6. LB Nick Kwiatkoski
Kwiatkoski has never been a full-time starter. But the Raiders have designs on changing that. He is pegged as the middle linebacker for the team and was the first free agent to agree to terms with the team once the negotiating period opened up.
He’s the closest the Raiders have come to putting a priority on the middle linebacker spot in many years. Some may be skeptical of him as the answer, but he is just 26 years of age, so he is in his prime. He also put up 76 combined tackles last season despite not playing a single snap in six games and starting the final seven. That’s 122 tackles over a full 16 games.
