Heading into training camp, the right tackle spot was the biggest area of concern for the Raiders. And going into Week 7, that is still the weakest spot on the entire roster.

The Raiders have tried several different players at that position since the start of training camp and none of them have been reliable or consistent. It appears they just don’t have a quality right tackle on the roster and likely won’t at any point this season.

In a recent article by Alex Ballentine of Bleacher Report, he named the three biggest needs for the Raiders going into the 2023 offseason. Atop of the list was an offensive tackle, as you might expect. Here is a snippet of his thoughts on the offensive line:

“It should be a top priority for the Raiders to find someone who can man that right tackle spot. Ideally, it would be a player pro-ready enough to be serviceable as a rookie before developing into a cornerstone of the offensive line.

Kolton Miller is already great on the left side, so finding a bookend would be a huge step in the right direction for an offensive line that has improved in run blocking this season but still needs another tackle to be good.”

The Raiders are hopeful that Thayer Munford might be able to grow into that role, but that seems unlikely. Instead, he could be an option as the team’s swing tackle.

The front office has to do a better job of finding offensive linemen this offseason as only Miller and Dylan Parham have been quality players to date. It’ll likely be their No. 1 goal during the 2023 offseason.
