Devin White, Linebacker, LSU

If the Raiders decide to roll with a linebacker with the No. 4 overall pick, then Devin White is a guy who could look great in the Silver and Black. During his time at LSU, White established himself as the best linebacker in the best conference in college football, and should be a consideration early in round one.

White is a player who can play sideline-to-sideline, possessing the kind of speed to cover the entire field. He is as sure a tackler as there is in this draft class, and would fill an immediate need for the Raiders in 2019.

The Raiders have been looking for a star middle linebacker for quite some time now, and White definitely fits that mold. He is a guy who could really impact a defense, even in year one at the next level, and would be a perfect fit inside the middle of Guenther’s 4-3 scheme.
