The Oakland Raiders possessed one of the strangest defensive line groups in the NFL last season. Due to the presence of Khalil Mack, one of the best defensive players the league has to offer, one would think the defensive line would be a strength of the team.
This of course has not been the case. The reason for this? Well its quite simple.
Outside of Mack, they stunk last season. The team did not have a single other above average player on the unit– besides maybe Bruce Irvin if you count him, even though he started at linebacker and only blitzed on special packages.
