Azeem Victor. 3. player. 28. The Washington Huskies are doing so well this year because they have some good football players. So here in the third round the Raiders continue to raid the talent pool they have. And inside linebacker Azeem Victor would be a good get for them. <p>At 6’2″, 235 pounds, Victor is an extremely physical player and has no problems in coverage. The Raiders got a steal in free agency after the season started in Perry Riley. A steal in the third round to challenge for a linebacker spot would be nice.</p> <p>The Raiders waited for 2015 fifth-round pick Ben Heeney to become something this year to no avail. So they shouldn’t do that with Cory James, who may or may not get there. And Malcolm Smith is a cover-backer that’s not covering well these days.</p> <p>So Victor has a chance to come in and compete for a spot next to Riley in 2017. He can potentially give the Raiders two physical presence inside that can stop the run and cover. It’s been a long time since the team has had two such linebackers.</p>. ILB. Washington
