Matt Holder is a life-long Raiders fan who has been writing about the team since 2017. He has been at Silver and Black Pride since 2021. He graduated from the Scouting Academy and worked in recruiting at the college level.
It took until the seventh round and their final pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, but the Las Vegas Raiders addressed their need at linebacker with Minnesota’s Cody Lindenberg.
The Raiders’ defense needed some help on the second level after losing Robert Spillane in free agency, and Lindenberg is a quality run defender who could fill Spillane’s shoes.
