Julian Love, Notre Dame

Julian Love is a guy who has a first round grade on him, but he has been mocked as going anywhere from late in the first round, to the second round. If he does fall out of the first round, and the Raiders are still looking for a cornerback in the draft class, Love would  be a nice grab, considering the Raiders currently hold the first pick in round two.

Love is a guy who has become a shutdown cornerback during his time with the Fighting Irish, and is a big reason why they are one of the few remaining undefeated teams in college football. He has the speed to make up for lost space in coverage, and is not afraid to come up and hit somebody.

This Raiders cornerback group has been trouble all season long, and we still do not know what we have in 2017 first rounder Gareon Conley. Conley looks so talented in spurts, and will likely be back in 2019, but Love would be a guy who can come in and start right away in Oakland, and that is what this team needs.
