Las Vegas Raiders: 3 areas of concern as the 2022 calendar turns to April
Right side of the offensive line
The Las Vegas Raiders have done a nice job revamping the roster on many of the areas they needed to address this offseason. However, one area that was really a concern last season was the right side of the offensive line, and they have yet to address that yet.
Alex Leatherwood was the team’s first-round draft pick in 2021, and the expectation was that he would come in and be their right tackle for the foreseeable future. While that was the hope, the reality was that he struggled mightily in that role, and before the season was done, he had been kicked inside to right guard.
Las Vegas has brought back Brandon Parker and Jermaine Eluemunor to fight for the position, and some believe Leatherwood could get another shot at right tackle in Year 2. Still, the Raiders have to address this in a big way, as they brought in way too many new weapons to have that right side struggle again in 2022.
