28. . OT. Ohio State. Taylor Decker. 14. player

Kelechi Osemele will fit nicely on the right side of the offensive line for Oakland, and now it’s time for them to find a tackle to go next to him.

Taylor Decker from Ohio State has the strength to ensure Latavius Murray has room to run on the right side, and is athletic and quick enough to pass protect opposite veteran left tackle Donald Penn.

Protecting Derek Carr is critical, and given a couple of years of experience, Decker should be able to replace Penn if the Raiders can’t find a suitable replacement by the time he retires.

 

Previously:  Taylor Decker – OT – Ohio State
