Raiders Draft Prospect: DE Mohamed Kamara, CSU

Kamara finished his Rams career with 179 total tackles, 45.5 tackles for loss, five forced fumbles, and 29.5 sacks. He won Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year and was First-Team All-Mountain West in 2023.

Kamara will be at the combine, showing off his athleticism and explosiveness. Those are two of his most appealing traits as a pass-rusher. He stands at 6-foot-1 and 250 pounds. He has good size and length for an NFL edge rusher.

Kamara played in the Shrine Bowl and was among the best players there. He has strength and speed off the edge with an unorthodox approach. He quickly gets into the backfield and is twitchy when getting after the quarterback.

According to Pro Football Focus, Kamara generated 64 total pressures, including 10+ twice. He is a relentless force off the edge and has the versatility to play in any scheme.

Kamara also projects as a good run defender, as he can explode off the snap and shoot gaps to stop ball carriers. He is a well-rounded player who could be a value pick on the second or third day.

If he wants to be a truly effective pass rusher in the NFL, Kamara must develop a pass-rush move or two. He relies on his athleticism and strength to win against offensive linemen, which does not always work in the NFL. He also tends to be over-aggressive in run pursuit.

Kamara projects as a day three selection, but could see his stock rise with a good combine performance. If the Raiders are looking for a good athlete to play off the edge, Kamara could be a good fit.

From February 27 to March 4, 2024, the NFL Scouting Combine will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.

The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently hold the No. 13 overall pick.
