Oakland Raiders 2017 In-season Mock Draft: Week 7
4. player. 28. The Raiders had high hopes for tight end Clive Walford but he hasn’t live up to them so far. Like Murray and McFadden, you can see his talent but injuries have gotten in the way. He hasn’t been as good of a blocker as I thought and he drops too many passes too. <p>That’s what Lee Smith, who’s now out for the season with the leg injury, was the starter at first. The Raiders Like Gabe Holmes too but he’s out for the season with an injury. We don’t know how they’re all going to be when they come back so bringing in competition is the answer.</p><div class=. TE. Arkansas. Jeremy Sprinkle
And Jeremy Sprinkle is the guy that can compete with these guys for a role on the team. He is known first and foremost as a great blocker in the running game and passing game. But he possesses really impressive athleticism and is a playmaker with the ball in his hands.
He’s not projected to go higher because he hasn’t been used enough at the Arkansas. But there is a lot of raw material there that the Raiders can mold into a good tight end. He would definitely heat up the competition at the position in 2017.
