3. Oakland Raiders: Nick Bosa, DE Ohio State

The Oakland Raiders traded Kahlil Mack to the Bears leaving an already questionable defense without its best pass rusher and biggest star. It is very important they find a pass rusher in the draft and it just so happens the best one fell to them here.

Chargers star Nick Bosa’s younger brother plays on one of the more talented teams in college football. That hasn’t stopped him from being a star, racking up 13.5 sacks in his first two college seasons. It almost seems lazy to compare him to his brother but he has the same virtually effortless pass rush traits as Joey.

I can see Nick becoming the next great pass rusher in the NFL, a position that’s a premium, just look at Kahlil Mack’s new deal.
