#36 Oakland Raiders: David Yankey, OG/OT
Rory’s Take: Addressing both sides of the trenches will be essential for Reggie McKenzie and David Yankey is a fundamentally solid and intelligent mauler that could do wonders for the Raiders interior offensive line.
Chase’s Take: Pass rusher/Pass blocking might not get any names printed on jerseys, or satisfy Raider fans who want a franchise QB or WR out of the top two rounds, but I think it is a good possibility unless the Raiders sign a free agent on the line or see reason to believe Menelik Watson will be healthy and ready to play in his second NFL season. Personally I think the Raiders will draft whoever is the best QB available in this spot if they haven’t already selected one in the first round.
