The 2014 Big Blue View Community Mock Draft is rolling along, and we have now reached the fifth pick in what has thus far been an unpredictable draft. 'Giants'_Fan4Life' is cast in the role of general manager for the Oakland Raiders here, and has chosen Buffalo outside linebacker Khalil Mack for the Raiders.
'Giants_Fan4Life' explains:
The Raiders go best player available with this pick. Mack can step in right away and give the Raiders a young, feature defender.
Valentine's View
It is really hard to argue with this pick here. 'Invictus' wrote a few weeks ago that Mack can "absolutely have a Von Miller type impact on the right team." I honestly don't know if the Raiders are the right team for anybody -- sorry, Justin Tuck -- but by all accounts Mack should turn out to be an outstanding player. Whether it is from the defensive end spot or the linebacker position defenses must have pass-rushers, and Mack should be able to do that.
