CSU Linebacker Cory James Picked By Oakland Raiders In 6th Round

CHICAGO (CBS4) - The Oakland Raiders have drafted former Colorado State Rams linebacker Cory James in the sixth round of the NFL draft.

According to NFL.com, James sort of flew under the radar because he played for CSU but was one of the most consistent playmakers in the country over the past four years.

Mountain West coaches voted him second-team All-Conference. He had double-digit tackles for loss (10 of 65 tackles, with two sacks) for the third time in four seasons as a starter.
