With the Las Vegas Raiders’ picks in the books, here are some early thoughts:
The trenches: The Raiders went to work on both the offensive and defensive lines. They took two players at both spots. They took Memphis’ Dylan Parham (third round) and Ohio State’s Thayer Munford (seventh round) on the offensive line and defensive tackles Neal Farrell (LSU, fourth round) and Matthew Butler (Tennessee, fifth round). Parham and Munford are both versatile. Farrell is a good run stuffer and Butler can provide some inside pass-rush. So, the Raiders gave themselves some trench flexibility with two thirds of their six-player draft class.
