Pro Football Focus is suggesting the Raiders trade for Washington DT Daron Payne. They suggest the Raiders trade pick No. 48 and a future Day 3 pick. Payne is in the final year of his rookie contract, but he does have a fifth year option.
PPF says “The Las Vegas Raiders are desperate for help along the interior in the run game with interior defender Johnathan Hankins hitting free agency, and Payne provides a perfect replacement and upgrade. Pairing him with Maurice Hurst,
who can get after the passer but struggles in the run game, would be a match made in heaven. " They also point out that 2021 is a weak draft class for DTs.
