Las Vegas Raiders defense can benefit from drafting Alabama LB Dylan Moses

Raiders would be getting one of the surest tacklers in the entire 2021 NFL draft class.

Dylan Moses has the ability to consistently breakdown in the open field and his ability to wrap-up opposing ball-carriers is second to none. The Las Vegas Raiders could greatly benefit from that, as they led the NFL with 145 missed tackles in 2020. The Alabama standout also possesses fundamental instincts that allow him to diagnose plays before they occur.

The 2-year starter for the Crimson Tide was a pivotal part of head coach Nick Saban’s defense, and Saban was greatly appreciative that the Louisiana native returned to Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2020 after missing the previous season due to a preseason ACL injury.

"I think the big thing with Dylan, he wanted to be a part of the team. He wanted to be a leader of the team, he wanted to come back and play well for Alabama and that (2019 injury) was probably the deciding factor for him. Obviously, he’s a great player, great person, and a good leader and he can make a significant impact on making us better next year.” –Saturday Down South"

Dylan leads by example, and that is only a part of what makes him truly a special prospect. For the Silver and Black, he can aptly fit into Gus Bradley’s new defensive scheme; which is all the more reason to pursue him.
