STM Take
Rookie tier 2 (#9) STTM peak plus 2025 tier 2 (#16) Raiders bounce-back puts Stokes in the rare bust-with-late-career-revival CB class. The Georgia 29th overall draft pedigree plus the multi-team chapter give him real veteran market value. The 2026 question is whether Stokes earns his first Pro Bowl plus holds tier 2 territory or whether the structural injury wear closes the elite chapter.
Stokes came out of Georgia as the Green Bay Packers' 1st-round pick (29th overall) in 2021. He delivered a tier 2 (#9) STTM rookie breakout, then struggled with multi-year injuries before signing with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025. His STTM career runs tier 2 (#9) rookie peak, tier 8 (#86) in 2022, tier 8 (#87) in 2024, and tier 2 (#16) bounce-back in 2025.
Strengths
- Rookie tier 2 (#9) STTM peak plus 2025 tier 2 (#16) Raiders bounce-back confirms structural top-15 CB ceiling exists across multiple team-fits.
- Georgia 29th overall draft pedigree plus the Raiders chapter rebound gives him real veteran market value.
Concerns
- Multi-year injury history (2022 foot fracture, 2024 chest) plus the tier 8 finishes in 2022 and 2024 puts continued durability question on every projection.
- Las Vegas's broader defensive identity instability plus the QB transition compresses the structural support around Stokes.
What to watch: Whether Stokes earns his first Pro Bowl in 2026 plus holds tier 3 or better, the threshold for confirming the late-career ceiling holds.
