We are now a mere five days away from the NFL Draft. For weeks rumors have been swirling about who each team may be looking to draft, with the most attention being payed to the first round.
As for the Oakland Raiders, it seems to be a forgone conclusion in the minds of many that the team will select one of the two highly regarded linebackers, Roquan Smith and Tremaine Edmunds, with their tenth overall pick.
While this is a very realistic scenario, in fact it is the most likely scenario, that does not mean the team necessarily has to take a linebacker at ten.
