The Oakland Raiders pick ILB Travis Goethel in the 6th round
The Raiders have picked inside linebacker Travis Goethel with the 190th overall pick (6th round) of the NFL Draft. He has the size at 6’2″, 240 pounds to handle a job on the inside of the D but he’s not very fast 4.86 40 which will hurt him trying to chase around running backs at the NFL level. Goethel had 53 tackles and 1 interception last season for Arizona State. He finished up with 223 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble and 3 interceptions (1 returned for a TD) in his time at Arizona State. Goethel will have to earn his roster spot on special teams this season but he could develop into a helpful defender for the Raiders down the road.
