Raiders 

Vic Tafur of The Athletic takes a look at the Raiders’ approach to free agency and its depth chart ahead of the 2025 NFL Draft. 

• At quarterback, Tafur writes Las Vegas is expected to draft a quarterback to compete with Aidan O’Connell and learn from Geno Smith.  
• With Raheem Mostert currently slated to be the Raiders’ starting running back, Tafur points out they should be able to find a starter in the second or third round. He names Ohio State’s TreVeyon Henderson as someone to keep an eye on based on his experience under OC Chip Kelly. 
• Tafur writes it’s important for Las Vegas to find a veteran receiver given it’s not a deep draft class at the position and Jakobi Meyers is currently their No. 1 option. 
• At tight end, Tafur thinks the Raiders need to add a blocking tight end after veteran Harrison Bryant signed with the Eagles. 
• Along the Raiders’ offensive line, Tafur feels they will ideally bring in competition for RT DJ Glaze.
• Tafur believes Las Vegas could create “one of the top defensive lines in the league” by drafting another interior lineman. 
• At cornerback, Tafur writes they could use another option given Jack Jones may be “a bit undersized” to HC Pete Caroll‘s preferences. 
• BYU OT Caleb Etienne met with the Raiders at the Big 12 pro day. (Justin Melo)
• Michigan CB Will Johnson has an official 30 visit scheduled with the Raiders. (Dave Birkett)
• Notre Dame CB Benjamin Morrison will also take an official 30 visit with the Raiders. (Tristen Kuhn)
• Cal LB Teddye Buchanan met with the Raiders in the leadup to his pro day. (Tony Pauline)
• The Raiders hired Ryan Paganetti to the coaching staff as Head Coach Research Specialist. (Seth Walder)
