Las Vegas Raiders 2026 Draft Scouting: Offensive Tackles
Miller’s injuries and Glaze’s struggles may force the Raiders’ hand. Here are the top O-Tackle targets for Las Vegas.

The Raiders have addressed their tackle position heavily in the last few years, adding Charles Grant & DJ Glaze in the third round in back to back seasons. In addition to left tackle Kolton Miller, the Raiders have a relatively young tackle room, but issues do arise and it could cause a tackle to be selected highly. Speaking of Miller, the 30 year old missed 13 games in 2025 after a standout first four games (though he could return in week 14 but was held out). Additionally, Miller missed 4 games in 2023, and 1 in 2022 with injuries semi starting to pile up as of recent, though he’s still a foundational tackle and he could see playtime for the next four or more seasons. Glaze struggled in 2025, as did most of the offensive line, allowing 10 sacks and 54 pressures. Glaze, just 23, showed a ton of promise as a rookie allowing 3 sacks and 48 pressures but showing a lot of room for development, which was stunted in 2025. Glaze will return to an offensive system similar to that of his rookie season, and with his experience, strength, and athleticism there’s a good shot he can help return to form. As for Grant, the 2025 3rd rounder, shows a lot of athletic traits, and in his very brief snaps he showed a lot of potential to develop into a franchise tackle on either side.
Early Round Targets:
Las Vegas could, and I say COULD, but with a very big asterisk, take a tackle at 36, though I’d expect a tackle more in the 3rd or 4th round. The team has Kolton Miller at LT, and head coach Klint Kubiak along with GM John Spytek have spoke highly of DJ Glaze, along with 2025 3rd rounder Charles Grant. The Raiders likely roll with one of those, which is why this section will contain the clear cut R1 -2 Targets!
- Francis Mauigoa, Miami (FL) -> best T in the class, pure RT, will go top 10. Has good power & movement skills
- Spencer Fano, Utah -> Natural RT, will go top 15, has decent strength, lacks foot speed and struggles with speed/speed to power. Could shift into G or even C.
- Monroe Freeling, Georgia -> Mini Kolton Miller, elite athlete, will go top 20.
- Kadyn Proctor, Alabama * -> Likely a G, struggles with speed, lacks hip flexibility, fluid lower body, needs to cut weight. Pure Power Guard, could be an All-Pro
- Blake Miller, Clemson -> Good athlete, does a lot well, don’t know pure ceiling, natural RT. MIGHT be an option at 36 for Las Vegas, but consensus and talks are he’ll go top 24 (Lions love Miller). Very high upside T prospect, with high floor of a consistent starter.
Possible 36th Overall Options:
- Max Iheanachor, Arizona State (Consensus: Early 2nd)
- I don’t think Iheanachor will be available at 36, if he is it’s probably a no brainer for Las Vegas if they want to take the swing. He’s a very raw tackle prospect, but at 6’6/330 shows incredible natural strength, is an elite athlete, and his combination of both paired with above average technique makes him an intriguing right tackle option. He needs to develop his technique, and his overall ability to play vs power rushers with a better anchor, but Iheanachor has the upside to be a franchise tackle.
- Caleb Lomu, Utah (Consensus: Late 1st to Early 2nd)
- I could see Lomu available, he’s a physical massive human being, and also shows good initial movement off the LOS, an above average ability to work in space, and he anchors well. Lomu struggles vs twitchy pass rusher, has heavy feet, and his ability to adapt to RT could be difficult as he’s a career LT. At just 21, Lomu has immense upside, but the conversion to RT could deter the Raiders from taking him and trying to make a square peg fit into a circle.
Left Tackles
Austin Barber, Florida (Consensus: Early 4th)
HT: 6’6 | WT: 318
Career: 2620 snaps (1432 PBLK), 11 sacks, 10 hits, 61 pressures (4.2% pressure rate), 27 penalites allowed
Testing: 5.12 40 (1.76 10-Split), 32 Vert, 9’03 Broad | 9.81 RAS | 33 1/3” Arm
- Barber most likely plays LT in the NFL, but …
