We’re a ways off from the 2023 NFL Draft, but if there’s one prospect that catches my eye and that’d look good in Silver & Black, it’s Riley Moss.
The Iowa cornerback’s impressive resume as a ballhawk defender (11 career interceptions during his tenure as a Hawkeye from 2018-2022) that’s instinctual, smart, and dependable are all traits sorely missing in the Las Vegas Raiders secondary. Productivity and availability are must-haves as the Silver & Black are reshaping their roster and fortifying a defense and Moss can bring it in spades.
Tale of the Tape: Riley Moss
- School: Iowa
- Position: Cornerback|
- Height: 6-foot-1
- Weight: 194 pounds

At 6-foot-1 and 194 pounds, Moss has the requisite size to play in the pros and has the collegiate production to merit solid looks by all 32 teams as we head towards the draft in April.
