3. Romeo Okwara
Romeo Okwara had a career year for the Detroit Lions in 2020, racking up 10 sacks, 44 total tackles 11 for loss and 18 quarterback hits. He also played in all 16 games for the second time in his career since his rookie year. Okwara only started nine games this year and played 67 percent of the defensive snaps for the Lions.
Okwara may have a lot of suitors this offseason due to his lack of name recognition and his price tag could lower as a result. His age will also be a major selling point in negotiations. At 26, he’s just entering his prime and potentially has several years to offer the Raiders. On the other hand, similar to Hendrickson there are some questions about whether or not last year was potentially a fluke or a sign of what’s to come.
This was the first time he cracked double-digit sacks and registered more than five one other time in 2018 when he tallied seven and a half. If the front office believes he can continue at a similar pace, they should be very much involved in the courting process for Okwara.
