HENDERSON, Nev. -- Yes, Tom Telesco has a certain philosophy when it comes to the NFL draft.
And while the new Las Vegas Raiders general manager is not about to do a deep dive for outsiders and explain what it is, exactly, it has borne fruit. Especially in the early rounds when he was the Chargers' general manager from 2013 to 2023. Paging the likes of first-rounders such as running back Melvin Gordon III (2015), defensive end Joey Bosa (2016), safety Derwin James Jr. (2018), quarterback Justin Herbert (2020) and offensive tackle Rashawn Slater (2021).
