Raiders positional needs: No. 1, cornerback

Even with Jon Gruden being introduced as the Raiders’ next head coach Tuesday, Oakland still has a football team needing improvement.

Through Sunday, we’ll count down the Raiders’ top five positional needs for 2018.

Let’s get to Oakland most pressing need this offseason.

CORNERBACK

Aside from Sean Smith’s late-season resurgence, the Raiders’ cornerbacks were largely detrimental to the team this season.

The position is easily Oakland’s weakest spot on either side of the ball.

Granted, Gareon Conley’s injury didn’t help, but would a healthy first-rounder really have made that much of a difference?
