Raiders’ NFL draft board based on team needs

While the Raiders are adamant they will adhere to a best-player-available philosophy when they make their draft selections, at some point their depth chart and needs will come into play.

After filling multiple starting roles via free agency and through trades this offseason, the Raiders are left with a still prominent need along the offensive line. Depending on what they decide to do with Alex Leatherwood, who was drafted in the first round last year to play right tackle but played primarily at right guard, they could be on the hunt for a starter at either position.

The Raiders also have needs at cornerback, linebacker and safety.

Here is a look at the Raiders’ draft board, reflective of their draft position beginning in the third round. They have picks Nos. 86, 126, 164, 165 and 227.
