DE Clelin Ferrell – No. 4, Raiders

Many draft pundits were surprised the Raiders took Ferrell fourth overall, but he performed admirably despite the skepticism. Ferrell finished his rookie season with 4.5 sacks and eight quarterback hits in 15 games, including a huge 2.5-sack performance against the Chargers in Week 10.

Ferrell wasn’t terribly consistent in his rookie season but showed enough flashes to keep the Raiders excited about their young defensive linemen.
