Breaking down the Oakland Raiders' class in the 2019 NFL draft.
My take: The Raiders, who had a league-low 13 sacks last season and are looking for the next Khalil Mack, addressed a real and specific need in drafting the reigning Ted Hendricks Award winner in Ferrell. But they could have seemingly traded back, acquired another pick or two and still drafted him later. He is a nice player, though, with 27 career sacks, including 11.5 last season for the national champs at Clemson. Being considered a “high-character” guy, Ferrell seems to be a “foundation piece” for coach Jon Gruden and first-year general manager Mike Mayock.
