The Raiders secondary may be the biggest issue on the team, and although they do not address it in the first round, they get a good player in Jaylon Johnson in the third round.

At 6’0, 195-pound, Johnson is incredibly aggressive in his pass protection. Johnson has recorded seven career interceptions for Utah and is a big part of the team’s recent success. With the loss of Gareon Conley and the inconsistency of Daryl Worley, Johnson would be a great addition to lineup opposite of Trayvon Mullen in the future.

The Raiders have two other third-round picks, so if they feel like there are better options at cornerback, they may wait, but Johnson will not be on the board long and would be a steal to get in the third round.
