Here is a look at the Las Vegas Raiders’ safety position after the draft:
New free agent added:
None.
Free agents who departed:
Lonnie Johnson (Miami Dolphins).
Current free agents:
Terrel Edmunds.
Free agent who re-signed:
None.
Returners:
Jeremy Chinn, Isaiah Pola-Mao, Tristin McCullom
Draft:
The Raiders selected Arizona’s Tredyan Stukes with the No. 38 overall pick, in the second round. Stukes is a versatile player who can also play nickel cornerback. But he fits this system as a safety. His college teammate,
Dalton Johnson, was added in the fifth round at No. 150 as part of the Tyree Wilson trade to New Orleans.
Conclusion:
We could see Stukes get big playing time every early and he could tema with Chinn and take some playing time away from Pola-Mao. But again, We can see Stukes on the field as the nickel as well. Johnson may be more of a special teamer as a rookie.
