2022 NFL 7-Round Mock Draft: Las Vegas Raiders fix offensive voids early

Offensive Tackle. Aggies . Kenyon Green. 18. player. 873.

As of today, the first selection for the Las Vegas Raiders will come at No. 18 overall, and they have to do something to address the issues along the offensive line. Brandon Parker cannot be the team’s starting right tackle heading into next season, and while a healthy Denzelle Good should help out in a big way, the Raiders are lacking depth up and down the line.

That is why the Silver and Black need to take a look at Kenyon Green with this pick if he is still available, as he is one of the more versatile offensive linemen in this draft class. Green could play on the interior of the offensive line at the next level, but he is more suited to play offensive tackle and would be an excellent complement to Kolton Miller as bookends in 2022 and beyond.

There is no doubt that the Raiders have other needs, including along the defensive end, and at wide receiver but passing up on a talent like Green cannot happen. The Raiders have tried to get cute in the first round in recent years, but here, they go with a solid, elite offensive line prospect that fills an immediate void.
