ALAMEDA -- The Raiders appear set at defensive tackle with nearly 700 pounds of what edge player Khalil Mack called "meat and potatoes."
With Dan Williams and Justin "Jelly" Ellis on the interior, it gives coach Jack Del Rio that kind of stout middle he enjoyed as head coach in Jacksonville with John Henderson and Marcus Stroud, or even back when he was linebackers coach with the Baltimore Ravens when the tackles were Tony Siragusa and Sam Adams in 2000.Throw in fourth-year player Stacy McGee and Leon Orr, a practice squad promotion last season, and it would seem the Raiders need not use one of their premium draft picks on a defensive tackle.
