24. Oakland Raiders

28. The strange thing about teams sports is that in each one the best teams are the ones who are strong up the middle, especially on defense. Oakland is not. Jarrad Davis is the type of versatile, aggressive linebacker they really need in the middle to help clean up lots of their mistakes.. LB. Florida. Jarrad Davis . 24. player

56. Oakland Raiders

DT. North Carolina Charlotte. Larry Ogunjobi . 56. player. 28. Khalil Mack is already a stud but he still can be better. How? By having an interior pass rush presence who can keep those extra blockers away from him. Larry Ogunjobi is exactly that style of player. Natural leverage, strong, quick off the snap. He’s built for that job.

88. Oakland Raiders

28. The more targets Derek Carr has, the more dangerous he becomes. Amara Darboh is another of those “silent but deadly” type of receivers in that he’s got size to his advantage and more speed than corners realize. Once in a pass-heavy attack he’ll be allowed to shine.. WR. Michigan. Amara Darboh . 88. player

129. Oakland Raiders

28. He didn’t play a full college slate due to leaving the game for a time with personal issues. Once he got back though Jamaal Williams proved he could be a bell cow type of back with good strength and speed. He’ll need running lanes though as his vision is average.. RB. BYU. Jamaal Williams . 129. player

168. Oakland Raiders

player. 28. People will get on him about his shorter size but Harris doesn’t seem to care. He’s so instinctive and smart. The guy is near the football on almost every play. Doubt him at your own peril.. LB. Lindenwood. Connor Harris . 168

208. Oakland Raiders

QB. Virginia Tech. Jerod Evans . 208. player. 28. The injury to Carr and loss of Matt McGloin in free agency furthered the need for Oakland to bolster their QB depth. Jerod Evan is a pure physical specimen who is still learning the position in-depth.

242. Oakland Raiders

OG. Pennsylvania State. Ethan Cooper . 242. player. 28. Oakland clearly likes their guards big and powerful. Cooper checks both of those boxes. His inconsistencies in technique can be frustrating, but remain coachable issues.

244. Oakland Raiders

28. College basketball players becoming tight ends in the NFL is all the rage these days. Phazah Odom is another of those types who could make the leap. He’ll need a ton of work but the guy is a true big athlete.. TE. Fordham. Phazah Odom . 244. player
