LAS VEGAS RAIDERS
Round 1 (No. 13 overall) — Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia: Despite being limited by an ankle injury for a good chunk of the 2023 season, Bowers, the only two-time Mackey Award winner ever, had 26 TD catches during his threeyear college career and averaged nearly 60 grabs for 850 yards as the rare player at his position who could dominate a game offensively – sometimes as a ball carrier.
Round 2 (44) — Jackson PowersJohnson, C, Oregon: The 2023 Rimington Trophy winner as the country’s best college center, “JPJ” – who excels as a run and pass blocker – might shift to guard for Vegas.
Round 3 (77) — Delmar Glaze, OT, Maryland: The 6-4, 315-pounder could get a shot at right tackle but must improve his run blocking as Las Vegas continues to build up its front line.
Round 4 (112) — Decamerion Richardson, CB, Mississippi State: Richardson played with current NFL cornerbacks Martin Emerson and Emmanuel Forbes in his time with the Bulldogs. His length at 6 feet, 2 inches and 4.34 40yard dash speed complement his sure tackling to make Richardson a developmental prospect.
Round 5 (148) — Tommy Eichenberg, LB, Ohio State: Eichenberg helped lead an OSU turnaround on defense with his instincts and tackling. He’s much stronger against the run than the pass.
Round 6 (208, from Chiefs) — Dylan Laube, RB, New Hampshire: With no clear lead running back in Las Vegas following Josh Jacobs’ departure, Laube’s a small-school option to bridge the gap. Laube is a dynamic runner and receiver whose drawn comparisons to Danny Woodhead. Also a standout returner.
Round 7 (223, from Patriots) — Trey Taylor, S, Air Force: Taylor started all 36 of his college games with Air Force and has good career ball production (6 interceptions, 19 passes defensed). He won the Jim Thorpe Award as the top defensive back in the country.
Round 7 (229, from Vikings) — MJ Devonshire, CB, Pittsburgh: It’s hard to argue with Devonshire’s ball production in college: 32 passes defensed and eight interceptions in 50 career games, including just 18 starts.
