Las Vegas Raiders NFL draft picks 2024: Full list of team's round-by-round selections

Here is a 2024 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the 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 three-year 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. He should be quite a run-after-catch threat between the hashes with WRs Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers operating outside. And with fellow TE Michael Mayer, a second-round pick in 2023, likely to handle the bulk of the blocking, Bowers should be free to work downfield ... or even run a few jet sweeps, as he did for the Dawgs on occasion.

Round 2 (44) — Jackson Powers-Johnson, 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. He only allowed three pressures in three years with the Ducks. Draft tracker

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. Draft tracker

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 40-yard dash speed complement his sure tackling to make Richardson a developmental prospect. But his lack of ball production (zero interceptions in college) is a big red flag. Draft tracker

Round 5 (148) — Tommy Eichenberg, LB, Ohio State: Eichenberg helped lead a turnaround on defense in Columbus with his instincts and tackle production. He's much stronger against the run than the pass due to his average athleticism. His feel for the game and understanding of concepts could make him a starter early on. Draft tracker

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. He's also a standout returner who could provide instant impact as he learns the offense. Draft tracker

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. He isn't an elite athlete but quick enough to keep up in the NFL and his instincts will make him a quick fit in Las Vegas. Draft tracker

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. He's an adequate athlete who uses aggression to find the ball and produce in a variety of schemes. At the very least Las Vegas can get solid special teams production from him as a rookie.
