5 Offensive Linemen worth trading up for in 2022

When it comes to the 2022 class, two men are standing out above the rest in terms of the offensive tackle spot. Evan Neal and Ikem Ekwonu are two players who are considered the No. 1 and No. 2-ranked prospects at the position in the class, and both men are likely to be gone by the time the New York Giants pick at No. 5 overall.

That leaves the likes of Charles Cross, Trevor Penning, and even Kenyon Green as the final three players the Raiders could move up to get. Cross is considered by some as a potential No. 1 overall pick and is arguably the most elite pass-blocking offensive tackle in the draft class.

Penning showed his nasty side during the Senior Bowl week and saw himself rise up the draft board, but is still considered a mid-first round selection. Green is a versatile offensive lineman that could play on in the inside or out at the next level, and the Silver and Black have needs in both areas, making him a very interesting prospect as well.
