They are followed by the Titans and Cardinals, though with recent reports the teams below the Raiders in that figure to change.According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, three new teams have entered the fray while two teams have bowed out.As of last week, it was the Raiders, Broncos, and Cardinals who were reportedly most interested. With the Cardinals and Jets out and three additional teams jumping in, we could be looking at a large field of bidders.That’s a lot of teams with at least some interest. How much interest is the question. It could easily be the Steelers making more out of the ‘interest’ from other teams than there actually is in order to get the highest draft pick possible. And Jon Gruden has four picks in the top 35 burning a hole in his pocket and just last year threw away a third round pick trading it to the Steelers for Martavis Bryant.A recent poll we put out here had 3rd round or lower as Raider Nation’s top choice in a trade for Antonio Brown.Whichever team offers the Steelers the best deal and pulls the trigger, the Steelers are telling them they want this deal done within the next couple days according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.Early next week, free agency kicks off with the negotiating period beginning March 11. Clearly the Steelers would like to get ahead of that by trading Antonio Brown by the end of this week.Follow @LeviDamien Isaiah Johnson, CB, Houston Measurables6’2", 205 pounds4.40 40-yqrd dash36.5-inch vertical leap133-inch broad jump6.81 second 3-cone4.06 second shuttleStats2018: 66 tackles, 5 passes..."Isaiah Johnson, CB, Houston Measurables6’2”

His natural athleticism allows for fluidity in his movements, and helps give him excellent change of direction skills. He also possesses elite speed (4.4 40).Possesses above average ball skills, and his speed and length allow him to both run with speedy receivers and offer great recovery speed. His experience on the offensive side of the ball as a former wide receiver at times seems to lend him the benefit of a better understanding of what the offense is doing. His size, strength and speed allow him to match up against more physically imposing receivers. Add in that he was also a special teams mainstay during his time at Houston, specifically as a gunner on the punt unit, where his length and speed regularly allowed him to both fight off and run away from jammers, and it’s easy to understand the upside the Raiders see in him.WeaknessesHaving spent his first three seasons at Houston as a wide receiver, and a defensive back the past two seasons, he is still learning how to play the position and his technique is still raw. As a result, he is sometimes susceptible to being embarrassed by more polished receivers
Cheap Isaiah Johnson Jersey , such as was seen when he faced off with Deebo Samuel, a second round pick of the San Francisco 49ers, in a practice at the Senior Bowl. Further, while he is certainly a willing tackler, with just two years of experience on the defensive side of the ball, his form can be questionable at times. VerdictJohnson certainly possesses the athleticism and physical build to develop into the type of press corner that the Oakland Raiders are looking for. However, having only played on the defensive side of the ball for his junior and senior seasons, he remains extremely raw. The talent and physical skills are readily visible on tape, and with time and effort he has the potential to develop into a high level corner. That said, getting to that point will be a process, and not something fans should expect right out of the gate.Fit with RaidersThe first place he is likely to contribute is special teams, where willingness to participate on punt and kickoff coverage will be welcome. Beyond special teams he should provide depth in the secondary, as he has the length to step in on the outside if necessary and the athleticism to cover the slot if called upon to do so. As depth, he’ll be able to hone and further develop his skills as a defensive back without the pressure of being one of the team’s top two corners. That should give him the time he needs to further refine his game to the point where it is NFL ready. Also see: BD Williams’ Film breakdown: Trayvon Mulllen vs Isaiah Johnson reps
