There's no denying Khalil Mack looks like a thoroughly immense talent after his debut season with the Oakland Raiders, and his impact on the team should grow each season, with Pro Football Focus research claiming that his stat grades were second only to J.J. Watt on defence last year in the whole league. He had a great season, but does that warrant a jump from 81 to 91, immediately into the upper-elite linebackers in the NFL? I'm not as convinced. He's only played one season and that's a big leap. Mack could well soar to those heights during the season as EA upgrade players, but for now it's steep.
