With their second round pick in 2019, the Raiders could choose to bring in a middle linebacker, as it is a position that needs to add depth for the upcoming season. Last season, Marquel Lee and Jason Cabinda split time as the starter for the Silver and Black, but the team could decide to bring in one of the better inside linebackers in this draft class in Mack Wilson.

I absolutely love Cabinda, and as a Penn State fan, have really been impressed with how he has come into the NFL and become a legitimate player at that level. In Wilson, the team would definitely be upgrading at the position, however, as he was the captain of one of the better defenses in college football at Alabama.

Wilson would give the Raiders a legitimate starting talent at the position, and if he does sneak out of the first round, the team should try to grab him early in round two. He has the ability to play sideline-to-sideline, is one of the more sure tacklers in this draft class, and plays with the kind of smarts that would make him a team leader on this defense early on.
