The Las Vegas Raiders are in an interesting predicament when it comes to their linebacker situation. They have a good one in Denzel Perryman, who is coming off a Pro Bowl campaign, but his contract expires at the end of the year and he will be 30 years old in December. That leaves the door open for the Raiders to add a linebacker in this year’s NFL Draft, and Clemson’s Trenton Simpson projects to be one of the top options at the position.
Simpson is currently the top second-level defender on Pro Football Focus’ big board and might be one of the most versatile players in the draft class.
