NEW ORLEANS, LA – JANUARY 01: Mack Wilson #30 of the Alabama Crimson Tide returns an interception for a touchdown in the second half of the AllState Sugar Bowl against the Clemson Tigers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on January 1, 2018 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Alabama has some ridiculous talent at the linebacker position this season, and it would make sense that both Mack Wilson and Anfernee Jennings would be on the Raiders radar. Wilson is a guy who had to work his way into the starting lineup, starting out as a bullet on special teams, and is now a key on a defense that could be headed to another national title.

During last year’s title game, Wilson showed incredible versatility in his game, racking up 12 tackles, while also nabbing an interception. He has incredible speed from his linebacker position, and the Raiders lack overall talent at the outside positions, which could make Wilson an immediate starter on this defense.
