Raiders 7-round 2022 NFL Mock Draft: Raiders regain their speed

53. Sean Rhyan – Offensive tackle, UCLA

The offensive line struggles have been evident, and the Raiders cannot go into next season without fundamental changes. Sean Rhyan is a player who has been rising up draft boards and could fill one of the holes on the offensive line.

Rhyan has been a starting left tackle for UCLA the past couple of seasons and has put it together in 2021. It does not seem like he will blow you away with athleticism like Kolton Miller, but he is technically sound and powerful.

It is unsure if the NFL will see him as a guard of tackle, but the Raiders could use help at either spot. Rhyan looks like a guy you can plug in and be a consistent starter for years to come, which would be a massive improvement for the Raiders.
