NFL Draft 2019: Biggest steal for each team

Another team that had a questionable start to the draft was the Oakland Raiders, who had three picks in the first round, including the No. 4 overall selection. With that pick, it seemed as though the Raiders were going to take edge rusher Josh Allen out of Kentucky. That ended up not being the case though, as Clelin Ferrell was their guy.

Sure, it can be argued that he was a better fit on their four-man line than Allen, who played a stand-up pass rushing role with the Wildcats, but he still landed in Jacksonville where he will play with his hand in the dirt. The fact is, good players can play anywhere — and if your scheme can’t find a way to use them, the problem is the scheme, not the player.

Oakland improved from there, which was a good thing for head coach Jon Gruden and general manager Mike Mayock because they took some heat for their first decision. Their best move of the weekend came with their second pick in the fourth round, which was when they selected Houston’s Isaiah Johnson.

A former receiver, Johnson converted to cornerback and has taken to the position well. He understands route concepts, which gives him great anticipation. Johnson also has excellent hands, which makes sense given his background.

He may not be a starter from the jump. Johnson still needs some work on his technique, but there aren’t many who doubt his ability to continue to progress and become a long-term starter in the Oakland secondary.
