The Las Vegas Raiders went into the offseason needing, at least, one new starting offensive line.

They attacked it in a big way on the first day of the legal-tampering period by signing Baltimore Ravens standout center Tyler Linderbaum. But they still have some needs to address on the line, potentially even after signing potential starting guard Spencer Burford from the 49ers on Tuesday night.

The Raiders, who currently have 10 draft picks, and they could address the line early in the draft. But there also other need to addresss.

And it cant be ignored that the Raiders have recently addressed the unit with a draft-capital commitment. They drafted tackle Caleb Rogers and Charles Grant in the third round last year. They drafted guard Jackson Powers-Johnson in the second round in 2024 and tackle D.J. Glaze in the third round that year. They drafted guard Dylan Parham in the third round in 2022 (their first pick of the draft after the Davante Adams’ trade).

Parham signed with the Jets as a free agent this month, but the others will be or should be in the mix.

So, for the most part, the upper-level of the unit may be in place in Las Vegas. What do you think the Raiders should do on the offensive line?
