Another couple pre-draft visits are occurring today for the Raiders. They are hosting University of Houston defensive line prospect Ed Oliver as well as Penn State offensive lineman Connor McGovern according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Workouts/visits for some top players: #PennSt OL Connor McGovern and #Houston DT Ed Oliver are visiting the #Raiders today, sources say. … #Michigan DE Rashan Gary is getting a visit from #Colts personnel at the school later today.

Oliver is widely considered a top ten prospect in this year’s draft. He has been dominant along the defensive interior for three years at Houston, averaging over 17.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks each season. After Quinnen Williams, Oliver is expected to be the next tackle to come off the board.
McGovern is an All Big10 offensive lineman. He spent most of last season at guard, after playing center his sophomore season. His ability to play both positions is valuable versatility and if he could be gotten with a mid-round pick, he would be a nice replacement for Jon Feliciano who left in free agency to sign with the Buffalo Bills.
