The Las Vegas Raiders improved in the 2024 offseason. However, one list has their offseason ranked near the worst in the league.
The Las Vegas Raiders spent the offseason staying true to the vision of Coach Antonio Pierce and General Manager Tom Telesco -- drafting the football players with the measurables and intangibles that fit the prototype of their identity. The Raiders also transitioned from gamblers to investors in the 2024 NFL Draft.
"The Raiders splurged on Wilkins and used a luxury first-rounder on Bowers despite drafting Michael Mayer in the second round in 2024," Iyer wrote. "They seemed to be too intent on reversing course from the brief Josh McDaniels era that they didn't move on well early for Antonio Pierce. The biggest oddity of them all is showing limited interest in drafting a QB from a strong class. There's every expectation for them to drop into last in the West.
Two quarterbacks with plenty of red flags -- Michael Penix Jr. had his four season-ending injuries, and Bo Nix was called "undraftable" by former Super-Bowl winning quarterback and expert Drew Stanton -- were taken in the first round. Both were considered risky picks by experts, and the Raiders avoided them. Just three of the six first-round quarterbacks were actually considered first-round picks by Stanton.
