The Oakland Raiders traded up in the fifth round so they could grab Maurice Hurst, a super-talented defensive tackle from Michigan. In fact, Hurst was supposed to be a first round pick in 2018, but a heart issue was detected at the NFL Scouting Combine, forcing him to drop.
While it was not a popular choice at the time, as the Raiders were viewed as drafting a player with a health issue, the team made him the 140th selection overall. Thankfully the did, as Hurst had a tremendous first season in the NFL, leading the Raiders in sacks.
Hurst is an absolute menace on the inside, and is a guy who should go to multiple Pro Bowls in his career. To say he was a steal is an absolute understatement, and in 2019, he could end up being one of the best defensive tackles in the division.
