Yes indeed...
Biggest draft need: A thumping but athletic middle/inside linebacker. After Ben Heeney struggled early and then went on injured reserve and rookie Cory James was miscast, Perry Riley Jr. was signed off the street and settled things down. Still, the Raiders need someone who can solidify the middle of their defense for the long haul. Can they find one in the 20s in the first round of the draft?
Oakland Raiders: John Ross, WR, Washington
Giving the Raiders a receiver may seem odd because they have Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree. However, they have one of the worst slot receivers in the NFL in Seth Roberts, who dropped countless passes this past season. Oakland needs to be better in that regard, and John Ross, one of the better prospects available, happens to project as a dynamic slot receiver
Not my choice really but...

Wasn't pimping him. Just thought the comments were funny. I like the kid from Baylor again.Washington redshirt junior WR John Ross' injury history includes a meniscus tear in his right knee in 2014 followed by microfracture surgery.
Before the surgery, Ross played out the remainder of the season, from game three to the year's conclusion. "But I was worried if I said something, I probably would have to sit out for the rest of the season." Then Ross tore the ACL and meniscus in his left knee during spring practice, leading to a redshirt year in 2015. Ross took college football by storm this year, recording 1,150 yards and 17 touchdowns on 81 catches. It was easily his best season, which makes sense when considering he played with a torn meniscus in 2014, his last season on the field. Ross recently declared for the draft. It will be worth monitoring his medicals during the draft process. Jan 4 - 8:36 AM

Welp. I'll hear no more about this guy.

Reminds a guy a lot of Tay Tay Murray.Watching Le'veon Bell run isn't doing much to move me off my RB jihad.
Not within reach at least. At least a pass rushing DT.I think we can all agree that DT, Slot WR, LB and RT are the positions where we have guys that should not be starting. About in that order. Perry Riley IMO buys us a year or so. RT if we keep Howard/Crumpets for CHEAP and keep grooming our three young OL guys is fairly solid considering the rest of the league.....But, who at DT is worth drafting for what we need? I haven't seen any really good ones this year.....
