Raiders 2018 Draft Pick or Pass: DT Maurice Hurst

The Raiders have long lacked a dominant presence on the interior of their defensive line. Luckily for Reggie McKenzie and Jon Gruden, there should be two talented defensive tackles available when the team drafts at ten overall.

One of those players is Michigan’s Maurice Hurst. The First-Team All-American has been an anchor for one of the best defenses in the nation recording 10.5 sacks in two seasons with the Wolverines.

But after being held out of workouts at the NFL Combine due to a heart condition that was detected at Michigan, there are questions regarding Hurst’s health.
