The Las Vegas Raiders have some solid draft capital heading into the 2023 NFL Draft, and here are some reasons to get excited about it.

Thanks to their 6-11 final record for the 2022 NFL season, the Las Vegas Raiders will hold the No. 7 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Unfortunately for fans of the Silver and Black, the NFL Draft has not been kind to the franchise, as they have swung and missed way more times than they have hit.

However, the Raiders picked up some good talent in the 2022 NFL Draft despite not having a first or second-round pick, and hopefully, the combination of David Ziegler and Josh McDaniels can push all the right buttons this upcoming April.

Las Vegas has more than a few holes to fill on both sides of the ball, and we should know going into April’s draft what the biggest needs are. The Raiders were a playoff team a season ago, and bring back some elite talent, especially on offense, so there is reason to believe this year’s draft class could make the franchise perennial playoff contenders.

Here, we look at three reasons to get excited about the 2023 NFL Draft.
