The Raiders’ need for a pass rusher isn’t as glaring as it was last year when they came off of a season with a NFL-low 13 sacks.
The defense showed more spunk when it came to breathing down the quarterback’s neck in 2019. Oakland had 32 sacks in 2019, which was the 25th most in the NFL — improvement was made, but in the grand scheme, it was still lacking.
They were led by exciting rookie Maxx Crosby. With 10 sacks, the defensive end showed he was one of the absolute steals of the 2019 draft as a fourth-round pick.
