The Las Vegas Raiders are entering draft week with a few things to check off the list by next week. They have to grab a quarterback, and that's pretty obvious, but the way things are now trending, they may just take one at pick No. 13. Michael Penix was a guy who was seen to go in the second round a few months ago, but as things normally happen - he has risen up draft boards.
Now, the Raiders have their sights on him at No. 13 if they can't trade up. But if they did take him, they would still have two more needs to fill on their roster through the draft. They would still need an offensive tackle, cornerback, and a few other positions. Luckily, the draft is very deep in those positions.
As for their second-round pick, they could still get a perfect fit for their squad. Pro Football Focus put together their perfect day two fits for the AFC West, and they picked Kingsley Suamataia, a beast in the second round for the Raiders.

The Raiders need an offensive tackle, and what Suamataia brings is perfect, especially for the scheme that new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy wants to run.
