After being taken with the 106th overall pick, Maxx Crosby was quite possibly the steal of the 2019 draft. He posted 10 sacks, which was second in the NFL among rookies and second all-time among Raider rookies in franchise history.

To get a legitimate understanding of how Crosby, Bosa, and Mack compared in 2019, we decided to look to Pro Football Reference, Sports Info Solutions, and Pro Football Focus.
