“In the 2021 NFL draft, the Las Vegas Raiders select... Jaycee Horn, cornerback, South Carolina.”
This selection came to me about a month ago and despite none of the experts having him linked to the Raiders, I’m sticking to it. Horn has nearly identical measurables to Jalen Ramsey, but more importantly he has the confidence ("I'm the best defensive player in the draft") you want in a CB. Yeah the team invested a first round pick in Arnette last year, but he’s a concussion liability. Horn would move Arnette inside and possibly Isaiah Johnson to FS (don't rule out a Richard Sherman signing). With an important position like CB, you have to keep trying until you get it right.
Either Horn or LB Micah Parsons could be available at 17 and I would love either one, but Horn would have an immediate impact. IF neither one is there, I’d probably have to go with road grader RT, Tevin Jenkins, to solidify an OL in transition.
The NFL draft starts on Thursday April 29.
