235. Viliami Fehoko EDGE San Jose State

We wrap up this Mock Draft by grabbing an edge rusher from a school about 40 miles from where the Raiders used to play in Oakland in Viliami Fehoko out of San Jose State. Fehoko is a slightly undersized edge rusher at 6-3 and 276 lbs but he is a guy that plays with a high motor and brings lots of energy to the position.

He had 20 sacks over his last two seasons and though it was against lesser competition, that type of production is hard to ignore. Fehoko has great instincts and is described as a savvy and versatile edge rusher who is very effective at getting to the quarterback and bringing him down.

One of my key philosophies is that you can never have enough defensive linemen and a player like Fehoko is smart and versatile enough to make himself useful as soon as he gets to town. We can see him play immediately as a rotational pass rusher and he can make an immediate impact on special teams.
