Linebackers
Josh Allen, Kentucky
Josh Allen likes to compare himself to Khalil Mack and Von Miller in terms of position and work-ethic. He’s a logical fit to place at the edge position (he also shares an agent with Mack) but he’ll likely need time to polish his game and work on balance issues.
Clelin Ferrell, Clemson
Clelin Ferrell’s ability to rush the passer and set a hard edge is among his strengths and the reason for top-10 pick consideration. If Oakland likes what they see, their best bet might be to trade back and pick him at a reliable spot.
Montez Sweat, Mississippi St.
Montez Sweat’s football transformation has turned heads and made him a noteworthy name at the combine. He established himself as a premier SEC edge rusher and could be on the Raiders radar in the first round.
Devin Bush, Michigan
Devin Bush helped anchor Michigan’s top-ranked defense in College football and could provide his services as a three-down player for the Silver and Black. Another opportunity to pair Hurst with a Michigan alum.
Devin White, LSU
The Butkus Award winner out of LSU, Devin White has freakish speed for a linebacker. Projected to be a possible top-10 player, he could fill the linebacker void that has plagued the Raiders for as long as one can remember.
