Second in a weekly series looking at new draftees and young players.
The Oakland Raiders are accumulating playmakers and these young linebackers are ready to breakout.
In the 2015 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders waited to pick a LB until the fifth round when they took two, Ben Heeney (Kansas) and Neiron Ball (Florida). Oakland had already picked up presumed starting MLB Curtis Lofton and former Superbowl MVP Malcolm Smith in Free Agency to help Khalil Mack and Sio Moore, so any LBs they picked up in the draft were going to mostly for depth and special teams.
