We’ll see what happens there and when the draft comes, the Raiders can’t resist Obi Melifonwu. The former CB is 6’4″, 225 pounds, runs a 4.40 40 and hasn’t lost his coverage skills. He’ll be the type of S that can shut today’s big, athletic TEs down with the talent he has.
There’s an invasion of athletic TEs entering the NFL this year plus Travis Kelce is with the Kansas City Chiefs. TEs would be one less worry for the Raiders defense if the Raiders pick Melifonwu. And if they get enough of those free agents, the Silver and Black will be back in 2017.
