3 cornerbacks the Las Vegas Raiders should target after first round
By Brad Weiss
Holding three third round picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders should turn their focus to the cornerback position, as there are serious holes there.
The Las Vegas Raiders have a number of different issues when it comes to their roster, and the cornerback position is certainly one of them. Heading into the new league year, they have some young talent under contract, but the position group as a whole needs help immediately.
Looking at free agency, there are some solid names out there, including former Dallas Cowboys corner Byron Jones, whom the Raiders have been reported to be in on. In addition, guys like Bradley Roby, Chris Harris, and Logan Ryan are all players who could come in and significantly improve the position in 2020.
Last year, the Raiders brought back Daryl Worley on a one-year deal, and he played well enough in his second season in the Silver and Black. In addition, the Raiders spent a second round pick on Clemson cornerback Trayvon Mullen, who looked every bit the part of a starting corner at the NFL level once he got his feet wet.
During the 2020 NFL Draft, the Raiders hold two first round picks, and while they could go corner with one of those selections, waiting may bring a talented piece as well. Here, we look at three targets at the position group after the first round.
