Cornerback has been an issue for the Raiders franchise for some time now, but they got a glimmer of hope last season in rookie Trayvon Mullen. The second round pick from Clemson stepped into the CB1 role in a big way, and moving forward, is a player they can build the position group around.
During the 2020 NFL Draft, the Raiders turned some heads when they selected Damon Arnette in the first round out of Ohio State. Not considered by many as a first rounder, Arnette does impress on tape, and the hope is that he can challenge with Prince Amukamara for a starting role with the Silver and Black as a rookie.
