Las Vegas Raiders: One draft prospect to target from each top-25 program
BYU mainly rode QB Zach Wilson’s arm to an 11-1 record, but he benefited from playing behind an excellent offensive line. According to PFF, Brady Christensen was one of the highest-graded offensive linemen in college football last season (96.0). With over 2500 snaps at left tackle, Christensen is an experienced player with solid technique and good strength.
The issue and what will likely make Christensen a Day 3 prospect is the lack of athleticism. It wasn’t a big factor at the Group of Five levels, but going against NFL-type speed could be a difficult transition. He may have to move to right tackle early on, and if not, perhaps he becomes a guard.
However, with his savvy and strength, he has the ability to stay on a roster and be a serviceable starter if put in the right system. For the Raiders, he could be an excellent swing tackle that gives them reliable depth.
