Oakland Raiders 7-Round Mock Draft entering Super Bowl Sunday
By Brad Weiss
One player who has seen his stock rise over the last month or so has been Nasir Adderley, a standout safety from the University of Delaware. While Delaware is not a powerhouse by any means, Adderley has the talent to be a standout player at the next level, and would be entering a very solid situation in Oakland.
The Raiders got a solid effort from two safeties last season, as former first rounder Karl Joseph, and the gritty Erik Harris really solidified their places on the team. Harris will be a restricted free agent this offseason, but should be back with the Silver and Black, who gave him a real chance to be an NFL player this past season.
Adderley could step in and be a starter alongside Joseph, moving Harris to a depth role, where he is better suited at this point in his career. All of a sudden, the Raiders could have a solid secondary, which is needed in a division that sees them play the likes of Patrick Mahomes and Philip Rivers twice a season.
