Jon Gruden, Raiders still on cornerback hunt with NFL draft upcoming

The Raiders have some quality cornerbacks on the roster, enough to fill out a lineup card.

Gareon Conley’s locked into a starting spot outside. Daryl Worley should occupy the other one, though veteran Nevin Lawson won’t take that lying down.

Head coach Jon Gruden considers newcomer Lamarcus Joyner a top option in the slot.

Nick Nelson will be available everywhere in reserve.

Gruden wants more at a premium position.

“I think you need five corners,” Gruden said. “I think you gotta have five because they do get banged up. It is a very difficult position to play and sometimes you want to play three or four at a time.
