Round 6: Alex Cappa, OT, Humboldt State

Oakland has a very good offensive line, which means they don’t need to address it early in the draft. Instead, they go for a player from a small school with a lot of upside in Alex Cappa from Humboldt State.

Standing 6-foot-7 and 305-pounds, Cappa looks the part of an NFL tackle, but NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein believes a move to guard could happen.

"“Cappa has the size, toughness and movement skills to push his way up the draft board with a strong week of Senior Bowl practices. Conversely, a poor week of practice could bury his stock as his level of competition hasn’t offered up challenges on tape to fall back on for scouts who like him. Cappa is a better run blocker than pass protector at this stage. Because of that, he could be targeted for a move to guard even though swing tackle is a reasonable fit for him as well.” — Zierlein"

Whatever position Oakland sees him at, Cappa is a good value pick here.

Round 7: David Moa, DT, Boise State

With their final pick in this 2018 NFL Mock Draft, the Oakland Raiders take Boise defensive tackle David Moa. The Broncos defender is slightly undersized at 271-pounds but flashed potential at Boise State.

As a sophomore, he had 30 tackles and 8.5 sacks. Problem is he saw his numbers fall as a junior and then turned pro. Could have done himself a favor returning for one more year, but gets drafted here nonetheless.
