Raiders Select DT Treyvon Hester in Seventh Round of 2017 NFL Draft

TREYVON HESTER
Position: Defensive tackle
College: Toledo
Height: 6-foot-2
Weight: 300 pounds
Selection: Seventh round, No. 244 overall

ALAMEDA – The Raiders' added yet another big defensive tackle to the roster with their fourth and final pick in the seventh round. Toledo's Treyvon Hester was the selection, another powerful gap controller, who can break into the backfield with regularity at the college level.

Analysts say he has active hands that help him beat blockers. Critics say his motor can run out during longer plays, and may not have quality pass-rush ability.

He could develop into a rotational piece on the defensive interior, and he'll have a chance to compete for a 2017 roster spot. Several lower-round or undrafted talents have contribute there, and Hester will certainly try to add his name to that list.
