Raiders 7-round mock draft: Las Vegas trades down in the first round

Currently, the Raides hold the No. 81 overall selection, but in this mock draft, they swing a trade with the New Orleans Saints for pick No. 88 overall, as well as adding another fourth round pick. That pick will come in at No. 130, so they now hold pick No. 121 and 130 in that round.

With this pick, the Raiders add another cornerback to the mix, bringing in Amik Robertson from Louisiana Tech. While he may not have played at a powerhouse program in college, he has everything you look for in an NFL cornerback, and ranked atop of almost every category given by Pro Football Focus for cornerback prospects.

Ranking above top prospects like Jeffrey Okudah and C.J. Henderson in some categories, Robertson is a tremendous value this late in the draft.  So why does he fall this far? He’s a 5-foot-8, 175 pounder who did not play at a big program.

Throw on his tape, however, and watch a competitive, quick-footed, feisty cornerback that could learn behind a veteran for a year or two like Lamarcus Joyner. From there, he could possibly blossom into a starting slot/nickel corner.
