He\u2019s been in the NFL since 2016 when he was a second-round pick of the Bears. He\u2019s started in 118 games over eight seasons in Chicago and even made a Pro Bowl in 2018.<\/p>\n<p>Whitehair has played both offensive guard and center. He\u2019s almost certainly being brought to Las Vegas to play offensive guard as the team re-signed\u00a0Andre James\u00a0this offseason, who has been their starting center since 2021. The Raiders have a huge hole at right guard right now and Whitehair should be the favorite to start there unless the team drafts an offensive guard early.<\/p>\n<p>Whitehair is a logical addition as he just spent the last two seasons under offensive coordinator\u00a0Luke Getsy, who the Raiders hired recently. He should understand the system well and should be able to start in Week 1 or at least be a high-quality backup.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Las Vegas Raiders Need an RT<\/h2>\n<p>Cody Whitehair doesn\u2019t have experience playing offensive tackle so that remains a major need for the Raiders. The team lost\u00a0Jermaine Eluemunor\u00a0to the\u00a0New York Giants\u00a0in free agency, who started 31 games for the Raiders over the last two seasons with many of those starts coming at right tackle.<\/p>\n<p>Las Vegas still has\u00a0Thayer Munford, who has shown promise at right tackle but he only has 14 career starts. He\u2019d be a risky player to rely on at right tackle, especially if the Raiders draft left-handed quarterback\u00a0Michael Penix Jr.\u00a0At this stage in free agency, the team isn\u2019t going to find a great right tackle so they will likely address the position in the draft but it remains to be seen just how early they\u2019ll do it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Taliese Fuaga Named Ideal Fit for Las Vegas Raiders<\/h2>\n<p>The Raiders could use their first-round pick on a quarterback or a cornerback but the need at right tackle is substantial. There appears to be momentum building that Las Vegas will take an offensive lineman at No. 13 if they can\u2019t get a quarterback they like.<\/p>\n<p>Chad Reuter of NFL.com believes that Oregon State offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga would be the ideal selection for the Raiders in the first round.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFuaga becomes the ideal pick in a less-than-ideal situation, with right tackle Jermaine Eluemenor signing with the Giants this offseason,\u201d Reuter wrote in an\u00a0April 12 column. \u201cFuaga could line up at guard or tackle, depending upon the team\u2019s plan for 2022 seventh-rounder Thayer Munford Jr.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Reuter noted, Fuaga can play guard or tackle but with the addition of Whitehair, the Raiders could likely test him out at right tackle as a rookie. If that doesn\u2019t work out, he should be a very good right guard. If the Raiders don\u2019t have an elite quarterback, having an elite offensive line helps cover up some of those issues. It\u2019s something for the team to consider if they simply can\u2019t land a great quarterback in the draft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders\u00a0have taken a slow approach to free agency but have decided to make their first signing in weeks.
