4. Oakland Raiders: Nick Bosa, EDGE, Ohio State

Another Bosa enters the NFL as the Oakland Raiders land Nick Bosa here. The younger brother of Los Angeles Chargers stud pass rusher Joey Bosa, Nick is missing time with an injury but that won’t hurt his stock as we all know how talented he is.

The only question is what is his ceiling. Sayre Bedinger of NFL Mocks tackles the subject of his ceiling and whether or not Nick can be as good as his big brother.

"In regards to the question of whether or not Nick is or even can be better? I would say at this point, there’s no doubt he has just as high of a ceiling. Nick’s ability to convert speed to power, use his hands, and his natural feel for rushing the passer are so similar to his brother’s. There’s no denying the talent each of these players possesses. In another year, we’ll get to see them both playing on Sundays, terrorizing quarterbacks."

The Raiders need a pass rush desperately after trading away Khalil Mack. They got a couple first round picks, one of which will come up later in this NFL Mock Draft. As for their own No. 1 pick, they get the best edge rusher in this class as they try to put the bad press from that move behind them.
