The Las Vegas Raiders are a better team after a successful NFL Draft. However, they should still consider adding a veteran cornerback to their roster.
Since being hired, Las Vegas Raiders General Manager Tom Telesco has done an admirable job addressing the needs of the team’s roster. Telesco immediately began retooling the team’s roster and releasing and signing players as quickly as possible. So far, through free agency, Telesco has focused most of the team’s signings on the offensive side of the ball. Rightfully so, the team is much stronger on defense than on offense.
The departure of Amik Robertson to the Detroit Lions in free agency left a void in the Raiders' defense. While cornerback Jack Jones and Nate Hobbs are formidable starters, the Raiders needed more depth behind them heading into the draft. Many believed the Raiders could add a cornerback with one of their first two picks in the draft, but they used their first three picks on players who could help improve its offensive line.
Both players will have the opportunity to add to the Raiders' depth at cornerback, especially Richardson, whose frame and experience of playing in the best conference in college football make him a player who could develop into a vital part of the Raiders' defense one day.
