The Las Vegas Raiders have lost some key members of their offensive line this offseason, and they haven't made any moves to compensate.

Regarding the guard position, Dylan Parham is the only guard currently under a long-term contract, making it reasonably necessary that Las Vegas adds some depth to that room this offseason.

Sataoa Laumea is a strong option who had a solid outing at the 2024 NFL Combine.

The former Utah guard received a production score of 68 from NFL Next Gen Stats, which ranked him fourth among all guards at this year's Combine. He also earned an athleticism score of 77 and an overall score of 75, the sixth-best among guards.

Sataoa recorded a vertical jump of 26 inches and a broad jump of 8 feet, 8 inches. He also totaled 26 reps on the bench press.

In his final season with the Utes, Sataoa started 12 games at right tackle, helping lead an offense that finished third in the Pac-12 in rushing at 182.5 rushing yards per game. He was named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team.

Pro Football Focus gave Sataoa an overall grade of 65.4 for his 2023 campaign.

The year before, Sataoa made 13 starts at right tackle and one at right guard. He helped block for a Utah rushing offense that finished 11th in the nation at 217.6. Sataoa received All-Pac-12 First Team honors.

Sataoa was team's starting right guard in the 2020 and 2021 seasons, starting all five of the Utes' games in the 2020 season and 13 the following season. He was named to the All-Pac-12 Second Team for that 2020 campaign and an All-Pac-12 honorable mention for the 2021 season.

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