DeAndre Baker is one of the better cover corners in this 2019 NFL Draft class, and would be an instant starter on this Raiders football team. He has at least two interceptions in each of the last three seasons, defending 22 passes in that same time frame, and is a big reason why the Georgia Bulldogs made it all the way to the national title game last season.

Baker is a guy who is going to go in the first round, and the Raiders will be in business when it comes to the cornerback position. It will be interesting to see what the team gets out of Gareon Conley the rest of the way, because if he can show he is a CB1, Baker would be a nice compliment on the other side.
