Raiders: Sleepers to target on Day 2 of the 2022 NFL Draft

Jojo Domann – Linebacker -Nebraska

Patrick Graham has talked about his desire to be versatile with his defensive scheme, so the Raiders will need players that provide the necessary skillset.

In a division that features Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, you will need linebackers that can operate in space, and Jojo Domann thrives in pass coverage. Domann was often asked to work in space and even play in the slot.

He could prove to be a viable chess piece against tight ends and running back out of the backfield, which has tormented the Raiders for a few years now.

He is not your lineup in-the-box type of linebacker but is someone who can come off the edgeand track-down ball carriers with a nice pop.

The medicals at the combine will be huge for Domann as he struggled with multiple knee issues early in his career. But in terms of ability, he is what you want from a modern-day linebacker.
