Silver And Black Pride
Let’s take a look at the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2023 draft class fared in a 30-29 overtime home loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and look ahead to Thursday night’s game at the Denver Broncos:
Tyree Wilson:
The No. 7 overall draft pick played 38 percent of the snaps after playing season high 70 percent in Week 7. Wilson had two tackles. It was another so-so performance for the No. 7 overall draft pick.
Michael Mayer:
Yes, Michael Mayer and Brock Bowers can co-exist. In Bowers’ first game back after missing three games with a knee injury, the Raiders played extensive double-tight end sets. Mayer was on the field for 82 percent of the snaps and Bowers was on the field for 81 percent. Mayer had three catches for 26 yards. He was targeted seven times. It won’t be a surprise if he gets a lot of chances at Denver as well.
Tre Tucker:
The speedy third-round pick played 97 percent of the snaps, but didn’t produce a lot. He had three catches for 37 yards, but came up with a big play late. He was targeted four times, the third lowest of the season.
Chris Smith:
The fifth-round safety from Georgia remained a special-teams factor.
