The Raiders could go in a number of different directions in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft. They need a right tackle, an outside wide receiver with speed and more cornerback help. But one position that doesn’t get talked about enough in regards to their needs is defensive tackle.
They were a much different team last season with Johnathan Hankins out of the lineup. And as much as Solomon Thomas and Quinton Jefferson flashed, neither project as high-level starters at this point in their career.
That is why it wouldn’t be all that surprising if the Raiders used the No. 22 pick in the upcoming draft to address their need on the interior defensive line.
