Overview
- Las Vegas sent defensive end Tyree Wilson and pick No. 219 to the Saints for No. 150 and used it Saturday to select Arizona safety Dalton Johnson.
- Johnson logged snaps at free safety, slot corner, and outside corner at Arizona, giving the Raiders a multipurpose defensive back.
- He boosted his pass defense last season with four interceptions and 11 pass breakups, though scouts still question his range in deep coverage.
- Coaches and analysts expect him to help on special teams right away and compete for a rotational role as the staff tests his best fit.
- Johnson reunites with second-rounder Treydan Stukes from Arizona, a pairing seen as enhancing coverage packages for Las Vegas, and the pick drew a B grade from the Review-Journal.
