Oakland Raiders: 7-Round 2018 mock draft after first wave of free agency
By adding Minkah Fitzpatrick, and to a lesser extent Siran Neal, the Oakland Raiders have already significantly helped their secondary in this mock draft. However, with their first of three sixth-round compensatory selections, the Raiders find another opportunity to add talent in the secondary.
Greg Stroman is an impressive cover corner who could become a real weapon at the next level. He is a strong athlete who shows the combination of speed, quickness and length to handle many different kinds of wide receivers. At 6-foot-0, 180 pounds, Stroman has an extremely slight frame and that will severely limit his ability in run support at the next level. That being said, his coverage upside is certainly worth taking a chance on in this range of the draft.
Cole Madison is a great athlete for an offensive lineman who shows impressive overall pass protection ability. He gets out of his stance quickly and immediately puts himself in a good pass blocking set. Madison handles speed on the edge extremely well and is an impressive move blocker in the run game.
That being said, his power at the point of attack is extremely lacking. Madison will struggle at times against stronger players on the edge, not being able to consistently anchor in pass sets. He also may struggle to move bigger defensive linemen out of the way in the run game.
Madison is not a perfect offensive line prospect, but his athleticism and ability to handle speed make him an interesting player. I could see Madison coming in and challenging at the right tackle position, and at worst, he should provide quality depth at many positions up front.
