No. 81 – Troy Dye, LB, Oregon

The Raiders signed a pair of starting linebackers in free agency in Cory Littleton and Nick Kwiatkowski. Dye is a player that should be seriously considered as his skill-set is more of a coverage player. He’s an incredible athlete that can get downhill in a hurry against the run but will earn his second contract on the back of his coverage skills.

Dye certainly could develop into an Eric Kendricks-type of linebacker, who just happened to put together one of the best coverage seasons ever for a linebacker. He is a perfect fit for Jon Gruden.
