Las Vegas Raiders 2020 NFL Draft prospect profile: Javon Kinlaw
By Matt Holder
When it comes to the 12th overall pick in the NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders will have plenty of options and defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw is among them.
The Las Vegas Raiders have put themselves in a pretty good position with the 12th overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. General manager Mike Mayock and head coach Jon Gruden opened up the checkbook in free agency and addressed the majority of the team’s needs.
Spending money on the open market gives the organization’s decision-makers more flexibility to take the best player available on the April 23rd, which could be South Carolina defensive tackle, Javon Kinlaw.
After signing Maliek Collins, defensive tackle isn’t a pressing need for Las Vegas anymore. The former Gamecock would certainly be more of a luxury pick, however, there is no such thing as having too many pass-rushers in today’s pass-happy league.
It was only two years ago that the Raiders posted a historically low sack total and while this past season was better, there is still plenty of room for improvement. Kinlaw would certainly help in that department and here is a look at what he brings to the table.
