2020 Mock Draft: Raiders add Lamb, Hurts in first round

Cornerback his been a revolving door within the Raiders organization for quite some time. After receiving some stability in 2019 from Trayvon Mullen, Guenther might have a playmaker to matchup against opposing team’s No.1 wide receivers. Opposite of Mullen was Daryl Worley, who’s set to become a free agent this offseason, so the Raiders could be in an active pursuit to upgrade the position in free agency and through the draft.

Notre Dame’s Tony Pride Jr. is a ‘project cornerback’ who has had moments in college where he looks like a big-play defender. Although, he also has moments where he gets torched in man coverage, giving up the big play. Pride has a track and field background, and his game shows it with his fluent motion of shadowing the receiver.

Last season, Oakland allowed an averaged of 256.7 passing yards per game. Playing in the AFC West, teams such as the Chiefs and  Chargers possess playmakers like Travis Kelce, Tyrekk Hill, and Keenan Allen. With that in mind, having adequate cornerback duos to matchup against their premier pass catching corps is a huge factor, and something the Raiders have lacked in recent years.
