Donnie Lewis – Cornerback, Tulane

After the guys at the top, it is not necessarily a great cornerback class, but a guy like Donnie Lewis offers some really nice upside. He’s got the right size at 6’0 190lbs and could add some much need playmaking ability in the Oakland secondary. While at Tulane, Lewis had 7 interceptions and 37 pass deflections so he can make plays on the ball.

While at Shrine practice this week, Lewis was praised for his energy and versatility so combine that with his ability to play the ball and there is some potential there. The Raiders do not have a lot of depth at the cornerback position, so a player like Lewis is worth taking a chance on.
