Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2o23 draft class has fared this season as they have returned from the bye:

Tyree Wilson:

The No. 7 overall draft pick has played 46 percent of the snaps this season after playing 50 percent last season and 43 as a rookie. He has 13 tackles and two sacks. He has flashed some. But as always, consistency has been an issue. Some games he shows up and others he doesn’t. Unless there is a major change soon, Wilson will likely not have his fifth-year option exercised next spring, making the former No. 7 overall pick a free agent after 2026.

Michael Mayer:

The second-round pick from Notre Dame has 12 catches for 107 yards and one touchdowns in five games. He missed tow games due to a concussion. With Mayer and starter Brock Bowers healthy, they both must be keys to a revival for the Las Vegas offense.

Tre Tucker:

The speedy third-round pick is a starter and he is having a solid season with 29 catches for 389 yards and four touchdowns. So, he’s putting together a respectable season. While he produces in some games more than others, Tucker does have a solid role in this offense.

Chris Smith:

The fifth-round safety from Georgia has played just three snaps on defense. He is strictly a special teamer.
