HENDERSON, Nev. -- Seemingly from the moment the final whistle blew on their 2023 season, the cry went out from the top of the Al Davis Torch at Allegiant Stadium.
The Las Vegas Raiders need a new right tackle!
And when swing offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor, who had manned the position the past two seasons, left for the New York Giants in free agency, the lament only intensified and all attention turned to the draft. So when the Raiders went on the clock at No. 13 and with Oregon State's Taliese Fuaga available, the pick seemed academic.
