The Raiders have struggled at linebacker for years, and it is about time to address the issue. As many tackles as Tahir Whitehead records, he misses that many as well, and he cannot cover any receivers, tight ends, running backs, or literally anything in the middle of the field.

Kenneth Murray is a player who can fix a lot of the issues the Raiders have in the middle of the field. Murray has the speed to fly all over the field, whether it is running out to make a tackle or playing coverage. Murray is one of the best tacklers in college football, and his speed will give him the ability to hit holes and get in the backfield to record sacks or stop the running back in the backfield.

The Raiders have had this issue at linebacker for years, and the team has yet to address it. Hopefully, 2020 is the year that all changes and the Raiders select a game-changer to play the middle of the field.
