Raiders selected Alabama State OT Jylan Ware with the No. 231 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft.
Ware (6’8/317) was a three-year starter at the D-IAA level whose stock took off at the Alabama State Pro Day, where he ran a freakish 4.99 forty. He came onto the radar of Rotoworld draft analyst Josh Norris, who ranked Ware as one of this year’s top-140 prospects before the draft. While obviously a major project, Ware’s size and movement skills make him an intriguing developmental ball of clay in an offensive line-starved league.
