As I mentioned in part one of our two-part Defensive Line watch list breakdown, this draft is replete with talent in that group, with types of players to fit every taste. The Raider defense, now under the watchful eye of defensive coordinator Ken Norton, Jr., will likely play an aggressive, one-gap style on the front, and will use a variety of alignments and fronts.

This draft is full of prospects who can fit into this style, and not just in the first round. As mentioned previously, there is talent that could well fall down into the third round of this draft or later that has the potential to be plugged in as starters or major contributors early and often in the 2015 season.

Here are five more names to watch on the defensive front at the 2015 Combine.
