NFL Mock Draft 2016: Pre-Scouting Combine edition

player. 28. <p>Cornerback might be the biggest need for the Oakland Raiders at this juncture and, if you believe other mock drafts that are floating around at this stage, it would be an incredible steal to come away with Vernon Hargreaves III with the 14th overall pick. For me, Hargreaves III is a bit of an overrated commodity, and his stock has fallen just a touch since he was fleeced in the Citrus Bowl by various wide receivers from Michigan. However, there is no one denying the raw ability that he brings to the table, and from a wider perspective, Hargreaves III was an electric college player at Florida.</p> <p>D.J. Hayden hasn’t exactly lived up to the bill as a previous high draft pick for the Raiders, and that could scare Oakland off of taking a corner in round one. Still, Hargreaves III is generally seen as a player that occupies a higher tier than some of the other corners (Eli Apple, Mackensie Alexander) that remain available, and he is generally a polished player that could contribute right away.</p> <p>Look for Oakland to weigh a potential addition to the offensive or defensive lines if a cornerback isn’t the move, but a selection of Vernon Hargreaves III would likely incite celebration for the Raiders.</p>.
