The Las Vegas Raiders traded away Gabe Jackson and Rodney Hudson in the interior of their offensive line this offseason, and at one point, it looked like they would also be without Richie Incognito in 2021. Well, they re-signed Incognito, and brought back Denzelle Good, with Andre James and Nick Martin bringing depth at center.

However, they need a long-term solution at the guard spot heading into this upcoming season, and Aaron Banks is a guy who could end up being the top interior offensive lineman in this draft class. Banks carved out an All-American career during his time in South Bend, becoming a key on one of the best offensive lines in all of college football, going to two College Football Playoffs.

Banks is a guy who could come in and start right away, enabling the Raiders to use Good as more of a utility offensive lineman, as he has the ability to play both guard and tackle. The Raiders have to make the offensive line a priority on Day 1 and 2, and the combination of Banks and Jenkins helps them do just that.
