Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. Cornerback . 75. player. Utah. Jaylon Johnson. 843
The Raiders biggest liability on defense has been their effort in stopping the pass. As Oakland continues to stop the run at a rate which ranks inside the top 10, opposing teams have switched gears — exploiting the Raiders secondary with the passing game.
Jaylon Johnson is a raw unpolished cornerback who plays a super physical brand of football. He’s very aggressive which alludes to all his pass breakups throughout his college career. His high-strung play ability can hurt him at times when he becomes overly aggressive, but overall Johnson looks to be a solid outside corner in the making.
In 2018, Johnson picked off four passes and took one to the house for a touchdown — ranking third in interceptions throughout the Pac-12. This season he’s recorded eight PBU’s in eights games played — ranking fourth in the Pac-12. Overall, he’s still an unfinished product, but his upside is what many talent evaluators will be looking to tap into once the draft rolls around.
Pros:
- Long, physical
- Ball skills
- Vision
Cons:
- Short space coverage
- Grabby
- Liability on double moves
