The Las Vegas Raiders have stumbled out of the gate in 2024, and the happy thoughts from the upset win over the Baltimore Ravens early in the season are long gone. It is clear that Gardner Minshew is not the answer at quarterback, and with the running game struggling, the offense has been stagnant more times than not.
As we trek through the rest of the regular season, this is looking more like a team that will end up picking very early in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Raiders have done some nice things this year, and have some solid cap space to work with in 2025, but the hopes of a potential playoff push seem to go further out the window with each passing week.
Las Vegas did a nice job in 2024 via the draft, as general manager Tom Telesco hit on a few of his early draft choices. Brock Bowers looks outstanding, DJ Glaze can seemingly hold his own, and Jackson Powers-Johnson looks like a long-term starter along the offensive line as well.
