30. Oakland Raiders

player. 28. Strides are being made step by step for the Oakland Raiders. Their offense is emerging as one of the best in the NFL. Derek Carr is becoming elite before the eyes of everybody. Defensively is where this team must maintain its focus. There has been improvement but several areas remain problematic. A big one is the middle linebacker spot. Thus far repeated attempts haven’t brought a viable solution for that critical position. <p>Ohio State is known for producing quality defenders and Raekwon McMillan is the latest example. He may not be the flashiest player but he’s the type that gets things done. A good athlete with range who can play coverage. He’s at his best when when he plays downhill. McMillan is aggressive and tackles well. He provides solid pressure as a blitzer and shows the instinct to see the gaps and shoot them. Just a solid all-around player.</p>. ILB. Ohio State. Raekwon McMillan . 30
