Las Vegas Raiders NFL Draft pick named the best in its spot since 2015

In what was his final draft with the franchise, former Raiders general manager Reggie McKenzie struck gold when he selected left tackle Kolton Miller.

Since being taken with the No. 15 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, Miller has become one of the better players at his position in the NFL. However, with no Pro Bowls or All-Pro nods under his belt, one can certainly make the argument that he's underrated.

Whatever the case may be, Pro Football Focus' Trevor Sikkema named the Raiders left tackle as the best No. 15 overall pick since 2015 in his All-Decade NFL Mock Draft. Here's the write-up on Miller:

The Raiders didn’t get many draft picks right during the Jon Gruden era, but Kolton Miller turned out to be a big hit. He has recorded single-season PFF blocking grades above 80.0 for each of the last three seasons.

There weren’t many other standouts to consider here, which means 2024 rookie Laiatu Latu has a chance to make a name for himself as the most recent No. 15 pick.

Backing up our statement about Miller being one of the league's best tackles, PFF's Zoltan Buday ranked the UCLA product as his No. 10 offensive tackle in the NFL going into 2024. Making that ranking more impressive is the fact that Miller was impressive in 2023 despite being banged-up.

The Raiders have some question marks upfront going into 2024, but at least they are rock-solid at the most important position spot.
