Oakland Raiders Can Take or Leave Their 2013 Draft Class

2. player. 28. Round 2 seems to be the round where McKenzie likes to take chances on an athletic, boom-or-bust player. But so far, Mario Edwards Jr. of the class of 2014 is the only player that has worked out. Right tackle Menelik Watson, the 2013 second-round pick, hasn’t worked out. <p>The super athletic 6’5″, 315-pounder was a college basketball player and an amature boxer. But he only played three years of football his whole life before he went into the 2013 NFL Draft. He hasn’t had time to develop much because he’s been hurt more than anything.</p> <p>When he finally got over his latest injury to play down the stretch this year, he didn’t distinguish himself. Right tackle remains the big weakness of the offensive line because Watson Hasn’t been good. Austin Howard played well there last year but this year, he has been worse.</p> <p>So if it’s a matter of Watson or Howard, look for Howard to go and Watson to be signed cheap. However, he has done absolutely nothing to show that he is the long term answer at right tackle. So he could either stay cheap as a backup or end up in another uniform in 2017.</p>. OT. Florida State. Menelik Watson
