Looking at the Raiders defense, they have done a nice job at safety, and have made some good moves at cornerback, but they need to address the edge, and linebacker. One player who could be available at No. 27 overall is Devin Bush from Michigan, who has that sideline-to-sideline ability that this team is missing.

It is no big secret that the Raiders have gotten better on the offensive side of the ball during free agency, and with the Antonio Brown trade, so adding two defenders in round one makes sense. Realistically, Oakland could add defenders with all three picks, but selecting a talent like Bush this late in round one would be considered a win.

Bush was one of the more punishing tacklers during his time at Michigan, and would team well on the outside with Tahir Whitehead. Oakland would still have to address the middle linebacker spot, but they are bringing back Jason Cabinda for 2019, and there are some solid inside guys they could get in the later rounds.
