Raiders NFL Draft Prospect: G Zak Zinter, Michigan

The Las Vegas Raiders have a lot to figure out on the interior of their offensive line as starters Andre James and guard Greg Van Roten are both free agents this offseason.

Regardless of what either player chooses to do in free agency, it is critical that the Raiders add depth to the guard room. In the 2024 NFL Draft, there will be plenty of talent at the guard position for the Raiders to consider.

Guard Zak Zinter of Michigan is one of the best guards in the draft class and is a prospect who should be off the board by the third round at the latest.

Zinter was part of one of the best offensive lines in the nation this past season before his career with the Wolverines was cut short when he suffered a broken fibia and tibia against Ohio State, ending his final collegiate campaign. Despite the injury, Zinter was named to the All-Big Ten First Team and was also named a unanimous first-team All-American. He was also a William V. Campbell Trophy finalist, a Rotary Lombardi award semifinalist, and an Outland Trophy semifinalist.
