The second LSU player to land on our list is Greedy Williams, who many regard as the best overall cornerback prospect in this draft class. The fact of the matter is, if the Raiders see Williams available after their first pick in round one, they have to grab him, as he is that special when it comes to being able to shut down one side of the football field.

During his time at LSU, Williams has developed a reputation of being someone you just do not want to throw the ball towards. He led the SEC in interceptions as a redshirt freshman last season, and despite hardly ever getting thrown to, he has two more in 2018. He would be a guy that starts right away in Oakland, and could have a Marshon Lattimore type impact in year one.
