The Las Vegas Raiders drafted surefire starters like Brock Bowers and Jackson Powers-Johnson, but who are the sleepers for the 2024 season?
The Las Vegas Raiders had a 2024 NFL Draft class that has been well-documented for fitting the vision and direction that Coach Antonio Pierce wants to take the team. General manager Tom Telesco and Pierce were on the same page, and the draft class showed it.
Jackson Powers-Johnson is another big name in the rookie class. Powers-Johnson was widely considered one of the best linemen in the draft, and falling to the Raiders was another sign of a stacked class -- and poor drafting. He will likely be starting at guard on Day 1. But those are just the big names. The Raiders had a solid draft, top to bottom, and there are potential gems littered throughout that could out-perform their draft position. These are the three overlooked Raiders rookies that could end up surprising in 2024.6-foot-2, 233 pounds of pure physicality. Nails, rocks, pick your idiom -- the kid is tough. Eichenberg fits the mold for what Pierce wants in a linebacker and is similar to Robert Spillane in that regard.
Taylor was a seventh-round pick for a reason -- there are plenty of question marks when it comes to his perceived ability. But he looks all the part of something special from a physical standpoint, and what is between his ears makes one wonder if he can't be something more in this league.Laube is a small-school player with big-time versatility. He was a standout in offseason programs, and the Raiders took note.
