2017 NFL Mock Draft: Myles Garrett Goes No. 1
CB. USC. Adoree Jackson. 24. player. 28. We already know how good the Oakland Raiders offense is when quarterback Derek Carr is on. And on defense, the Raiders have improved and are still getting players back. So barring injury, look for the Raiders to be a complete team for the playoffs. <p>But one thing the Raiders are lacking right now that the Kansas City Chiefs just exposed is speed. They have no one that can run with speedsters like Tyreek Hill when he goes deep. Travis Benjamin just came into the division with the San Diego Chargers too.</p><div class=
That’s four games against extremely fast, extremely shifty receivers the Raiders don’t have an answer for. So here at No. 24 overall, the Raiders select Adoree Jackson to counter. Jackson is extremely fast himself and has the movement skills to stay with shifty receivers.
Jackson is the best athlete in this year’s draft and the Raiders need that athleticism badly. The Raiders can also use an actual threat to take a kick or punt return all the way back. With this pick, the Raiders give up less big plays and make more themselves.
