DT. Houston Cougars. Ed Oliver. 2. player. 28.

The Raiders have been a train wreck all season long. John Gruden has been a punchline in sports media since taking over the job by making a number of questionable moves as head coach. During free agency, he signed a number of veteran players, which made the Raiders the oldest team in the league.

He then decided to trade superstar linebacker Khalil Mack who has a defensive player of the year award on his already impressive career resume.

With the second pick of the draft expect the Raiders to select Ed Oliver, and shore up the defensive line. The Raiders are currently 30th in a league in points allowed giving up 29.7 per game while also allowing 151 rushing yards per game which is dead last in the NFL.

Oliver has shown that he can be a force in any game and has racked up double-digit tackles in multiple games this season.

Although teams may be nervous about his current injury that has sidelined him the last few games he’s still one of the surest picks to become an all-pro in the draft.
