3. South Carolina DT Javon Kinlaw

The Raiders have a ton of defensive tackle depth entering the 2020 offseason. Third-year players Maurice Hurst and P.J. Hall both improved on their rookie seasons, and the team re-signed veteran Johnathan Hankins to help stop the run.

However, what they lack inside is an incredibly athletic defender who can disrupt plays with his quickness and length. Arguably the best defensive tackle in this class is Javon Kinlaw from South Carolina, who many are comparing to Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs.

At 6’6, 315 pounds, Kinlaw is one of the most athletic defensive tackles in the class. However, he is still somewhat raw of a prospect and will need a significant amount of coaching for him. But the fit with Rod Marinelli and their defensive line talent would be ideal. Don’t be surprised if this is a player the coaching staff falls in love with over the next few months.
