Alabama. Christian Miller. 131. player. 28. . Linebacker

With their fifth round pick in April, Oakland could look to dip into the Alabama stable of linebackers, adding Christian Miller to the fold. Miller is a guy who can really get the job done on the outside, and in Oakland, would be given the chance to start right away, even as a fifth round pick.

Miller is an explosive player, who not only is a sure tackler, but is also adept at getting after the quarterback. He has a skill set the Raiders need, and getting him in the fifth round would be quite a steal, as well as a welcome addition to this defense.

. Offensive Lineman. South Carolina. Zack Bailey. 188. player. 28

The Raiders need to add depth to  the offensive line this offseason, as they were decimated with injuries this season, and it really affected what they were trying to do on offense. Guys like Kelechi Osemele and Gabe Jackson are solid at the guard positions, and Rodney Hudson is the best center in the conference.

At tackle, Oakland rolled with two rookies in the starting lineup in Kolton Miller and Brandon Parker, two guys who should improve next season. With a sixth round pick in April, they could stand to add a player like Zack Bailey, who has the potential to be a guard, or right tackle in the NFL, and could add serious depth at both positions.
