The prevailing wisdom after the initial free agency stage states that Raiders need to select a right tackle in the first round of the NFL draft. It is not a consensus, however.

Of course, tackle is a popular choice. There is not much agreement on who exactly that player will be, but a name appears three times.
A mock even makes Raiders negotiate to fill a different need.
Here is a look at who some of the experts believe Raiders will select on April 29th, from the most-to-least-mentioned order.
