No. 159 – Solomon Kindley, G, Georgia
A powerful man that seems to move anyone in his path. He’s best suited for a power scheme at this point, but there is enough mobility to fit just about anywhere. Kindley could start immediately for a lot of teams, but wouldn’t be asked to do so for the Silver and Black.
The Raiders have an excellent offensive line already, so Kindley can take a season to develop and/or provide insurance for Richie Incognito.
Again, the Raiders could go any number of directions, but these players address needs while also fitting the Best Player Available (BPA) strategy that so many franchises employ on draft night. You never want to reach for a need, but when need meets BPA, it’s a home run. This was my home run for Las Vegas.
