The Las Vegas Raiders must have really enjoyed watching Arizona’s defense on film.
Vegas Nation podcast
General manager John Spytek took his second Wildcat defensive back of the draft, selecting Dalton Johnson with the 150th overall pick on Saturday, early in the fifth round. The pick was acquired from the New Orleans Saints in exchange for defensive end Tyree Wilson and a seventh-round pick.
The safety Johnson joins Arizona teammate Treydan Stukes, who was selected by the Raiders in the second round on Friday.
The grade: B
Johnson took a huge leap in pass coverage in his final season at Arizona after he was mostly known for his ability to come up in run support before that.
He still does his best work coming forward, whether that is attcking a ballcarrier near the line of scrimmage or breaking up a pass on a route in front of him.
The questions in his game remain mostly in deep coverage.
His skill set is one that should get him on the field in some role, however.
He should also be an immediate contributor on special teams.
