Do the Raiders Have the Best Defensive End Trio?
The Las Vegas Raiders could finish the season as having the best defensive line in all of the NFL.
The Raiders added a third pass rusher by drafting rookie edge rusher, Tyree Wilson, with the 7th overall pick in this year's 2023 NFL Draft.
Tyree Wilson now joins alongside Maxx Crosby and Chandler Jones. This new trio can be the main dominant factor for the Raiders' defense this upcoming 2023-24 NFL season.
Tyree Wilson was selected seventh overall by the Raiders in this year's 2023 NFL Draft. He played college football at Texas Tech University. During his three-season college career at Texas Tech, he played a total of 32 games, in which he finished with a total of 109 career tackles. He also completed his senior year season with a total of seven sacks with the Red Raiders.
Maxx Crosby is coming off one of the best seasons he has had overall with the Silver and Black. He played and started 17 games with the Raiders last season. He finished the season with a total of 58 total tackles, with 49 of them being solo. He also had a career-high 12.5 sacks with the Raiders last season. Maxx Crosby has proven himself to be one of the best defensive ends in the NFL.
The Veteran Chandler Jones is now entering his 12th season as an edge rusher in the NFL. Last season was his first season with the Silver and Black after spending quality seasons with the New England Patriots and Arizona Cardinals. Chandler Jones at one point, used to be one of the best edge rushers in all of the NFL. He has a career total of 352 tackles and 327 solo tackles. He also has a total of 112 total career tackles as an edge rusher. Last season, he played a total of 15 games, in which he finished with 38 total combined tackles and 19 solo tackles. He also finished the season with a total of 4.5 sacks.
As the season approaches, this defensive line trio could end up being one of the best in the NFL. There is no doubt that the three-edge rushers will be coming after multiple starting quarterbacks this upcoming 2023-24 NFL season.
