CBS Sports- Brad Crawford

Pick 16- Javon Kinlaw- DL- South Carolina

Brad Crawford, also of CBS Sports, likes the Raiders to nab Javon Kinlaw from South Carolina with their first of two first round picks next April. Kinlaw would be a great piece to the Raiders defensive line, as he is able to get a good jump on the snap and push past the offensive line.

The Raiders could use someone at any position on the defensive line, and Kinlaw is a player who can move around. Paul Guenther has shown a propensity to move people around this season, as seen by Clelin Ferrell playing in the middle most times, and Kinlaw is that kind of hybrid defensive lineman that can excel no matter where he is placed.

Pick 18- Kenneth Murray- LB- Oklahoma

The Raiders have not had an elite linebacker for some time, so using a first-round pick on someone with as much potential as Murray makes sense. Murray currently has recorded 51 tackles and 2.5 sacks this season on one of the best teams in the nation.

Tahir Whitehead has been a great get for the Raiders, and we have seen flashes from Nicholas Morrow in recent weeks. Murray would be a talent that is on another level than what the Raiders currently have, and while Oklahoma is not usually known for their defense, Murray is a special one.
