Summary
The Raiders stunned everyone by drafting Darien Porter in the third round—yes, a former wide receiver turned lockdown corner who lit up the field with three picks and a 4.7 passer rating against him. Standing 6’4” with long arms, he’s got the size and zone coverage chops to fit their scheme, even drawing comparisons to Richard Sherman. His rookie year had flashes—like shutting down Courtland Sutton—but also a costly mistake against the Texans. Now, with rookie Hezekiah Masses and new draft pick Jermod McCoy looming, Porter’s starting spot is far from guaranteed. His second season is all about proving he can be consistent and hold off the competition—or risk being benched. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
