Raiders Cornerbacks: A Thin Line Heading into the Draft
The Raiders cornerbacks are facing a critical situation heading into the draft, with Eric Stokes as a known quantity, Darien Porter as a decent bet, and Taron Johnson still a question mark in their revamped offense. The unit overall needs serious help to compete against one of the leagues toughest quarterback divisions.
The team has beefed up their linebackers and defensive linemen in free agency and locked in safeties Isaiah Pola-Mao and Jeremy Chinn last year with fresh deals. However, fans and analysts are pointing out the gap, especially since the team traded late picks for Johnson and gave Stokes a new contract, but skipped big moves here like they did elsewhere on defense.
The team hasnt re-signed Kyu Blu Kelly yet, their only unsigned exclusive rights free agent, whos healing from injury, leaving a hole to fill. With the thirty-sixth pick, grabbing a corner makes sense if no top offensive linemans there, or spread picks later for depth, rounding out a defense already ahead on other fronts.
