33. Shilique Calhoun

Calhoun can get after the quarterback, plain and simple.

He’s a big-time athlete with advanced pass-rushing prowess. With Mack, Edwards Jr., Irvin and the rest of that front seven, Shilique should have plenty of free space to wreak havoc.

Calhoun needs to add on some weight and get stronger, which will help him improve against the run, but he has a ton of potential and can definitely be another impact player for this Raiders defense.
