And the Raiders Mr. Irrelevant should be none other that cornerback Imoan Claiborne. The Raiders like their young corners but lost two vets so they should and will likely bring a young one in. With all of the four-wide and empty backfield sets these days, you can never have too many corners.
Claiborne looked like he has the ability to run and stay with receivers at the Senior Bowl. With his small size, quickness and ability to flip his hips, he looks like he can be a good slot cornerback. I think that the Senior Bowl Week he had put the kid from Northwestern right on the edge of the NFL’s radar so this is a good place to take him.
