Raiders Draft Prospect: CB Elijah Jones, Boston College

The Las Vegas Raiders will add young talent to their roster through the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Raiders put together an impressive 2023 class and are looking to stack classes in back-to-back years. New General Manager Tom Telesco will look to build a winning class in his first year in Las Vegas.

Under Coach Antonio Pierce, the Raiders built a strong defensive identity. Many of their defensive players are young and under contract, but they may be looking for more.

One player they could look to add is Boston College cornerback Elijah Jones. After an impressive week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., Jones is rising up draft boards.

Jones finished his Eagles career with 156 total tackles, four tackles for loss, two forced fumbles, 36 passes defended, and seven interceptions. He also has lots of experience, having appeared in 55 career games.

Jones is like many cornerbacks in this class when it comes to stature: tall and thin. He stands at 6-foot-2 and weighs 176 pounds. He has a thin, wiry frame. Despite his size, Jones still looks and plays like an outside corner.

Jones is an impressive ballhawk with high football IQ and strong instincts. He had five interceptions in 2023 as part of a career season. He had a 48.3 passer rating when targeted.
