New Las Vegas Raiders senior offensive assistant Joe Philbin spent the 2023 season at Ohio State as an offensive analyst.
That could give the Raiders an advantage in the draft. Philbin knows the Buckeyes’ talents well and he could give the team insight to them.
The Buckeyes’ best draft prospect this year is wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who is expected to be a top four-or-five overall pick. The Raiders don’t have an immediate need at the position, so there is little chance they end up with Harrison.
Yet, there are a few other Ohio State offensive talents who could come from Columbus on Philbin’s recommendation.
