Las Vegas Raiders. Curtis Weaver. 17. player. 28. . Defensive End

This is the second pick of the first round for the Raiders, this time their own selection. After taking Henry Ruggs III to add a bit more explosiveness to their offense, the Raiders will shift to the defensive side of the ball with this pick, tabbing Boise State defensive end Curtis Weaver to bolster their pass rush.

Oakland has been looking to revitalize its pass rush since trading Khalil Mack to the Bears last season, and Maxx Crosby has started that process along the defensive front. Adding a power rusher like Weaver opposite of Crosby could allow the Raiders to have a pair of bookend rushers to make life difficult for opposing offensive linemen.

46. . Defensive Tackle. Indianapolis Colts. Raekwon Davis. 18. player

The post-Andrew Luck era has been smoother than expected for Indianapolis, which finds itself right in the thick of things for a wild card spot in the AFC. With quarterback Jacoby Brissett signing an extension, don’t be shocked if the Colts wait to find a long term answer at the position to address a more immediate need.

The biggest issue the Colts can fill here is the defensive line, which can be addressed with the selection of Alabama defensive tackle Raekwon Davis. Pass rush isn’t a given with Davis, but he can be a stout run-stuffer that is capable of fitting into any defensive scheme.
