Raiders safeties coach Matt Robinson, who came over from Ravens, said Treydan Stukes can "absolutely" play a similar role to Kyle Hamilton in secondary.
Said his size, speed and versatility is similar to Hamilton, and hope is that he can bring physicality to his position.
🚨 2026 NFL Draft Team Grades
In my annual draft grades round-up, I have compiled 24 different evaluations and calculated the GPA for all 32 teams.
I sorted the evaluations by GPA as well. From left (soft) to right (hard graders).
Thanks to all who give out grades every year! 🔥
