Watch: Dreams to reality, all of Raiders draft day phone calls

Is someone cutting onions in here?

Often overlooked in the process of the NFL Draft is the fact that roughly 250 young men get to accomplish what they’ve dreamed of since they were little boys. That’s what makes the draft day calls that teams post on social media some of the most wholesome content on the internet this time of year.

So, get your tissues ready and be prepared to hold back some tears as we go through every call for the Las Vegas Raiders 2024 draft class. Each one starts with general manager Tom Telesco letting the players know they’re heading to Las Vegas and head coach Antonio Pierce welcoming them to the team while the emotions poor out.

Brock Bowers

The Raiders didn’t post Bowers’ draft call but here is the moment he heard his name called and stepped foot in the building. The entire family got in on a “RAAAAAIIIIDDDDERRRRSS!” chant.

Jackson Powers-Johnson

Hope you have those tissues ready as this one might get ya. Powers-Johnson’s voice immediately begins to crack once he picks up the phone.

DJ Glaze

Glaze was much more business-like.

Decamerion Richardson

Assistant general manager Champ Kelly got to break the news to Richardson.

Tommy Eichenberg

Linebacker to linebacker, Pierce and Eichenberg should have plenty of common ground.

Dylan Laube

The entire Laube family was fired up!

Trey Taylor

Another one that pulls at the heartstrings, Taylor breaks down and gives his dad a big bear hug after getting the call.

M.J. Devonshire

The longer the wait, the more emotion. Devonshire let it all out.
