2. Yannick Ngakoue

Of all the players on this list, Ngakoue has been the most consistent throughout his career. He has put up no less than eight sacks per year and that includes the 2020 season, when he changed teams twice once during the season. Ngakoue would certainly be an upgrade over any of the current in-house talent at the defensive end position.

He would also provide the Raiders with stability at the position for years to come. After all, he’ll only be 26 heading in 2021. It won’t hurt for the Raiders to put their name in the proverbial hat to bring in Ngakoue. Way back in 2019, Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report predicted Ngakoue could land a five-year $93 million dollar deal at the end of the 2020 season, this number could quite possibly come true if not be even bigger.

The Raiders certainly won’t be the only team bidding for Ngakoue’s services either. However, if they can somehow manage to swing a deal for him, he would instantly make the defensive front better by leaps and bounds.
