For our Las Vegas Raiders NFL Draft This or That series today, we’re going to be looking at a couple of different scenarios to add a defensive tackle. One will be a pretty even value, meaning the player’s ranking is close to the draft slot, with Arkansas’ John Ridgeway, and the other will be a later pick but better value in LSU’s Neil Farrell Jr. For this situation, Ridgeway would be the fourth-round pick — 126th overall — and Farrell would be their fifth-round pick — 164th overall.
How much risk each person is willing to take will certainly play a factor and that’s where the debates can begin!
