The Oakland Raiders have a dire need at inside linebacker, and the best prospect at the 2017 NFL draft may have torpedoed his draft stock recently with a diluted urine sample at the 2017 NFL Scouting Combine in former Alabama inside linebacker Reuben Foster.

Foster also had an altercation with medical personnel that led to him being sent home from the combine after becoming impatient while waiting on tests.

As such, there may be a realistic chance he could be available for Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie with the No. 24 selection overall. Here is what McKenzie had to say about Foster at Friday pre-draft press conference.

“I mean, we just take everything into account. That’s all part of the process. Where he goes and all of that, we kind of leave it in the room. All that information that comes when we do our due diligence, and he’ll go on the board accordingly.”

Despite this season’s off-field issues, Foster projects to be a stalwart in the middle of an NFL team’s defense for years to come. Whether or not McKenzie takes the chance on him, remains to be seen.
