Kelechi Osemele

Kelechi Osemele is another stellar offensive guard on the Raiders roster, and is only in the middle of the third year of his five-year deal he signed when the team plucked him away from the Baltimore Ravens. Since coming to Oakland, he has been a perennial Pro Bowler, and figures to have plenty more years with the Raiders.

Osemele is a guy that is going to anchor this offensive line moving forward, and really, all five starters from the 2018 season should be a part of this team in their move to Las Vegas. In 2019, all five of the Raiders offensive starters along the line are locked up, so you can expect better production, especially from the tackles.

The Raiders need to protect Derek Carr if they are going to do anything in the future, as he has shown he can get the job done when he has time. Osemele is as good as it gets at offensive guard, and was a tremendous free agent signing back in 2016.
