Edge. Ohio State. Nick Bosa. 2. player. 28.

Prior to the 2018 NFL season, the Oakland Raiders made the decision to trade away Khalil Mack, a generational talent at the edge rusher spot. Through the first nine weeks of the season, his absence has been very evident, as the Raiders have a historically bad pass rush, and have won only one game.

For Mack, the Raiders received a bunch of draft picks, including first rounders in 2019 and 2020. Their first pick in round one, however, will come due to the fact they are one of the worst teams in football this season, and they should look to replace Mack with the selection.

When it comes to edge rushers in 2019, Nick Bosa stands out above the rest, and is someone that has to be on the Raiders radar. He is an explosive player, and on the Raiders, he would team with Arden Key to give the Silver and Black a solid pass rush tandem for years to come.

Oakland has a lot of work to do, and lucky for them, they have three first round draft picks next April. They cannot afford to miss with these selections, especially at No. 2, where they just may find their next generational pass rush talent in Bosa.
