Raiders DB Draft Targets | Why They Need a Slot Corner

Описание: Which defensive backs should the Raiders be targeting in the NFL Draft?

In this SBSN segment, Jesse Merrick is joined by Bleacher Report scout Matt Holder (Tape Don’t Lie Podcast) to break down the defensive back prospects who could make sense for Las Vegas.

They examine how the Raiders’ current cornerback situation — featuring Darien Porter and Eric Stokes (free agent) —could affect their approach to the secondary.

Matt explains why he believes the Raiders should strongly consider adding a nickel corner to strengthen the slot and identifies several prospects who could fit that role.

Players discussed include:

• D’Angelo Ponds (Indiana)
• Chandler Rivers (Duke)
• Chris Johnson (San Diego State)
• Jalen Kilgore (South Carolina)

The conversation also turns to the safety class, including why Toledo’s Emmanuel McNeil-Warren could be a game-changing option for the Raiders at the top of the second round.

Matt also breaks down why TCU’s Bud Clark could make sense in round three and why Arizona safety Genesis Smith is a name to watch after meeting with the Raiders at the NFL Combine.

If you want to understand how the Raiders could reshape their secondary in the draft, this breakdown is for you.
