Sidney Jones. 29. player. 28. . Cornerback. Washington

The Oakland Raiders need to get better on defense, as illustrated by multiple close-call comebacks by opponents in 2016.

They could go in one of two different directions here — find front-seven support to help linebacker Khalil Mack or address long-tern needs in the secondary.

Let’s go with Washington cornerback Sidney Jones at No. 29 in the NFL Draft.

Jones enjoyed a tremendous year with the Huskies in 2016 and is capable of adapting to both man and zone schemes. He could be a true shutdown corner for the Raiders defense for years to come.
