2. DT Ross Blacklock, TCU

A sneaky need for the Raiders is at defensive tackle. While Maliek Collins was brought in this offseason, he signed just a one-year deal and it remains to be seen what Rod Marinelli thinks of the likes of Maurice Hurst and P.J. Hall.

Arguably the best defensive tackle still available is TCU’s Ross Blacklock. While he didn’t have the college production you would hope for, he is an elite athlete who is only getting better as a pass rusher.

According to The Athletic, Blacklock finished at No. 40 on their consensus board as many teams view him as a Day 1 starter. Pairing him with Collins and Hurst would give the Raiders an incredible interior defensive line.
