3 Potential Las Vegas Raiders from each CFP team to watch
By Nick Ellis

Grant Delpit (S)
If the Raiders bring back Karl Joseph, the Raiders won’t even think about going for Delpit. If the Raiders let Joseph walk, Delpit could be a real option for the team. Delpit is the best player on the field when he is out there, as he can do it all.
Delpit can make a huge impact in stopping the run as a safety, getting down the field quickly and making plays. Along with tackling, Delpit has phenomenal ball skills, using his 6’3 frame and aggressiveness to break up passes. Delpit lined up with Abram would be a dynamic duo for years to come.
Kristian Fulton (CB)
The Raiders have shown weakness at cornerback for years, and with Trayvon Mullen showing promise, the two could lock down receivers together for years in Vegas. Fulton is a monster in man coverage, something that the Raiders do not play enough of. Fulton may be more of a likely option if the Raiders make a change in the defensive coordinator.
Fulton can cover ground in coverage quickly, giving little room between himself and the receiver. Fulton can do it all, and will surely be a first-round draft pick. Fulton will be lined up against some of the best receivers in the country and will have a chance to prove he is a top 15 pick in the draft.
K’Lavon Chaisson (EDGE)
K’Valon Chiasson is a player that is not talked about nearly enough, probably because he missed all of 2018 with a torn ACL. This player has made his presence known in 2019, showing extreme amounts of explosiveness in his first step off the line. Along with being able to rush the passer, Chaisson is extremely quick and athletic for his size, being able to play coverage when needed.
Chaisson could be a diamond in the rough for any team that takes him, and although the Raiders most likely will not take a pass rusher in the first round, Chaisson will be fun to watch in this playoff, as he is a player that I believe will make his name known across the country in the next few weeks.
