The Las Vegas Raiders reshuffled the deck in terms of their offensive line this offseason, trading away the likes of Rodney Hudson and Gabe Jackson. These moves left the team with a lot of decisions to make, and they cured some of their issues by re-signing both Richie Incognito and Denzelle Good.

In the first round, the Raiders add Teven Jenkins in this mock draft, filling their hole at the right tackle spot. Here, with their fourth-round selection in this mock draft, the Raiders tap Notre Dame star Aaron Banks, who is fresh off an All-American season for the Irish, and a dominating performance in the Senior Bowl.

In Banks, they would get a long-term solution at one of the offensive guard spots, as he and John Simpson could man those spots for years to come. Incognito is not getting any younger, and in Banks, they get a player who has a lot of versatility, strength, and agility, someone who could be a Pro Bowl player down the line.
