Raiders NFL Draft Prospect: T Javon Foster of Missouri

The Las Vegas Raiders could wait as long as Day 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft to pick up one of the top all-around offensive tackles of the class, Javon Foster of Missouri.

If the Las Vegas Raiders chose to make their need for an offensive tackle in this year's NFL Draft a Day 3 priority, they should still have many top-tier prospects to select from.

Tackle Javon Foster of Missouri has been one of college football's most consistent linemen over the last three years, but there is a good chance his name does not get called until the fourth round.

Foster started in all 13 games at left tackle for Missouri this past season, helping lead the Tigers to an 11-2 record, including a 14-3 victory over Ohio State in the Cotton Bowl. 

Missouri's offense finished the 2023 college football season at No. 28 in the nation in total offense at 434.3 yards per game and third in red-zone offense, scoring either a field goal or touchdown on 56 of their 58 trips into the red zone.

Foster was named an All-SEC First Team honoree and an Associated Press third-team All-American this last season.

The season before, Foster started all 13 games for the Tigers. He also started all 13 games in 2021, leading Missouri to one of its best rushing seasons in program history. 

Pro Football Focus would rank Foster as the third-best starting tackle in run blocking and name him an All-SEC Honorable Mention.

In total, Foster spent six years at Missouri, playing five.

PFF gave Foster an overall grade of 84.8, a run-blocking grade of 86.5, a pass-blocking grade of 80.9, and a zone grade of 91.3 for the 2023 season.

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.
