Oakland Raiders take no edge rushers in Mel Kiper’s NFL Mock Draft

The Oakland Raiders have plenty of needs when it comes to improving the roster this offseason, but one area in particular stands above them all. Last season, the Raiders finished with only 13 sacks as a team, a number that was historically bad.

When it comes time for the 2019 NFL Draft, Oakland holds three first round picks, and in a draft class loaded with edge rushers, it could not have come at a better time. They tried to replace Khalil Mack with guys like Bruce Irvin, Arden Key, and Frostee Rucker last season, but replacing a guy like Mack is nearly impossible.
