Linebacker (5)

1. Cory Littleton

2. Nick Kwiatkoski

3. Nicholas Morrow

4. Marquel Lee

5. Tanner Muse

One of the Raiders’ biggest offseason tasks was to improve their linebacker corps and that is just what they did. Mike Mayock brought into two solid veterans in Cory Littleton and Nick Kwiatkoski, both of who are expected to start on Day 1 for the Raiders.

The other noteworthy addition the Raiders made to this unit was drafting Tanner Muse in the third-round. While he is more of a special teams player at this point in his career, Muse as the athleticism and size to be an excellent nickel linebacker in the NFL. Look for him to make a living on special teams in 2020, but to potentially steal some passing-down snaps later on in the season.
