Las Vegas Raiders
Matthew Butler, DT, Tennessee (Round 5, No. 175)
The host city's team didn't pick until the end of Round 3 (due to the Davante Adams trade, which I'm sure it will be OK with), but the fifth-round selection jumped out to me when looking back at the Raiders' class. Butler fits with Vegas as a 3-technique (or perhaps 1-technique at 6-foot-4 and 297 pounds). He is sudden and shows quick feet against the run, but he will get home as an occasional pass-rusher on the interior, too. Butler isn't overly explosive, but he did have five sacks last season and can be disruptive.
I had Butler at No. 144 on my board, so it was pretty solid value. And with Johnathan Hankins and Vernon Butler each entering the final year of their contracts, the Raiders could have a spot open on the interior of the line. For now, the Tennessee product could contribute in a situational role before developing into a full-time starter. Same goes for LSU's Neil Farrell Jr., one of Las Vegas' fourth-round picks.
