It’s been a need all offseason

The Las Vegas Raiders’ need to add a cornerback has bene a topic throughout the offseason and it still is.

They have visited with and been rumored to have interest in multiple veterans at the position and yet nothing has developed.

So, we asked our community members if they would be fine if the Raiders don’t add a cornerback soon.

The results are clear: Fans want to see Las Vegas general manager John Spytek and head coach Pete Carroll add another player at the position for the season. In our poll, 62 percent of the voters want to see the Raiders sign a cornerback, while 38 think the team will be fine with their current group of corners.

I get the reason why this poll went the way it did.

Las Vegas has signed Erick Stokes in free agency and drafted Darien Porter n the third round. They are the current favorites to start on the outside during the regular season. They also have Darnay Holmes, Jakorian Bennett, Decamerion Richardson, Sam Webb and Ky Blu Kelly.

They can use some more depth there and the good thing is, there is time for it to happen.

Here are some of your responses. Sign up and go to the comments section.

With the new and improved Raiders front office and scouting department… I am super confident that Spy is going to add a couple of quality free agents at CB and another DL, OL, Safety or WR before the season starts…preferably around the beginning of training camp…He says it’s a constant process and he is patiently waiting for the right players to become available like roster cuts due to salary cap issues or for existing free agents that are done bargaining for a contract…need a team and finally are ready to sign their deals…Spy and his scouting department are not done yet Nation!…It’s just getting started…”We are always looking for players that can improve the team”…John Spytek

even if we get guys that step up as starters, we don’t have much depth. Adding a vet would be a good idea.

My hope is JB and Porter end up earning the outside spots as they will be here beyond this year. Slot is an issue

100% no, Has to be top priority. Right now our biggest need. PFF just named us dead last for cornerbacks and I agree. Even though Jones sucked, I think wiith the departure of him and Hobbs we’re way worse off than last year, not to mention the continued injury problems of Wilkins. Patrick Graham has totally failed to produce good pass coverage, so why should this year be different, especially with diminished talent.
