Grading the 2019 Oakland Raiders: Defensive End Clelin Ferrell

In the 2019 Draft, the Oakland Raiders were in an awkward position. The top pass rusher had been selected at pick No. 2 in Nick Bosa, and the most disruptive interior lineman had been selected at pick No. 3 in Quinnen Williams. The Raiders were expected to take All-American linebacker Josh Allen with their pick, or even perhaps inside linebacker Devin White at No. 4, but the Raiders made a move at this pick that shocked not only Raider Nation, but the world.

The selection was read out loud to shock and horror and even some boos, as the name proclaimed to be the newest Oakland Raider, would be Clelin Ferrell from Clemson.
