With three 2019 first-round draft picks, Jon Gruden and the Oakland Raiders have the capital they need to start rebuilding the roster from the ground up. Among those three first-rounders will very likely be a pick in the Top 3, meaning they have a good shot to get something they desperately need – an elite defender.
While they have needs in the secondary and linebackers group, it seems beyond obvious they need to add a player (or two, or three) who can help punch the defensive line up in a big way. Just look at the dozen total sacks and next to no consistent pressure on the quarterback they’ve produced this season.
