Raiders trade down and still upgrade their offensive line

After not having a pick in both the first and second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders finally got to work in the third. However, holding onto the No. 86 overall pick, the Raiders decided to trade down, picking up the No. 90 overall pick in the third round, as well as the No. 169 overall pick in the fifth.

The trade was with the Tennessee Titans, and with the pick, the Titans selected Liberty quarterback Malik Willis. Going into the draft, Willis was the top quarterback on our draft board and will get to learn behind a seasoned veteran in Ryan Tannehill in Tennessee.

Turning the attention back to the Raiders, with the No. 90 overall pick, the team went with Dylan Parham, an outstanding interior offensive lineman from Memphis. This is a guy who fills an immediate void on this Raiders roster and gives them depth and flexibility up front along the offensive line.
