With their second round pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, Reggie McKenzie and the Oakland Raiders selected Menelik Watson, offensive tackle out of Florida State. Considered a raw prospect that needed plenty of refinement, Menelik has failed to live up to the expectations of his draft slot. Or to even remain healthy, for that matter.
After the Rodger Saffold fiasco in the 2014 offseason, Austin Howard was added to the mix, and he has not lived up to his 5-year, $30 million contract.
With that being said, it’s not really news that the Raiders have a significant hole at right tackle.
