2024 Las Vegas Raiders Same Position Re-Draft

The first class for general manager Tom Telesco and head coach Antonio Pierce, would turn out to be their only draft at the helm of the Raiders as well. The class has started to build rather deep roots for the Raiders, with good talent in the first three rounds and a few picks later on, but the Raiders could improve on a couple spots.

A fun idea I had was a re-draft, but not any re-draft that just picks the best player, I wanted to re-draft the Raiders for 2020 but use the same positions at each selection. For example in 2019 at 4th overall, while I would desperately want to take a defensive tackle, the Raiders selected EDGE Clelin Ferrell and thus they’ll stick at EDGE. A few rules:

• Any player can be selected, but only one’s who were available with that pick to start with, for example a busted first round pick, who still produced but not at a first round value I can’t take in round 3 or 4
• I MUST take a player at the same position that was taken at that selection (QB for QB, RB for RB, etc)
• The overall selections remain the same, I won’t assume a trade does or doesn’t happen

I plan to do a redraft for 2019 to 2025 re-draft and then my own personal “what I would do” 2026 re-draft so keep an eye on those.

Round 1, 13th Overall: TE Brock Bowers (original pick)
Original Pick: TE Brock Bowers

• The 2x Pro Bowler, All-Pro has 1874 yards, 176 receptions, 12 touchdowns, and an average of 10.6 yards per catch in his NFL career despite missing 5 games in 2025, while also dealing with lower snap counts due to an MCL sprain. Bowers has the ability to potentially be among the best tight ends in NFL history when his career is done.

Round 2, 44th Overall: IOL Zach Frazier (51st overall)
Original Pick: IOL Jackson Powers-Johnson

• Before I get eggs thrown at me, hear me out. I really really do like Powers-Johnson and I think there’s a very good shot he can become a long term starter for the Raiders for the next 5+ years. He has been impacted by coaching through a part of his career, but Powers-Johnson has also dealt with injuries that certainly can leave cause for concern on his future NFL career. This pick came down to Powers-Johnson, Zach Frazier, Cooper Beebe, Mason McCormick, and Tanor Bortolini. I ruled out Bortolini & Beebe early and then settled on Frazier (Mason McCormick is an absolute stud though, and really was one I considered heavily).

  Powers-Johnson has allowed 4 sacks, 6 hits, and 38 pressures with a 4.8% pressure rate across his 843 pass blocking snaps in his career. Additionally, Powers-Johnson has split time at center, and both guard spots but remained a quality run blocker at 4.2 yards per carry lead blocking. Frazier has allowed 2 sacks, 6 hits, and...
