More beef is added to the defensive line here with the 6-4, 300-pound Tyler Clark from the University of Georgia. During his four seasons with the Bulldogs, Clark recorded 119 tackles with 19.5 going for a loss. He added another 6.5 sacks but isn’t going to add much as a pass rusher.

However, he’s good against the run and is a sure tackler. There’s a lot to work with here and new defensive line coach Rod Marinelli will be able to get the most out of him. While Marinelli’s work as defensive coordinator with the Dallas Cowboys the past few seasons was up and down, his abilities as a defensive line coach have never been in question.

(via Packers) The second pick landed in our first-round trade in this mock lands the Raiders one more cornerback as they take Dane Jackson out of Pittsburgh with the 208th overall pick — originally owned by the Green Bay Packers.

The Raiders cornerbacks room has been turned over since Jon Gruden took over and Jackson can give them some solid depth behind Trayvon Mullen, Eli Apple and Jaylon Johnson, who was taken in the second round of this mock.
