#81: Bradlee Anae – D.E., Utah

The Raiders certainly improved on the defensive line in terms of pressures and sacks with the emergence of guys like Maxx Crosby, but they need to continue adding depth. Bradlee Anae is a high motor pass rusher that wins with great hands and a plethora of pass-rushing moves.

If you saw him during the senior bowl game, you would have thought he was the next Nick Bosa the way he was destroying tackles, but there is a reason Anae is a later day 2 player instead of the top-50 consensuses.

Anae is not the most explosive or flexible athlete, and his lack of length is going to be an issue at times in the NFL. However, with his high I.Q. and technique, he could be a solid starter if needed and an excellent rotation player early on.
