long arms and hand usage. Should become a starter rig

The Raiders played their first two games at home Bo Jackson Jersey White , but it is going to be some time before they play their next game in Oakland.They’ll be in Minnesota Sunday and Indianapolis in Week Four before heading to London for a “home” game against the Bears. A bye week follows and then they’ll be on to games in Green Bay and Houston before finally playing another game in Oakland on November 3.It was a scheduling quirk that the league’s vice president of broadcasting Michael North said he regretted when the slate was announced in April and it is one that still rankles Raiders head coach Jon Gruden.“We are still trying to understand how that happened, but we are going to have to deal with it,” Gruden said, via NBCSportsBayArea.com. “We just have to showcase our mental toughness and deal with it. It’s uncommon, maybe unprecedented, maybe unrealistic that this should ever happen in pro football. I’m not excited about it, but we’ll adapt and do it the best we can.”Uncommon though it may be, the Raiders are not alone in having that kind of gap between games in their home stadium. The Buccaneers have the same stretch this season and their coach Bruce Arians wasn’t any happier about it than Gruden. The Raiders spent the fourth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft on Clelin Ferrell.

His long arms gives him extra ability to reach the offensive tackle first, and win the hands battle.Smart player, understands how to set up blockers for counter moves, is not one-dimensional in that aspect. Solid strength, makes up for a lack of burst speed. High motor, unrelenting on every play which makes him a force in the run game as well.WeaknessesAs mentioned, lack of burst speed Derek Carr Jersey White , won’t beat anyone with his quickness. Doesn’t have the ‘bend’ that many look for in edge rushers. Not the greatest open-field tackler, but likely won’t find himself in a ton of those positions.VerdictFerrell is one of the elite edge rusher prospects in this class. His size and strength is his calling card. In combination with his motor, Ferrell is solid both as a run stopper as well as a pass rusher. Has the ability to be a three-down player due to that versatility. Intelligent in his use of pass rushing moves, he understands how to get the most of his long arms and hand usage. Should become a starter right away at the next level. A winner at the collegiate level, Ferrell is a natural leader and competitor and will be a nice addition to any locker room.Pro ComparisonVinny Curry or Olivier VernonFit With RaidersClelin Ferrell is the Yin to Arden Key’s Yang. While Key uses his speed rush to get to the quarterback and is a bit of a liability in run defense, Ferrell is nearly the complete opposite. The two of them together could create quite a dynamic duo, and everyone who knows anything about football understands the Raiders have a huge need at edge rusher. While drafting Ferrell at 4th overall could be a reach, he could be an option for the Raiders in a trade back scenario as site editor Levi Damien’s mock draft. Likewise for a trade up from the lower part of the first round. Also, some mock drafts have seen Ferrell fall into the 20’s where the Raiders could select him at 24th. It is more likely that Ferrell goes in the top 20, so a trade back from 4th or a trade up from 24th or 27th (both entirely possible) would be the most sensible way for Oakland to grab Ferrell.
