Las Vegas Raiders: Top position needs entering Week 2 of 2021 free agency
Offensive Tackle
Earlier on, the Raiders traded away Trent Brown, a dominant player when on the field, but someone who played in only half the games he was eligible to across two seasons. Brown was traded back to the New England Patriots, and by doing so, the Raiders created a gaping hole at right tackle.
Through the first week of free agency, they have yet to fill that void, and it is certainly still a position group of need. This is a strong draft class when it comes to the tackle spot, so they could wait until then, but they have to have their eyes on at least a few of the remaining free agents who could take over for Brown still available.
Las Vegas has lost sixty percent of their starting offensive line from Week 1 of the 2020 NFL season but did a nice job in bringing back both Incognito and Denzelle Good. Tackle is an issue right now, as the team is set on one side with Kolton Miller, but there is still no legitimate right tackle as we inch closer to April.
