player. 28. Again, I have to pull out the quote from Del Rio saying, “We like big people around here.” Del Rio might be losing one this coming offseason as right tackle Matt McCants is a free agent. I can easily see a team like the Seattle Seahawks giving him some money. <p>The San Francisco 49ers could also offer him good money and a starting position. The Raiders used all their depth at right tackle this year so they need to replace McCants. And the big person the Raiders choose to take his place in Round 6 is Zach Banner.</p> <p>Banner 6’9″, 360 pounds so he is plenty big and very athletic at his size. He actually played basketball as well as football during his time at USC. He didn’t have a good season opener against Alabama but he has played much better ever since.</p> <p>Banner has plenty to work on, which is why he’s a 6th-round pick but has plenty to work with. But this a tower of power is the type you can play smash-mouth football with at right tackle. Offensive line coach Mike Tice could turn him into something but he’ll start out as depth.</p>. OT. USC. Zach Banner. 6
