2023 NFL Mock Draft: Expert Picks & Analysis Post-Combine

7. Las Vegas Raiders: DB Devon Witherspoon — Illinois

The Raiders really do need help everywhere at this point. It’s a weird time in Las Vegas — where the team feels caught in-between a rebuild and a push towards a playoff spot. Upgrading the talent at corner is something the team could stand to do. Witherspoon checks off plenty of boxes across the board.

Looking back to the New England days, Bill Belichick often sought to get players who had supreme positional versatility. Witherspoon can play as a boundary corner or inside as a slot guy. He’s a very good tackler, and an elite athlete for the position. When factoring in all of those aspects, the Raiders would be doing cartwheels if he landed here.
