Las Vegas Raiders: 2024 NFL Draft Tracker, Grades, and More
By Brad Weiss
The time has come for the 2024 NFL Draft, and for the Las Vegas Raiders, it will be the first with Tom Telesco as their general manager. Telesco came to the Raiders after over a decade in the same role with the Chargers franchise, and he made some huge Day 1 picks during his tenure there.
For the Raiders, the need for a quarterback has dominated the headlines, and some felt they could make a massive move on Day 1 to trade up for one. However, more focus should be placed on positions like offensive tackle and cornerback, two glaring needs that could turn this Raiders team into a contender next season.
With the first round in the books, let us take a look at the current draft picks for the Raiders. As the draft continues on, we will update this page with grades and other key draft storylines as the Silver and Black navigate this very important part of the offseason.

It will be interesting to see what the Raiders plan to do with these eight picks, as they have plenty of holes to fill on the roster. For Telesco, the task at hand was to make sure the Raiders do not make a huge mistake on Day 1, as that has hurt this franchise for years, and is a cause for so many years on the outside looking in at the playoffs.
