2. LSU FS Grant Delpit

With former first-round pick Karl Joseph set to hit free agency, the Raiders could need to add another safety either in the draft or free agency. The team is expected to get back Johnathan Abram, who missed most of last season with a torn labrum. And with Lamarcus Joyner struggling in his first season with the Raiders, it wouldn’t be that surprising for the team to grab a talented safety early.

A player such as Grant Delpit would make a lot of sense for the Raiders, should he be available at pick No. 19. Delpit is a true free safety that would pair well with Abram in the box. Over the last two seasons at LSU, Delpit recorded seven interceptions, seven sacks, and two forced fumbles. By every sense of the word, he is a playmaker who knows how to find the football.

Given Delpit’s college production and the potential fit with Abram, he is certainly someone you can’t rule out the Raiders grabbing sometime in the first round.
