The Oakland Raiders have selected offensive tackle Kolton Miller out of UCLA with the 15th overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft.
The Raiders traded back from the tenth overall pick to 15 with the Arizona Cardinals before landing Miller.
The UCLA product will go from protecting Josh Rosen to looking after Derek Carr. Miller, one of the stars of the combine, will likely slot in as the Raiders' right tackle over Vadal Alexander with the possibility of eventually replacing left tackle Donald Penn, who turns 36 on Friday.

What the analysts are saying
- "Miller has the frame to add more mass ... He has the physical traits to become an average NFL starter, but I see pass protection concerns in his future." - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
- "Forgets his feet at contact, allowing rushers to reset and blow past his shoulder. Labors to protect the corner vs. edge speed." - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com
