Raiders NFL Draft Prospect: Center McMahon of N.C. State

Dylan McMahon is one of the more versatile centers in the 2024 NFL Draft class and could be a valuable late-round selection for the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Las Vegas Raiders are going to need to add depth to their offensive line this offseason.

One of the best ways to do so would be to find players who can play at multiple positions up front, and fortunately for Las Vegas, there are plenty of prospects in this year's draft class who are capable of doing so.

Should it come down to the final day of the draft when the Raiders are searching for one last prospect to add to their O-line, they could be in luck with center Dylan McMahon of North Carolina State, a versatile center who has experience playing not only at center, but both guard positions as well.

McMahon played 10 games in his final season with the Wolfpack, all of his snaps having come at center. He allowed 10 quarterback hurries, a quarterback hit, and a sack. 

Pro Football Focus gave McMahon an overall grade of 66.2, a run-blocking grade of 67.8, a pass-blocking grade of 71.3, and a zone grade of 71.5 for his 2023 season.

McMahon was selected All-ACC Honorable Mention as North Carolina finished 21st in the final AP Poll with a 9-4 record.

The season before, McMahon made 10 starts at right guard before moving to center to replace All-ACC center Grant Gibson, who tore  ACL and missed the rest of the season. McMahon started three games at center, including the Duke's Mayo Bowl.

McMahon's versatility was also displayed during the 2021 season when he made five starts at right guard and seven starts at left guard, while taking some snaps at center in a game as well.

During the 2020 season, McMahon made seven starts at right guard while appearing in nine games.

McMahon played four games, making one start in his first season with the Wolfpack.

From February 27 to March 4, 2024, the NFL Scouting Combine will be held at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind.

The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently hold the No. 13 overall pick.
