The Raiders' Dream Second Round Scenario

Chris Johnson, not to be confused with the former Offensive Player of the Year with the Tennessee Titans, will soon be making a name for himself as he's one of the best cornerback prospects in his draft class.

His name may not hold the same weight as Mansoore Delane or Jermod McCoy, but when talking about this new wave of rookies, he will be right alongside them. The former San Diego State defensive back's best quality may be how pure he plays the position.

He sticks to receivers and plays on the ball at the catch point, with little in between. He isn't going to get penalized very often, and he has the speed required to keep up with receivers and not try to lean on his hands or athleticism to make plays for him.

He's also extremely versatile, and he's best utilized in coverage schemes. I say this is a dream scenario because it's likely he may not even be available when the Raiders are next on the clock. One of the reasons why he'd drop is that while he's hard to beat, once he does get beaten, he doesn't have the quickest recovery speed.

He also isn't physically dominant, which leaves him vulnerable to being dominated by bigger receivers and completely taken out of a play. However, that's not enough for the Raiders to pass him up if he's available in the second round.

Rob Leonard was promoted as their next defensive coordinator, and having Johnson be able to play on the inside or outside will be a huge help to him and their defensive success. The Raiders have to hope that the teams in the first round prioritize other needs.
