Raiders Selecting TCU S Trevon Moehrig Already Hailed A Steal
Addressing a defense that needed reinforcements in the backfield was the Las Vegas Raiders’ priority on Day 2. Picking up TCU’s Trevon Moehrig will certainly help in that regard.
Revamping the Raiders’ secondary was clearly a priority considering how poorly the unit performed in 2020. A lot of blame can go towards ex-defensive coordinator Paul Guenther and deservedly so. However, let’s not mince words, as the team lacked talent on the defensive side of the ball in 2020. Johnathan Abram and Jeff Heath are back, and Las Vegas brought back former first-round pick, Karl Joseph. While Joseph’s addition is positive, the team decided it wasn’t enough and got themselves a lockdown defensive back in Moehrig.
In his time at TCU, Moehrig nabbed seven interceptions in coverage, posting a 92.8 career coverage grade per Pro Football Football. The Raiders getting themselves the only safety worthy of a first-round selection in the second bodes well for their brain trust. PFF is also very high on this selection, they’re already hailing it a steal.
