Defensive Linemen

The last potential position target for the Las Vegas Raiders would be along the defensive line, where the top player right now is Maurice Hurts. Gruden and Mayock may decide that they need an elite talent there, knowing this class has quite a few of them.

12th pick: Derrick Brown, Auburn; Javon Kinlaw, South Carolina

There’s a chance Derrick Brown could fall into the Raiders lap at 12 if some teams ahead of Las Vegas decide to go for another need. Brown would be an amazing add for the Raiders here, with the ability to rush the passer with strength and violent hands, while also having great movement skills to work around defenders and get out to defend the outside run.

Javon Kinlaw is another name to watch at 12. Las Vegas could see Kinlaw dominate down at the Senior Bowl with his pass-rushing prowess and make him their guy. He may not make the impact Brown would early on, but his potential is sky-high.

19th pick: Neville Gallimore, Oklahoma

Speaking of a ton of potential, Neville Gallimore is another Senior Bowl guy to watch for the Raiders. Gallimore is wicked quick for his size and has plenty of power and a surprising number of rush moves for an interior player. He also has an outstanding motor and enough speed to turn and chase down plays. Gallimore would be fun in this defense.
