The Raiders didn’t want to miss out on a Buckeye. That’s why Damon Arnette is heading to the desert.

See For Yourself: No. 19 overall pick Damon Arnette
A few observations on Arnette:
a) He doesn’t lack for confidence, temperament. It will be interesting to see Abram, Mullen and Arnette in the same secondary. Lots of talking will be going on.
b) He is aggressive. He will come out and strike you
c) He looks quick, from a short area standpoint
What the video doesn’t show? His long speed. Second, that aggressiveness can materialize into PIs.
