The Raiders needed linebacker help entering the NFL Draft, especially in the middle. That hasn’t changed, even after taking Wake Forest’s Marquel Lee in the fifth round.
The Raiders took a cornerback, a safety and a defensive tackle in the first three rounds, supplementing talent-needy position groups.
A void remains in the eye of the storm. General manager Reggie McKenzie said before the draft he’d like to add a couple inside linebackers to the roster. Lee is one. Head coach Jack Del Rio believes another should be coming down the line.
McKenzie wants to evaluate those currently on the team before looking for outside help.
