Las Vegas Raiders 2020 7-round post-combine Mock Draft

*Trade back with Tennessee Titans

The Raiders have put off addressing their linebacker position for years now. As they head into the offseason, linebacker is arguably their most glaring need and one where they could potentially look to overhaul the entire position. The wait is over — the Raiders are likely to take a sideline-to-sideline linebacker with one of their first-round picks, and Oklahoma’s Kenneth Murray fits the bill.

Heading into the combine, expectations were sky high, and Murray delivered in a big way. Murray ran a 4.52 40-yard dash, which was good for sixth among linebackers at this year’s combine. Unfortunately after his second attempt of the 40-yard dash, Murray suffered a hamstring injury, ending his day.

News regarding Murray’s injury was released later on stating it’s something minor and should be good to go moving forward.

The highly touted linebacker recorded 102 tackles, resulting in four sacks and a career-high 17 tackles for loss. His game caught the attention of many scouts during his time in Norman, mainly due to his versatility in stopping the run, but also playing a prominent role in covering running backs and tight ends for the Sooners’ defense. Oklahoma’s Pro Day is set for March 11, but no announcement has been made stating whether Murray will participate or not.
