The Las Vegas Raiders have a chance to right their wrong from the 2019 NFL Draft – a draft we all know far too well, but not for the right reasons. Mainly because that's when the Raiders reached on a draft prospect at pick number four.
You may remember the Raiders going 4-12 in 2018, a year that saw the Raiders as one of the worst teams in the league. They ended up being so bad they had the fourth overall pick. With that pick, they reached terribly on a defensive lineman from Clemson, and it ended up being their worst pick in quite some time.
Clelin Ferrell is the guy the Raiders reached on. Most mock drafts had the Raiders getting a guy like Quinnen Williams, who ended up going a pick before the Raiders. Most mocks also had Ferrell outside of the top 20 picks, yet the Raiders took him at four.
Ferrell was good in college. He was a great payer actually, but he was taken too high and I think his play over the last few years has shown that.
But, in the 2023 offseason, the Raiders have a chance to right their wrongs.
The very next pick, pick number five by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, ended up being Devin White, the Linebacker from LSU. He has had an amazing career so far and is one of the best linebackers in the league.
He also may be available for trade, as he recently requested a trade from the Buccaneers. The Raiders need a linebacker after Denzel Perryman left, and should be a team to watch that could be interested in trading for him.
That trade would immediately make a bad defense good. That's how good he is. And, the new regime could fix what the old regime missed.
