  1. Oakland Raiders

Taylor Decker – OT – Ohio State

If Decker survives this long, the Raiders will be thrilled. Derek Carr was sacked 31 times and the Oakland rushing offense finished 28th in yards. Coupled with the top corners already taken – and picking Kendall Fuller or Eli Apple a bit of a reach at this stage – that leaves the Raiders having to check down to other holes in the roster.

Decker can play either side of the line and the Raiders need help on the left so he will do just fine for Oakland.

The Raiders should also examine available safeties, but there aren’t many projected to land in the first round so that is a position Oakland can save for the later rounds.
