Raiders 2023: Looking at defensive tackle depth

The Las Vegas Raiders continued to add to the defensive tackle position in the draft as they selected Alabama’s Byron Young at No. 70 and then Arizona State nose tackle Nesta Jade Silvera with their final pick in the seventh round.

It was the second time in as many years as he has been the Raiders’ general manager that Dave Ziegler has taken players at the position. In 2022, he took defensive tackle Neil Farrell Jr. in the fourth round and Matthew Butler in the fifth round.
