Arden Key a steal for Raiders: Aldon Smith skills with career trajectory of Danielle Hunter

In the 2018 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders ended up with what could be the steal of the draft when they took Maurice Hurst in the fifth round. But, we should not forget that Arden Key — taken with their second 3rd-round pick — could prove to be another huge steal.

Key is a special pass-rusher and for my money, the best pure pass-rusher off the edge in this draft.

At 6’5”, 246 pounds with long arms and athleticism, he’s looks a lot like a young Aldon Smith. They both have a superb get-off and burst off the edge.
