On Tuesday, I wrote an AFC West mock draft in which I I selected USC offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker at No. 17 for the Raiders.
I made that choice because Vera-Tucker is a player who can both fill immediate and future needs. He can play right tackle in 2021 and move to guard if needed later. In short, Vera-Tucker would fill a big hole on the offensive line for a long time.
I didn’t reveal my non-AFC West picks, but I wanted to show the four picks immediately after No. 17 to take a look at who may also be on the board for the Raiders when they actually make the pick April 29.
