The Las Vegas Raiders will enter the 2026 NFL draft needing some additional help at cornerback. General manager John Spytek re-signed Eric Stokes, who played well on the boundary in 2025. Spytek also acquired veteran defensive back Taron Johnson via trade, and he's expected to start at nickel corner.
Opposite Stokes on the outside is inexperienced sophomore corner Darien Porter. Decamerion Richardson is on the roster as a depth option. It's a huge year for Porter, who may face competition for his role from a rookie, assuming Spytek drafts one in April.
One cornerback prospect with inside-outside versatility recently confirmed various pre-draft meetings with the Raiders. It seems the Raiders are showing interest in Oregon cornerback Jadon Canady.
"I’ve probably met every team in the NFL at least twice, and some teams I've met three or four times," Canady told NFL Draft On SI. "I met with the Las Vegas Raiders [again] recently on Zoom."
Canady played at Ole Miss and Tulane before transferring to Oregon. The Ducks standout had 39 tackles and six pass breakups this past season. Canady had a career-high 11 passes defensed with the Rebels in 2024. He also has four career interceptions.
Canady is a late-round sleeper on the Raiders' radar.
