In this episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast, we look at the Silver and Black’s newfound investment in the NFL Draft rather from their previous status as gamblers.
In less than two weeks, the Las Vegas Raiders will hold the NFL Draft, and they are putting the finishing touches on their draft board in an effort to find the team’s next great player.
Coach Antonio Pierce, Defensive Coordinator Patrick Graham, Offensive Coordinator Luke Getsy, and General Manager Tom Telesco are all aggressively scouting players that have the potential to drastically alter the Silver and Black for the ensuing ten years.
The group is advancing with a single goal in mind and is looking forward.
In this episode of the Las Vegas Raiders Insider Podcast, we look at the Silver and Black’s shift from being gamblers to investors in the NFL Draft due to their newfound leadership.
Maxx Crosby has responded to such high praise from one of the greats. Howie Long, the defensive end for the Las Vegas Raiders, recently stated that Crosby has a place among the best Silver and Black defensive lineman of all time.
Yes, it’s really humbling. It’s humble, to put it mildly. I mean, I really look up to those guys. Ultimately, those guys altered the course of the game. Within this organization, they were trailblazers. The list is endless, including men like Howie [Long] and Lyle [Alzado]. Those guys were top-notch players who played the game like true savages. Ted Hendricks, for example, is another. I consider his wife to be family, as does my own wife. George Atkinson and Charles Woodson—I could go on forever—those guys are the ones who drew the initials. And since I’m always asking them questions, hearing it from Howie is a huge honor and motivates me even more to reach my full potential.
The NFL Draft is scheduled for April 25–27, 2024, in Detroit, Michigan. With the 13th overall pick right now, it belongs to the Las Vegas Raiders.
