Don’t be shocked if you peruse the mock drafts and see the Las Vegas Raiders pegged to pick an offensive tackle. Yes, it’s early in the NFL Draft process. And also yes, a tackle isn’t the sexiest pick at No. 7 overall.
But the projections aren’t likely to change drastically as we careen towards the April event. And that’s due to the dire need Las Vegas has on the offensive line. NFL games are often won and lost in the trenches so it isn’t shocking to see the top offensive tackle as the projected pick at seventh overall.
