Oakland Raiders midseason full seven-round 2019 Mock Draft
By Brad Weiss
When it comes to the Raiders, they have tried to fix the cornerback position in many different ways, whether it was with high draft picks, or free agents. During the 2017 NFL Draft, they selected Ohio State cornerback Gareon Conley in the first round, and he has struggled to start his NFL career, though we have seen flashes in recent weeks.
With one of their three draft picks in the first round next April, the Raiders are going to try and bring in talent for their secondary, which has been very leaky once again in 2018. One player they could get this late in round one, which would be the Chicago Bears pick right now, is Treyvon Mullen, who is one of the better cornerbacks in not only the ACC, but in college football.
Adding a player like Mullen would be a solid fit, because if the Raiders do make Conley a big part of their future, the team would have two, young and talented cornerbacks on the roster. Mullen has the ability to shut down one side of the field, and as we saw on Thursday night against San Francisco, so does Conley.
