Pick Analysis. Offensive Tackle. Clemson. Jackson Carman. player. Scouting Report. 45. 52
Last season, the offensive line for the Jaguars gave up 44 total sacks (tied for seventh-most in the league). This will give Trevor Lawrence another former teammate in a complete franchise rebuilding process.
Creed Humphrey. 46. 31. Pick Analysis. Oklahoma. Scouting Report. Center/Guard. player
(Trade with New England Patriots)
The Giants made the deal with the Patriots so they can address the many issues on their team. They need help in the interior offensive line, which was the main reason for them giving up 50 sacks this season (tied for fourth in the league).
Offensive Tackle. Dillon Radunz. Scouting Report. player. 13. Pick Analysis. North Dakota State. 47
Los Angeles would have preferred to get an offensive tackle in the first round. With Dillon Radunz still being available with the 47th overall pick, it is a suitable second option.

The offensive line, particularly the interior offensive line, remains the weakest among the Raiders’ potentially dangerous offense.
