Raiders Draft 2024: Jackson Powers-Johnson has potential to be the glue of offensive line

Jackson Powers-Johnson wearing Silver & Black just makes way too much sense.

From a philosophical and schematic standpoint, the University of Oregon offensive linemen epitomizes exactly what the Las Vegas Raiders want: Domineering, effective, and mean.

Head coach Antonio Pierce wants his desert marauders to have ill intent and be violent, traits that Powers-Johnson exhibits on seemingly an exponential level.

So when the Raiders made him not only the No. 44 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft but the first Duck drafted by the Silver & Black since the AFL/NFL Merger in 1970, it just made way too much sense.
