Dalton

Wagner

We don’t know how much future there is to reserve for the 33-year-old (happy birthday!), but the Raiders are here for it. The Raiders also signed RB Chris Collier, G McClendon Curtis, LB Jamin Davis, DT Treven Ma’ae, T Joshua Miles, TE Albert Okwuegbunam (remember him?), WR Brenden Rice, G Layden Robinson, WR Justin Shorter, OL Laki Tasi, and T Dalton Wagner to reserve/future deals.

Miller was the Raiders’ sixth-round pick, and it seems very likely that the signal-caller will be back with Las Vegas on their practice squad. Tommy Mellott — a former college quarterback who is making the move to wide receiver — was also part of the cuts for the Raiders. The full list of players who won’t make the 53-man roster: aived DT Zach Carter, RB Chris Collier, DE Jahfari Harvey, WR Shedrick Jackson, LB Matt Jones, DT Treven Ma’ae, G Atonio Mafi, RB Sincere McCormick, DE Ovie Oghoufo, TE Carter Runyon, WR Justin Shorter, OL Laki Tasi, S Trey Taylor, CB Greedy Vance, T Dalton Wagner and S JT Woods, WR Alex Bachman, S Terrell Edmunds and TE Albert Okwuegbunam while Lonnie Johnson Jr. was placed on the injured list and designated for return.

Wagner (6’8/320) was a 3-star recruit and the 61st-ranked offensive tackle in the 2017 recruiting class, from Spring Grove, Illinois, according to 247 Sports. Introducing the tallest draftable Offensive Lineman in the draft. His hand are like wrecking balls both in speed and strength. He will overpower defenders in the run game and stonewall bull rushes in pass protection. He will face some struggles in mirroring quicker EDGEs, but that is to be expected at his height and lack of knee bend. However, if he manages to simply get his hands on a rusher, he can sustain that block through the duration of the play. There are a number of similarities with his fellow gargantuan predecessor Dan Skipper. Wagner will likely be more successful in the NFL, but with improved balance and a deeper squat, he could be a reserve Tackle for a team fairly soon.
