10 potential Raiders draft targets whose stock rose at Senior Bowl

Hamsah Nasirildeen, S, Florida State

One of the top safeties in this year’s NFL Draft is Hamsah Nasirildeen, and he had himself a solid Senior Bowl week as well. His measurements are there, standing 6-foot-3, and he showed during the one-on-one drills that he can hand with the best wideouts in the country.

Safety is definitely an area where the Raiders need to target this offseason, and in Nasirildeen, they could get a guy who could come in and start right away alongside Johnathan Abram as a rookie.

Jabril Cox, LB, LSU

The Raiders attempted to fix the linebacker group via free agency last offseason, and the hope is that Gus Bradley can get the best out of Nick Kwiatkoski and Cory Littleton in 2021. However, they also could target some prospects to bolster the group, and Jabril Cox from LSU is perfectly suited for the Raiders scheme.

Cox went into Senior Bowl week as a potential Day 3 pick, but his efforts could launch him into Day 2, or maybe even the backend of the first round.

Cam Sample, DL, Tulane

Defensive tackle is an issue for the Raiders, and while the duo of Johnathan Hankins and Maurice Hurst should be the starters next season, they need more depth. The Raiders have tried to mix and match at the position, even spending high draft picks, but the group struggled once again in 2021.

Cam Sample from Tulane is an interesting prospect and someone who could be gotten on Day 3. He has a solid first step, plays with a strong base, and is good with his hands.
