The Las Vegas Raiders may have found the missing piece to their talented defense.
The Las Vegas Raiders made a critical yet underrated addition to their roster via the NFL Draft. The Raiders have one of the best linebackers in the AFC, Robert Spillane, and another linebacker in Divine Deablo, a former defensive back with skills few other linebackers possess. Still, the Raiders wisely added to their linebacker unit, even though Deablo and Spillane rarely missed time last season.
Eichenberg was drafted to a team that could use his skill set. The Raiders also have a former NFL linebacker as its head coach—a former starting NFL linebacker who was a significant contributor on a Super Bowl-winning team. Few situations in the NFL would have been better suited for Eichenberg to walk into as a rookie in the league.
“The Raiders found a potential starting middle linebacker in Eichenberg,” Reuter said. “The former Buckeye probably won't play in obvious passing situations, but if the offense tries to bully lighter boxes, Las Vegas might want to counter by playing an extra run-stopper like Eichenberg alongside returning starters Divine Deablo and Robert Spillane.”
