Damon Arnette has been around for a while, which is unusual at a school like Ohio State. However, in the first half of this season, Arnette is proving that his decision to comeback was the right one. Better coaching on the Ohio State defensive staff has allowed Arnette to shine this early part of the season and show he has what it takes to play on Sundays.

He will not blow you away athletically, but he is a smart player with a ton of experience as an outside corner and in the slot. The versatility, IQ, and confidence he plays with are what will allow Arnette to contribute to any team.

The Raiders could add good depth at any corner spot by bringing Arnette onto the roster.

The drawback is that Arnette isn’t someone you want to play consistently in press-man coverage because of the athletic limitations. However, if you can get a quality player with a ton big-time college football experience in the fourth round, that’s a win.
