If the Raiders decided to go defensive line instead, Clemson’s Peter Woods is another prospect both Lewis and Brooks agreed upon. The First-Team All-ACC selection racked up 12 tackles for loss and five sacks in his last two seasons with the Tigers.
“Peter Woods versus Pregnon, I would just pick Pregnon because I think we have an opportunity to complete the puzzle on the offensive line,” Brooks said, “and that’s so critical to Klint Kubiak as he’s kind of trying to rebuild this offense around what will be Fernando Mendoza.”
After agreeing the Raiders should go offensive line with the second-round pick, it gave way for Lewis and Brooks to mock the Raiders looking on the other side of trenches at No. 67. The duo is high on “Big Citrus” Domonique Orange, the 6-foot-2, 322-pound defensive tackle from Iowa State.
“That’s kind of a dream scenario right there,” Lewis said of Orange being available at No. 67. “Big ole dude right there in the middle and I think he would line up nicely in the way this defense is going to run here.”
