CB/S Tyvon Branch, CB-S, 6-0, 204, Connecticut (4/100) signed with the Raiders. Terms were not disclosed. The Raiders were shoddy tacklers in the secondary and were inconsistent on special teams. Branch was a sure tackler at UConn who should contribute immediately on special teams, both in coverage and as a kickoff return man. He will also get a serious look at safety, where the projected starters are Michael Huff and Gibril Wilson.
