28. Nnamdi Asomugha is the last 1st-round pick made by Davis that worked out the Raiders. He was also one of the last players Davis was able to show his incredible vision with. When he took Asomugha in 2003 out of California, he was a free safety. <p>But Davis saw a big, long press corner that could disrupt receivers’ routes all day. It took a few years but in 2006, he arrived with eight interceptions to scare opposing quarterbacks way. He would then become the least thrown at corner in the NFL.</p> <p>He had a run from 2006-2011 that he was the best corner in the game, shutting receivers down. Unfortunately, Asomugha was the only player worth the admission price of a Raiders game at the time. He played during the worst era of Raider football.</p> <p>In his nine years with the Raiders, he was on seven double-digit loss teams and two 8-8 teams. So while he made All-Pro twice and went to three Pro Bowls, he never saw the playoffs. He was a great player that couldn’t make a difference because the rest of the team as so bad.</p>. . .
