28. There are reports that nickel corner D.J. Hayden loves it in Oakland and the Raiders love him. He shouldn’t be too difficult to sign so look for him to be back with the Silver and Black next year. But that doesn’t mean the Raiders can’t use another cornerback.
<p>And Tony Brown will be there in the seventh round to bring in and develop into a solid cornerback. He is already a phenomenal athlete, an All-American 100-meter hurdler at Alabama. He just isn’t projected so high because he has been in some trouble in his time there.</p>
<p>Most recently, Alabama sent him home early from the Cotton Bowl for an undisclosed violation of team rules. He also missed the National Championship Game and some time this year with that suspension. And that isn’t all as Brown has a checkered past at Alabama.</p>
<p>He was arrested in January 2014 on charges of failure to obey and resisting arrest. If there’s a time to roll the dice on a great athlete, the seventh round is the place to do it. Defensive backs coach Marcus Roberts could mold him into something and if not, it’s no big loss.</p>. CB. Alabama. Tony Brown. 7. player
