28. Oakland Raiders (via CHI)
Alabama. Mack Wilson . 28. player. 28. . ILB
Anybody surprised by the fact that the Raiders spent all three of their 1st round picks on defense haven’t been paying attention. What they have now might be the worst unit in franchise history, and that’s saying something. It badly needs an influx of young talent. Well they’ve secured their pass rusher and their rangy defensive back. Now they have to upgrade the linebacker position. Mack Wilson is yet another in a long line of rock solid Alabama products. Tough, physical, disciplined, a good tackler and better than average in space. He can do all the things required of a dependable NFL starter. Something the Raiders desperately need.
