2017 Oakland Raiders Mock Draft: Speed and Depth

28. The Raiders have the biggest and best O-line in football and as previously mentioned, it is deep. Also previously mentioned is the depth of their big, nasty, deep, D-line. With Aldon Smith and Mario Edwards Jr. coming back soon, they’re deep in edge-rushers and interior rushers. <p>And now that Perry Riley is in Oakland, the Raiders are deep at the linebacker position too. But one area that couldn’t handle a rash of injuries to it right now is the secondary. Nickel cornerback D.J. Hayden is officially a bust as the Raiders didn’t pick up the option on his rookie contract.</p> <p>Plus they can use some speed as starter Sean Smith doesn’t matchup well will smaller, faster receivers. So the Raiders take Adoree Jackson at No. 24 overall, where I have them picking this week. Jackson is the fastest cornerback in college football as has the skills to play the position as well.</p> <p>This is just his first year focusing mainly on cornerback, and has come a long way from last year. Secondary coaches like Marcus Robertson and Rod Woodson can bring him the rest of the way. Then the Raiders have a lock-down No. 3 corner that can matchup with the smaller, faster guys.</p>. CB. USC.
