The Las Vegas Raiders are facing uncertainty in their cornerback lineup as Nate Hobbs enters free agency, while Jack Jones has been inconsistent and is set to become a free agent next year. Jakorian Bennett, though still on his rookie contract, has struggled with injuries during his brief career. This leaves the Raiders in need of depth at cornerback, a position they previously aimed to address in the draft.

Despite previous speculation regarding the Raiders' interest in drafting top quarterback Shedeur Sanders, analyst Kyle Crabbs has suggested that they should also consider filling their cornerback gaps. The team struggled offensively and defensively this past season, ranking near the bottom in scoring. Their need for talent is evident, particularly with multiple key players on expiring contracts.
