Former Raiders draft bust is doing something he never did in Las Vegas

The Las Vegas Raiders have hit on two consecutive first-round draft picks in tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty. That hasn't necessarily breeded a lot of team success, but the Silver and Black have at least got a few seeds of success already in the building.

Over the years, however, the Raiders have struggled to find difference-makers in the NFL Draft. Whether it has been whiffing on first-rounders or failing to consistently find value in the later rounds, Las Vegas has been largely sunk due to miscues in April.

While there are more egregious examples like Damon Arnette, Henry Ruggs or Johnathan Abram, none of whom even finished out their rookie contracts in Las Vegas, there have been a handful of other first-round picks who have been simply unremarkable, like Clelin Ferrell or Tyree Wilson.
