Prediction: Jermaine Waller, CB: Raiders, Round 7, Pick 227

We started these predictions with a Raiders pick, and we’ll end it with another – just one draft slot after Turner.

Josh McDaniels will have an offensive heavy look at this team, but Las Vegas is in a division with Mahomes, Wilson, and Herbert: they’re gonna want any help with the secondary that they can get to shut these guys down.

There may be some more salivating cornerback options before Waller, hence this predicted draft spot. But if the Raiders still see him on the board in a later round, he seems like a great fit for them.
