After landing their franchise quarterback on Day 1, the Raiders have to wait a while before they select again, and the pick comes at No. 71 overall. This is a selection they received in the Day 1 trade with Arizona, and with it, they bolster the offensive line in a big way with Cooper Beebe.

The Raiders have two open starting spots on the offensive line right now, and even though they brought back Jordan Meredith, he is more of a depth piece. Beebe is one of the more versatile offensive line prospects in this year's draft, having played left guard, and both offensive tackle spots at Kansas State.

A consensus All-American this past season, Beebe started nearly 50 games in his collegiate career, so he will be coming into the NFL with a ton of experience. This is the kind of pick that would give the Raiders a ton of flexibility up front along the offensive line, and based on his skill set, would be a Day 1 starter in the Silver and Black.
