The Raiders have more holes on their roster than most fans would care to admit. And that was a fact that head coach Jon Gruden alluded to during his introductory press conference Tuesday.

“Certainly we’re gonna have to look at our roster carefully, do we have a fullback? Who is the feature back? Who are the receivers? A lot of things need to be determined . . . The draft will be a big part of it. Who’s available when we pick. What is available to us in free agency,” Gruden said.

Gruden is an offensive-minded head coach. As such, his immediate thoughts leaned toward that side of the ball. However, Oakland needs more help on defense at the top of the 2018 NFL draft after a season that left them clueless as to what their first two draft picks from one season ago will bring to the table due to nagging injuries.

Here is a look at Draft Wire’s latest four-round selections which locks in some outstanding players that could secure the future for the Raiders.

Note: The below draft order are projections based upon the final record of Oakland with the only thing not accounted for being tied teams. The final draft order will be set after the Super Bowl.

Round 1, No. 10. | Arden Key | EDGE | LSU

Khalil Mack is still one of the league’s most dangerous pass rushers, but he could use some help on the other side. Injuries plagued Key early in the season, but when fully healthy, he’s a monster on the edge who has barely scratched the surface of his potential.

Draft Wire’s Luke Easterling’s analysis of former LSU EDGE rusher Arden Key is spot on. There are some injury concerns with Key, however, at an imposing 6-foot-6 and 265 pounds he’s a dynamic talent that when paired with Raiders defensive end Khalil Mack boasts the potential of being one half of quite the dynamic pass-rushing duo.

After Oakland finished No. 32 and No. 24 in sacks over the previous two seasons, it is absolutely imperative that they take a swing at a talent such as Key along the edge.

Key finished his career at LSU with 129 tackles (58 solo), 24.5 tackles for loss, 20.0 sacks, four passes defensed, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 31 games played.
