Raiders News: Former 12th Overall Pick Gets a Workout
The Las Vegas Raiders could be in the market for a nose tackle to add to their rotation. Perhaps the former first-round pick (12th overall) from 2015, Danny Shelton, is the answer.
Do the Raiders need another defensive tackle?
Right now, the Raiders are carrying quite a load of defensive tackles in training camp. Johnathan Hankins, Bilal Nichols, Andrew Billings, and Kyle Peko are all competing for playing time. In addition, you also have this year’s draft picks, Matthew Butler and Neil Farrell Jr., rounding off the group. However, Shelton played for the current Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham last season in New York. Playing in Graham’s system, Shelton appeared in 13 games, recording one tackle for a loss, 12 solo tackles, and half a sack.
