2021 NFL Draft: Day 2 cornerbacks the Las Vegas Raiders should target
Paulson Adebo, Stanford
Paulson Adebo has an interesting tale that adds an aurora of mystery to his name. In 2018, Adebo had a phenomenal sophomore season, one that had many scouts among the league discussing his name in 2019 as a top corner prospect and a sure-fire first-round pick.
With that being said, 2019 was not the season Adebo and scouts expected him to have, as he seemed to regress compared to his superb 2018 season. So, Adebo made the decision to return for his final season in 2020, which proved to be a mistake as well.
There was no 2020 season for Adebo, as he opted out of the season to focus on the 2021 NFL Draft. So with a full season not playing football, scouts have to rely on his tape from 2018 and 2019, which tales the tale of two different cornerbacks, but with his size and play-making ability, he seems like a well-rounded talent.
So you have to ask yourself, with a full year away from football, are we going to get sophomore Adebo or junior year Adebo? Either way as a second-day pick, he is worth the risk here.
