Marquel Lee

The Raiders made Marquel Lee their fifth round pick back in 2017, and he appeared ready for superstardom this summer, as he was one of the highest graded linebackers according to Pro Football Focus. While he has not been as dominant in the regular season, he is a solid young linebacker, and should be a part of this team’s future.

Lee is a guy who can add depth to the linebacker position in Oakland, and they certainly do not have many players who can fit that mold. He is also locked up for the next two seasons after 2018, and comes at a very small price tag.

The Raiders need to continue to develop him, because at only 23-years old, he has had some good moments this season.
