Oakland Raiders: Unlikely ideal draft prospects at No. 10?
Bradley Chubb
Among the four choices, Chubb seems like the most unlikely to remain on the board at No. 10 due to the shortage of quality pass-rushers in this year’s class. Outside of the New York Jets, who most certainly moved up to No. 3 for a quarterback, he could go to any one of the clubs within the top 10 selections as an ideal fit.

Chubb dominated in the trenches for two years on the collegiate level. Between his junior and senior years, he racked up 44 tackles for a loss and 20 sacks. On film, you can see the power, quickness and hand technique used to beat offensive linemen at the point of attack.
For the Raiders, he’d immediately slip into a pass-rushing role opposite Mack. Bruce Irvin would likely play strong-side linebacker as part of a dream trio for the Silver and Black.
According to Adam Caplan, the Raiders may opt to move Irvin to defensive end and unleash him in the pass rush. Of course, a prospect like Chubb joining the unit would scrap those plans. If for some reason the North Carolina State wreaking machine falls, prepare for multiple sack parties in Oakland.
