Jamel Dean is a guy who can come in and play right away, and the Raiders may be able to wait until the first overall pick in the third round to get him. While some have a second round grade on him, he could fall through, as he is not a huge name right now, and the Raiders could use a player with his size, and skill at the cornerback position.

Dean is currently battling a shoulder injury, but it is not something that is going to keep him out for an extended period of time, or hurt his draft status. The likelihood is he will declare after the season, and is expected to be a player who will go in the second or third rounds of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Another big cornerback, standing at 6-foot-2, he was rated as one of the top cornerbacks returning this season, and he has not disappointed. He has nabbed his first two interceptions of his career, and in a down year for Auburn, has been a bright spot on defense.
