Conclusion:
The Raiders are moving to a 3-4 base defense. So, signing solid starting linebackers like Dean and Walker was important. The Raiders have been a revolving door at the position of years. These two signings give the Raiders a chance for some stability at the position for a while. I’d expect the Raiders to also use a Day Two pick on the position as it is considered a strong draft for linebackers and the Raiders need to develop some players there.
