Heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders have major needs along the offensive line. The team could use both starters and depth at the position group with big question marks on the right side at guard and tackle. Luckily, new general manager Tom Telesco has a good track record when it comes to drafting in the trenches, so let’s dive into his history and see what trends there are between the players.
Offensive Tackle
- 2013: D.J. Fluker (Round 1: Pick 11)
- 2017: Sam Tevi (Round 6: Pick 190)
- 2019: Trey Pipkins (Round 3: Pick 91)
- 2021: Rashawn Slater (Round 1: Pick 13), Brenden Jaimes (Round 5: Pick 159)
It’s pretty clear that Telesco doesn’t mind and may even prefer drafting the guard-tackle hybrid types of offensive linemen.
