Oakland Raiders linked to Alabama linebacker in 2020 NFL Draft

CBS Sports reporter Chris Trapasso links the Oakland Raiders with Alabama linebacker Dylan Moses as he looks to the 2020 NFL Draft.

The Oakland Raiders have done a nice job adding talent to their roster this offseason on both sides of the ball, as they look to bounce back from a tough 2018 NFL season. As we inch closer to training camp, it is clear that there is more depth on this roster than a year before, as new general manager Mike Mayock and head coach Jon Gruden look to turn the franchise around.

Chris Trapasso of CBS Sports has been looking towards the 2020 NFL Draft, breaking it down by division, and who each team should target. For the Raiders, Trapasso feels they should look to one of the best programs in the country once again, adding an Alabama Crimson Tide player in the first round for the second straight year.

That player is Dylan Moses, a standout linebacker on the Alabama defense this past season. A hard-hitting prospect, who was one of the best high school players in the country prior to landing with the Crimson Tide, Moses would be a nice addition to a linebacker group that has improved in talent this offseason.

After adding Tahir Whitehead in free agency last season, the Raiders brought in both Brandon Marshall and Vontaze Burfict to fill out the position group this offseason, bringing solid veterans to the unit. Behind those three, the Raiders have good young talent like Jason Cabinda and Marquel Lee, as they look to bolster the second layer of Paul Guenther’s defense.

Moses has certainly lived up to the hype at Alabama, and many experts have him slated for the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft. For Oakland, they once again hold multiple first round picks, and no fan of the team would be upset if they bring in this special linebacker next April.
