Oakland Raiders: Post-Combine 7-Round 2019 mock draft

If you’re looking for a mauler with a motor on the defensive line, Joe Jackson is your guy. No, he doesn’t have the most fluid bend, but the Miami product will put a lean offensive lineman or tight end in the quarterback’s lap.

Jackson started all three seasons at Miami, notching 35.5 tackles for a loss and 22.5 sacks. No one can argue with collegiate production. Of course, he’ll need to expand his pass-rushing arsenal to hold a prominent role in the pros, but that’s why teams hire coaching staffs.

Defensive line coach Brentson Buckner could mold a chiseled defensive end into a power edge-rusher who plows through pass protection to disrupt plays. The Raiders instructor shared an old-school view that highlights the physical nature of the position group with NBCS Bay Area’s Scott Bair.

"With a young group, they have to understand that it’s not all about bells and whistles and flash. It’s about effort and engaging in physical violence, wanting to punch someone harder than he wants to punch me,” Buckner said. Do you want to do the small things that allow the big things to fall in place? Everything else will be better if I can help them improve on the fundamentals."

In case you’re wondering, Buckner isn’t that coach that simply screams about running through a wall. His attention to technique could help a power defensive end such as Jackson use his strength and 34 1/8-inch arms to dominate at the point of attack.

Ximines and Jackson aren’t the same type of prospect. The former comes into the league with a broader move set, more wiggle and technical skill. At 6-4, 275 pounds, the latter tosses bodies around and uses uncanny strength to clear his pathway to stops and sacks. It’s a yin and yang concept that could work for defensive coordinator Paul Guenther’s rotation at defensive end.
