Raiders NFL Draft Prospect: C Kingsley Eguakun, Florida

If the Las Vegas Raiders choose to take a center in this year's draft, who they take and when they will take them will depend on what they have to work with.

Raiders center Andre James is a free agent, but in the event that he stays, Las Vegas might want a center who is more versatile and would serve well in a backup role where he can fill in where and when he is needed. Should James leave, though, it might be in the Raiders' best interest to draft a prospect who is purely a center and has years of experience at the position, given the lack of true centers on the roster.

Kingsley Eguakun checks that box, as he spent his last three seasons at Florida as a starting center.

Eguakun had an unfortunate final collegiate season, missing much of the season with an ankle injury. He would make only four starts at center, partially contributing to a Florida team that finished top 50 in the nation in total offense. Pro Football Focus gave Eguakun an overall grade of 60.4, a run-block grade of 65.9, a pass-block grade of 61.3, and a zone grade of 73.7 for his 2023 season.
