Raiders 2024 NFL Draft Picks:

  • Round 1, Pick 13: TE Brock Bowers, Georgia

In what was the most surprising pick of the first round, the Raiders went with a ‘best player available’ approach on Thursday night. They get another weapon in the passing game and will have a great tight end duo in Luke Getsy’s offense with Michael Mayer and Bowers.

  • Round 2, Pick 44: C Jackson Powers-Johnson

While Powers-Johnson lined up at center this past season at Oregon, he took snaps at right guard during the 2022 campaign. That’s likely where he’ll contribute to begin his tenure with the Raiders, but he could eventually take over for Andre James down the line. Las Vegas gets the starting interior lineman they were looking for in the second round.

  • Round 3, Pick 77: OL Delmar Glaze, Maryland

The Raiders get a right tackle option. Glaze will likely compete with Thayer Munford Jr. for reps during training camp with the veteran serving as the immediate starter. But Las Vegas at least brings in some competition and someone who can potentially play inside if needed in the Maryland product.

  • Round 4, Pick 112: CB Decamerion Richardson, Mississippi State

The Raiders needed some help at cornerback and made Richardson the first defensive player they’ve taken in the 2024 draft. He’s considered more of a project but will help fill out the depth chart at least in year one.

  • Round 5, Pick 148: LB Tommy Eichenberg, Ohio State

With starters Robert Spillane and Divine Deablo entering contract years, the Raiders add a physical run defender at linebacker in Eichenberg who will add depth this year and compete for a starting job if either of the two veterans walk in free agency. He’s a tough dude who fits Pierce’s mentality.

  • Round 6, Pick 209 (from KC): RB Dylan Laube, New Hampshire

The Raiders were expected to add some depth at running backs in the later rounds of the draft and Laube can be an intriguing third down back. In addition to 749 rushing yards and nine rushing touchdowns, he logged 68 receptions for 699 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns last season.

  • Round 7, Pick 223 (from NE): S Trey Taylor, Air Force

In another instance where Las Vegas may be looking to get ahead of a need and maintain depth next season, they added a safety with starters Marcus Epps and Tre’von Moehrig entering contract years. Taylor had decent ball production in college with 13 career passes defended and an interception.

  • Round 7, Pick 229 (from MIN):
