3. Oakland Raiders

Clelin Ferrell . 3. player. 28. . EDGE. Clemson

Want a humbling stat? The Oakland Raiders pass rush in 2018 has exactly one more sack (9) than the man they traded away Khalil Mack (8) this season. It’s worth noting that Mack also missed two games with an ankle injury. Suffice to say that trade did not make the Raiders defense better. If anything they got worse. Historically bad levels. If Jon Gruden wants to get heat off his back for that blunderous-looking trade, he has to bolster his pass rush. Clelin Ferrell is one of the most polished defensive ends in college football. Smart, experienced, big, long, and agile for his size. He knows how to create consistent pressure.
