Defensive Lineman

Nick Bosa, Ohio State

Considered by many to be the top prospect in the draft, Nick Bosa is widely considered to be the top defensive lineman as well, especially in a league where a pass-rusher is becoming more and more vital. The brother of Joey Bosa, Nick is considered to be even better. Chances of him dropping to number four to the Raiders are slim, but would be an amazing situation should it happen.

Rashan Gary, Michigan

Though a bit raw, Rashan Gary is an extraordinary athlete and many mocks have him at number four to the Raiders. He’s got size and speed but likely will need to work on polishing his game a bit, though he has tremendous upside. Pairing him with former teammate Maurice Hurst would be a lethal combination.

Quinnen Williams, Alabama

Quinnen Williams is a tremendous talent and what sets him apart from other top DL is his knack for not taking plays off during his time with the Crimson Tide. With Kyler Murray speculation all around, there’s a chance that Williams could drop a pick or two into the Raiders’ hands.

Ed Oliver, Houston

Ed Oliver was touted as the consensus top pick at the beginning of the season, but his projections have fallen just a bit, though a guaranteed first rounder no less. The talent is there, but his size (around 6’1, smaller than the usual DT) will be up for teams to value and decide.

Christian Wilkens, Clemson

An athletic defensive tackle out of Clemson, if the Raiders decide to shake things up with their initial first three picks (go offense, trade back, etc.) keep your eyes on Christian Wilkens, who can provide depth to Oakland’s defensive front.
