Las Vegas Raiders secondary suddenly has depth and star power
Final thoughts
Hobbs and Moehrig have the talent to be stars in this league for years to come, and if healthy, Mullen has proven to be a reliable cornerback. Abram is the big wild card going into next season, as he has flashed the kind of talent that would make him an everydown player, but he will need to prove to Patrick Graham that he can play at a consistent level.
The addition of Rock Ya-Sin I believe changes everything, as he is not only a playmaker, but gives the Raiders another cornerback who has gotten the job done at the NFL level for years. Averett and Phillips are solid depth guys, as is Harmon, who was dubbed ‘the Closer’ in New England due to his ability to nab late-game interceptions.
