Kentucky. Josh Allen. 4. player. 28. . Edge

With all the chatter of Kyler Murray going first overall to the Arizona Cardinals, there is a legitimate chance that Josh Allen will be there for the Oakland Raiders at No. 4 overall. Allen is a guy who could come in and fill the biggest weakness on this Raiders team right now, as he is incredibly gifted at getting after the quarterback.

At the time this piece was written, Oakland had only second-year edge rusher Arden Key on the roster, and newly acquired Josh Mauro. Needless to say, the defensive end position is one that will be targeted heavily by the Raiders in April, and Allen would be an absolute gift with the No. 4 overall selection.

Adding Allen to a defensive line that is pretty solid in the middle, would give Oakland two very skilled, and very strong defensive ends to link together in he and Key. There is still a lot of work to do in terms of free agency, but looking at this roster right now, this has to be the biggest need entering the draft.
