1,141).
Key Stats: McGee contributed a sack and 2.5 tackles for loss in six games for the Sooners during the 2012 season. He reportedly spent the first six games of the season suspended for violating university rules during the preseason.
NFL Potential: McGee has a chance of earning playing time as a rookie because Oakland did not re-sign former starting defensive tackles Richard Seymour and Tommy Kelly. The Raiders also lost quality reserve Desmond Bryant, who signed with the Cleveland Browns after the 2012 season.
Did You Know?: As a sophomore in 2010, McGee had a career-high two tackles for loss against Cincinnati.
Key Stats: Butler had 24 catches for 347 yards and four touchdowns for the Aztecs during the 2012 season.
