Oakland Raiders – Denzel Ward – CB – Ohio State

What will Jon Gruden do with his first pick in his first season back after a long absence from the NFL? That is anyone’s guess. Gruden loves quarterbacks but he has one in Derek Carr. The Raiders have solid receivers who are not living up to their expectations. Oakland could go offensive line here but they need to fix the defense.

Ward is a top rated corner and the position is a big need for the Raiders. He isn’t the flashy offensive player that Gruden would want initially but Gruden also knows he has talent on offense and needs to improve his defense as soon as he can.

Gruden isn’t coming into Oakland to rebuild the offense he is going to tweak it and he isn’t coming in to settle on 3rd or 4th place. He needs to get better on defense and that is where we think he will go.
