With the 27th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders selected Mississippi State S Johnathan Abram
The Raiders came away with a player that harkens back to their glory days of decades ago with an intimidating striker who could become a real difference maker in the secondary. Abram seems destined to become a force who will deliver a load of hurt against RBs and make pass-catchers think twice about going into traffic. Abram is an impressive prospect who can be a tone-setter as the Raiders move ahead in their rebuild. But he is not fluid and will be beaten by speedy pass-catchers at times.
Fantasy Impact of Johnathan Abram
This was a choice that sets up the Raiders defense for the future, and once he gains extensive playing time, he could become a very attractive IDP option. He is going to stack up tackles and also force turnovers as a pro. If the Raiders have a quality fantasy defense in a few years, Abram will be the crux of it.
