Raiders roster: Top heavy cornerback room is less than ideal

In Jack Jones and Nate Hobbs, the Las Vegas Raiders have quality starters at outside and nickel cornerback, respectively.

Both offer the requisite aggressiveness in coverage and against the run along with the swagger that makes them throwbacks to the storied Silver & Black defensive backs.

Yet, outside of those two, the Raiders cornerback room is riddled with question marks. Youngsters Jakorian Bennett and Decamarion Richardson do offer plenty of athleticism and upside, but are relative unknowns as a second-year defender and rookie, respectively. Veteran Darnay Holmes, a free agent signing after he was released by the New York Giants, rounds out the group.
