There’s merit to the notion that since a new general manager didn’t have a hand in making selections in the drafts that preceded them, its easy for the new personnel lead to have no connection to said prospects.
That can be the case for Las Vegas Raiders general manager Tom Telesco.
He had no hand in the 2023 and 2022 Silver & Black draft classes as he was the personnel lead for the Los Angeles Chargers while Dave Ziegler was the GM in Las Vegas.
While he may not have any prior connected to the Raiders draft selections he inherits, he’s now closely vested in their progress and status as members of the roster.
