Which players did the Las Vegas Raiders select in the 2024 NFL Draft?
April 27, 2024
The Raiders entered day one with the 13th pick in the first round.
Las Vegas Raiders went from lowest to highest in the 2023 season. The truncated start with Josh McDaniels at the controls was quickly forgotten with the arrival of the new head coach, Antonio Pierce, who first took over as interim and who the front office confirmed as the official coach for this campaign.
His task is not easy: to a team with few playmakers and a young 4th round QB from Draft (after the terrible experience of Jimmy Garoppolo) needs give it a clear identity that allows it to build a winning environment in the medium and long termsomething that the ‘Sin City’ franchise (formerly in Oakland) has not had for a long time: They have only reached the postseason twice in the last 22 years, losing in the wild card round both times..
Con Tom Telesco, former Chargers, as one of those in charge of building the team, the Raiders are presenting themselves for a 2024 Draft with the expectation of putting together a group of young players hungry to win. In several mocks there was speculation that they would try to go for a first-round quarterback, although It should not be ruled out that they seek to better surround O’Connellwho seems to be the one chosen to guide the franchise.

Which players did the Las Vegas Raiders select in the 2024 NFL Draft?
The Raiders are coming off an uneven season that ended up giving them a mid-range pick on day one: the No. 13 pick.they look for a Minnesota who tried to anticipate a possible quarterback selection, completing a trade back with the New York Jets. Thus, those led by Pierce looked for a great playmaker who knows what it means to win at a high level.
Pick #13, primera ronda: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia
The two-time champion talent with the Bulldogs in 2021 and 2022 of college football is undoubtedly a generational talent in the position and the best in this Draft in that sector of the field. Beyond having an excellent collegiate career (he scored 26 touchdowns in three seasons), his versatility to the point of being able to be used in different ways and the naturalness with which he moves around the field despite his size.
It remains to be seen if Bowers can transfer your physique to the professional levelsince according to some draft reports, needs to develop more muscle mass and better use his strength against more physical defenses. In any case, Las Vegas takes a great value for your offense which he will be able to take advantage of from day 1 since beyond Meyer, he does not have a clear competitor in that position.
Pick #44, segunda ronda: Jackson Powers-Johnson, IOL, Oregon
The Raiders haven’t had a consistent offensive line in years.. Whether it’s Minshew or O’Connell waiting for the snap, This center more than prepared for the NFL level will be a very good ally. They are athleticism and ability to move in open fields They make him a great prospect in the running game to open holes, as well as his energy to not win his matchups. Its versatility is also a notable point, although his performance against more agile defenders remains to be seen..
Pick #77, tercera ronda: Delmar Glaze, OT, Maryland
Another offensive lineman to reinforce what was an obvious problem for the team last year (They allowed a total of 38 catches both Garoppolo and O’Connell) so they take this large-armed competitor who still has to improve his mobility against rival edge rushers.
Pick #112, cuarta ronda: Decamerion Richardson, CB, Mississippi State
The Bulldogs product is a prospect of great physical ability but what needs to evolve in terms of its coverage capacity. His size for the position is more than remarkable, but must work his brand on faster receivers.
Pick #148, quinta ronda: Tommy Eichenberg, LB, Ohio State
A linebacker who stands out for his aggressiveness and ability to stop the running game. His ceiling is not too high and He is not a skilled coverage player.. You need to improve your leg strength, so can develop as a contributor on special teams until he is ready to take defensive snaps.
Pick #208, sexta ronda: Dylan Laube, RB, New Hampshire
Las Vegas acquires someone very reliable for the aerial gamesince one of its main characteristics is to receive passes and be productive both from the backfield and lining up in the slot. As a runner he is a little impatient to go on the inside of the line, but very elusive thanks to his speed and changes of direction.
Pick #223, séptima ronda: Trey Taylor, S, Air Force
This defensive depth has a great physique and it is quite Effective against the run game thanks to quickness to get down to the box and good tackling technique. His problem is when it comes to coverage due to his narrow hips and his little recognition of deep coverage.
Pick #229, seventh round: MJ Devonshire, CB, Pittsburgh
Another high school player for the Nevada team: Devonshire is a player with an amazing physical makeup but he is not characterized by having great speed.. He has great intelligence to read the QB and make plays but His tackling technique can be greatly improved.
