Dream signing: Sean Smith, CB, Kanasy City Chiefs

Realistic signing: Casey Heyward, CB, Green Bay Packers

Prince Amukamara (to a lesser extent) could also qualify as dream signing. Decided to give Smith the nod because of his impressive size and athleticism combination, and because he’s simply the better cornerback. Prince is younger and will turn 27 in June, but he has some health concerns. Smith will turn 29 in July. Either would be a fantastic signing, and I actually think Smith is one of the more realistic big names the Raiders might land.

Heyward is primarily a slot cornerback, but he has the size to play outside if needed. There also is that Green Bay connection with McKenzie, so he definitely could be a player to keep an eye on. Similar things can be said for Jeremy Lane, who has a connection with Ken Norton Jr. from his days in Seattle.
