Clemson held its pro day on Thursday, which is basically a national holiday for the Las Vegas Raiders as we all know how much Jon Gruden and Mike Mayock love their Clemson Tigers.
They drafted defensive end Clelin Ferrell, cornerback Trayvon Mullen and wide receiver Hunter Renfrow in 2019, then linebacker Tanner Muse and guard John Simpson last year.
It would not be a surprise if the Raiders’ Clemson streak continues in this year’s draft. One name to consider is tackle Jackson Carman, who just had a great pro day.
Had one prominent scout tell me he loves Carman as the steal of the draft. Absolutely over the moon for his tape. https://t.co/nnNpfUIz1U

Of course, the Raiders have a need at right tackle with Trent Brown being traded to the New England Patriots. So a Carman fit makes a lot of sense. I’m sure we’ll be talking more about the Raiders and Clemson players as the April 29-May 1 draft approaches.
In other Raiders’ links:
- Another vet CB out there: The New Orleans Saints have cut cornerback Janoris Jenkins. Perhaps the Raiders will show interest.
- Offensive needs: The Athletic looks at what the Raiders may do on offense in free agency.
- Priorities; The San Jose Mercury News looks at the Raiders’ priorities in free agency will be.
