Only Trayvon Mullen has provided quality early returns on the Raiders investments at cornerback. The 2019 second-round selection out of Clemson has been a shining beacon of the good that can come from draft picks. Yet, the jury is still out on Las Vegas 2020 first-round pick Damon Arnette and fourth-round selection Amik Robertson, as
Ray, just in the interests of accuracy, did you leave Isaiah Johnson (Rd4 2019) out of the list of CBs drafted after Conley for a reason?
Excellent catch, I added Johnson to the list. Five CBs the Raiders have spent draft picks on since Conley was a 1st rounder.
Raiders definitely need to add a veteran corner. I’m not sold on Sherman given his age.
Arnette has to show something next year, except getting hurt. Mullen is ok; not a top tier corner.
The Raiders need a strong leader on both the offensive and defensive side of the ball–someone who can get the team out of a fund when things go bad in a game. Witten did not seem to bring it which worries me a bit because that signals to me that the culture of the Raiders may not allow for such leadership.
