2017 NFL Mock Draft: First-Round Projections after Week 8
By Tyler Brooke
Even after bringing in Sean Smith this offseason, the Oakland Raiders could still use some help in their secondary. Fortunately for Oakland, there are a ton of potential first-round cornerbacks in the upcoming NFL draft.
Michigan’s Jourdan Lewis might not be the biggest corner in this draft, but he’s definitely one of the most talented. Coming in at only 5’11” and 186 pounds, Lewis still plays like he’s No. 1 corner. He does a great job of making big tackles in open space and also showcases some unreal ball skills.
Lewis could come in immediately and play in the slot for Oakland, which would be a big help for this team that’s been struggling against the pass in 2016. Doubt him because of his size all you want, but Lewis plays like an NFL cornerback.
