There’s no question that the Oakland Raiders need help along the interior of their defensive line. They need guys who can get a solid push up the middle and put some pressure on the quarterback – while simultaneously taking pressure off Khalil Mack.
With Justin Ellis and Denico Autry both free agents – and neither a lock to return – 2017 third-round pick Eddie Vanderdoes not being as explosive as hoped, Darius Latham pretty much just taking up space, and Treyvon Hester being the only decent player (aside from Autry) on that interior defensive line, The Raiders need to look high and low for help.
