Raiders strengthen interior D-line with P.J. Hall

The Oakland Raiders have selected defensive tackle P.J. Hall out of Sam Houston State in the second round with the 57th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Hall could earn a starting spot by Week 1 as the Raiders' interior defensive line is among the weakest position groups on their roster. Hall is the second pick under the new Jon Gruden regime, following first-round offensive tackle Kolton Miller.
