Raiders selected William & Mary OG Charles Grant with the No. 99 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
The Raiders have made significant offensive line investments this offseason after having one of the league’s worst lines in 2024. Grant (6’5/311) is a two-time FCS All-American and the only lineman to make the Payton Award list of finalists this past season. Made 36 straight starts to end his collegiate career with just 9 pressures allowed and a 98.5% pass blocking efficiency rate over the last three seasons. He has the advantage of possessing massive 34’75” arms and 10.25” hands, though his 5.76 RAS score projects a middling athletic profile. A converted high school wrestler, Grant knows how to torque his hips and win leverage battles. However he’s a little light, is still getting comfortable with the finer points of pass protection and will have an adjustment period against NFL caliber competition.
