28. . Cornerback. Las Vegas Raiders. C.J. Henderson. 16. player

Talk about *athletes*. First, Henry Ruggs III goes to the Titans, and now, Florida cornerback C.J. Henderson is off the board, and off to Oakland.

The Raiders have a need at cornerback; for the time being, they’re getting by based on a surprising amount of pressure from their defensive front. But the Raiders will eventually get bit by their lack of talent on the back end. After trading Gareon Conley, Jon Gruden needs to re-invest in the position, and Henderson is the classic high-risk, high-reward type.

Henderson’s tackling in 2019 has been very concerning, and that’s an area of his game he’ll need to work on in 2020. But Henderson has the swagger coaches look for in cornerbacks, and he has the athletic upside to gradually find his way in a detail-oriented NFL.
