Analyzing the Raiders Interior OL entering the 2022 offseason

Potential Additions

The Raiders will likely look to add at least one starting-caliber guard this offseason regardless if Good and Leatherwood are starters. This is a position the Raiders are unlikely to commit major resources to this position unless they cut Good.

The Raiders are unlikely to break the bank for top talents Brandon Scherff, Laken Tomlinson, Will Hernandez, and Connor Williams but could target more mid-tier free agents such as Alex Lewis or Trai Turner. Ted Karras is a name to keep an eye on as a free agent from New England, but if the Raiders are seeking a high-quality guard for mid-tier money, Alex Cappa would be a solid choice.

The Raiders are unlikely to commit major draft resources to more guards with their gluttony of young options on the roster, but a few names to watch after the 4th round is Aaron Frost out of Nevada who can play both guard and tackle as well as Jalen McKenzie from USC who offers similar versatility and Ben Brown from Ole Miss.
