The 2024 season was certainly one to forget for the Las Vegas Raiders, but it was not a complete failure.
Despite former general manager Tom Telesco making some blunders in his lone season at the helm, he did give the Raiders one of their best draft classes in a good bit. First-round tight end Brock Bowers put up historical numbers in his rookie season, while both Day Two selections in center Jackson Powers-Johnson and right tackle D.J. Glaze ended the year as starters. With a young core beginning to emerge in Las Vegas, Telesco deserves at least some form of credit there.
