2023 NFL Draft: Day 2 offensive linemen the Raiders should target
Anton Harrison, OT, Oklahoma
Staying at the offensive tackle spot, we now showcase Anton Harrison, who proved to be an outstanding pass blocker during his time at Oklahoma. In fact, Harrison allowed only three sacks across his three seasons with the Sooners and did not allow a single quarterback hit during his final season with the program.
Harrison is 6-foot-5, weighs 315 pounds, and is another offensive tackle that is garnering first-round buzz. He was invited to the NFL Combine, so we will get to see more of him in a few weeks, but based on what we have seen so far, the former left tackle could easily move to the right side with Las Vegas, and be a punishing player as a rookie.
Darnell Wright, OT, Tennessee
Darnell Wright really improved his draft stock during the Reese’s Senior Bowl, and most scouts feel he will end up on Day 2, likely falling into the second round. He is viewed in the second-tier of offensive linemen, but at 6-foot-6, and 335 pounds, he has more than enough size, and skill to start in Year 1 at the next level.
Wright was named first-team All-SEC last season, which is quite an accomplishment considering that is the best conference in college football. He is a player who has steadily improved throughout his college career, and with a good combine, he could end up hearing his name called in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
