The Las Vegas Raiders bolstered their secondary by selecting Louisiana Tech cornerback Amik Robertson, making it back-to-back picks from the Bulldogs secondary. Robertson is a smaller corner at just 5-foot-8, but he plays with the confidence of an All-Pro. He boasts great quickness and plays the ball in the air well. He'll struggle to cover some of the bigger receivers in the NFL but can make up for that somewhat with his physicality. If he's used properly, he can be a very productive player at the next level.
