Report: Raiders Top DI Targets Ranked

The Las Vegas Raiders have a strong interior defensive line, boasting talents such as Adam Butler, Christian Wilkins, and others.

Expect the Silver and Black to look for youth through the NFL Draft, which will give them high-ceilings and long-term viability.

Pro Football Focus' Trevor Sikkema recently ranked the best available, and it could be a blueprint for the Raiders in the draft.

1. Mason Graham, Michigan

Sikkema: "Graham has shorter-than-ideal arms for an NFL interior defensive lineman, but outside of that, there is a lot to love. He is fast, violent and relentless, and he can stop the run with great strength. He brings a high floor at all times and a high ceiling in flashes as a 3-technique defensive tackle for a 4-3 front."

2. Kenneth Grant, Michigan

Sikkema: "Grant brings a rare combination of quickness and size to the nose tackle position. He has the strength to dominate single blocks and hold up against doubles. When he's in attack mode, he is an imposing player — I just wish we saw that aggressive mindset more consistently."

3. Walter Nolen, Mississippi

Sikkema: "Nolen isn't the most polished interior defender, but he might be among the most physically gifted. If he continues to grow in his pre-snap plan and hand usage, he can be an impactful, versatile defensive tackle with a high floor due to his strength in run defense."

4. Derrick Harmon, Oregon

Sikkema: "Harmon has just one year of notable production, but that season showcased a player with a high football IQ, consistent competitiveness and NFL-level quickness. He can be an effective 3-technique defensive lineman for an even front."

5. Darius Alexander, Toledo

Sikkema: "Alexander was lightly recruited and was a late bloomer in college football (will be 25 in his rookie season), but his measurables and strength are NFL-caliber. He is a contributing NFL defensive lineman at worst due to his strength profile, with starting caliber impact potential in odd and even fronts."

6. T.J. Sanders, South Carolina

Sikkema: "Sanders is a true 3-technique who wins with linear and lateral quickness to shoot gaps and disrupt. He must improve his hand precision and play strength to be a full-time starter. At worst, he is a contributing rotational 3-technique."

7. Tyleik Williams, Ohio State
