Defensive Line (10): Clelin Ferrell, Arden Key, Maurice Hurst, PJ Hall, Johnathan Hankins, Justin Ellis, Josh Mauro, Ethan Westbrooks, Maxx Crosby, Corey Liuget

The Raiders had the worst defensive lines in the NFL last season, and this group looks to completely change the Raiders defense. In total, the Raiders got to the quarterback on 13 times in 2018, but with Brentson Buckner leading this team, look for them to at least double that number in 2019.

The group will be led by rookie Clelin Ferrell, returning end Arden Key, Maurice Hurst, P.J. Hall, and Johnathan Hankins.

The Raiders also added former Chargers tackle Corey Liuget, who will surely make the roster. Many people have been speculating that Justin Ellis could be released, but Gruden spoke recently about how he expects Ellis to be ready by Week 1, so I would expect him to be around for then.

Ethan Westbrooks gets the edge over Anthony Rush, although I would like to see both of them on the team. Westbrooks has impressed since joining the Raiders, and even got a sack against the Seahawks in the final preseason game to cap it all off.
