Raiders draft: Don’t discount Nesta Jade Silvera

Another offseason, another open competition at nose tackle. Such is the case for the Las Vegas Raiders all over again.

A season after Andrew Billings earned the role of the space-eating run-stuffing defensive tackle role for the Silver & Black, the Raiders again have an open competition to see who earns the opportunity to settle in at one-technique on the interior defensive line when the team deploys a four-man front.

Las Vegas isn’t short on contenders, however. And that wide open competition that’ll continue through OTAs, training camp and preseason means a door is open.
