The Las Vegas Raiders struggled once again to get after the quarterback this past season, and will likely bring in more talent on the edge this offseason. Whether that is in free agency, or in the draft, the fact is, the Raiders need to add bodies around Clelin Ferrell and Maxx Crosby, two guys entering Year 3 next season.

One prospect to keep an eye on during this draft cycle is Ade Ogundeji, a very talented edge rusher from Notre Dame. This is a kid who had the scouts raving during Senior Bowl week, and with a solid Pro Day, could hear his name called on Day 2 of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Ogundeji has all the physical talents you look for in an NFL edge rusher, and he has been very productive on a Notre Dame defense that was one of the best in college football last year. The Raiders have to add talent on the edge, and if they decide to go elsewhere with their first three picks, Ade would be a great get here at pick No. 121 overall.
