The Raiders need to draft more than just one linebacker in this draft, as the position needs a ton of help. Evan Weaver of California would be a great addition to the team, and the Raiders may be extremely familiar with him considering he plays half of his games in the area.

Weaver is an incredibly athletic linebacker at 6’3 235 lbs. Weaver would be able to come in right away and learn from Vontaze Burfict for as long as he is around, and the Raiders may just bring the veteran back.

The young linebacker is a solid run-stopper who is not afraid to make a hit, and he racked them up in bunches during his time with the Golden Bears. He is the type of hard-nosed player that the Raiders need right now and comes at a great value in the fourth round.
