2017 NFL Mock Draft: Wild Trade Throws Top 10 Out of Whack

28. Losing Derek Carr was the primary reason the Oakland Raiders fell apart down the stretch. Justifiable in every sense. Still, that can’t cover up how inadequate this team still is at a number of defensive positions. The secondary isn’t consistent enough and there is a lingering problem at the middle linebacker position they haven’t been able to figure out. This might be a good time to go about dealing with that problem. <p>Jarrad Davis made a tactical error when he put on a little too much weight in 2016 and it impact his normal style of play on the field. He’s a tough inside linebacker who can run sideline to sideline. His instincts to sniff out plays around the line of scrimmage flash consistently and he also brings prowess as a blitzer. He’ll give the Raiders defense more reliability and versatility in the middle. Two things they must have to take on the best of the AFC.</p>. ILB. Florida. Jarrad Davis . 24. player
