The Raiders round out their draft by taking a chance on another guy with a great physical profile but that comes with plenty of concerns as well. Brents is a big dude at 6-4, 202lbs and is a rangy player that uses his long arms and frame to physically intimidate wide receivers at the line of scrimmage.
Brents does not possess great speed as he ran a 4.55 40 and has had issues with route recognition and the mental side of the game. He has a tendency to get a bit sloppy with his footwork and that can of course lead to him getting tied up against shiftier receivers. There are big concerns about his natural fluidity and athleticism, but he is a big body that can hopefully be coached up to play either cornerback or safety at the NFL level.
Since transferring to Kansas State this in 2021 he is having his best college season yet and is putting up excellent production across the board. He has 36 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 2 passes defended for the bowl-bound Wildcats as they look to complete a great season in the Big 12. Brents would be a solid addition to the Raiders’ defense and he can contribute on special teams straight away.
