Oakland Raiders: 15 defensive players to target in the first round in 2019
By Brad Weiss
The linebacker position in Oakland has been atrocious for some time now, and it is time to inject some solid youth there. Devin White from LSU may be the best linebacker this draft class has to offer, and on this Raiders defense, he is a guy who could come right in and start as a rookie on the outside.
White is not only one of the better tacklers in college football, but he is the kind of linebacker that can play sideline to sideline. While some have compared him to the likes of Ray Lewis, that is going a bit far this early, but he is a strong, smart linebacker who could captain this group in year one.
