The Las Vegas Raiders have yet to make a splash with signings regarding their offensive line. Maybe Jermaine Eluemunor is the answer at right tackle, for now.

The Raiders’ brain trust has been busy this offseason. Their defense has been upgraded with the acquisition of Chandler Jones, and they added quality depth to their secondary with Rock Ya-Sin. Offensively, the team executed one of the biggest blockbuster trades in recent NFL history by sending draft capital to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for the league’s top wideout, Davante Adams.

Through all of that glitz and glamour, though, what about the offensive line?

As it stands, the Raiders’ offensive line still needs to be addressed. Besides Kolton Miller at left tackle and maybe Andre James at center, the rest of the slots are far from being determined.

Jermaine Eluemunor, who came on board September 2nd of last year, played in 14 games last season. He started three of those contests, with much of his playing time being spent in the interior.

Here, we discuss why he may be the answer for the Las Vegas Raiders when it comes to the right tackle spot in 2022.
