Las Vegas Raiders 2023 NFL Draft Picks

It was a rough year for the Las Vegas Raiders as they went 6-11 and missed the playoffs.

The Raiders quickly decided to make a splash this offseason by signing quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and are now looking toward the 2023 NFL Draft for more upgrades. Here’s what you need to know about the Las Vegas Raiders’ draft picks in 2023.

List of Las Vegas Raiders Draft Picks in the 2023 Draft

The Raiders start the draft with the No. 7 overall pick. The team has 12 picks in 2023.

Here’s a complete list of the picks for the Raiders in the NFL Draft.

– 1st Round: 7th overall

– 2nd Round: 38th overall

– 3rd Round: 70th overall

– 3rd Round: 100th overall (compensation pick)

– 4th Round: 109th overall

– 5th Round: 141st overall

– 5th Round: 144th overall (from Atlanta Falcons)

– 5th Round: 174th overall (compensation pick)

– 6th Round: 204th overall (from Dallas Cowboys)

– 6th Round: 214th overall (compensation pick)

– 7th Round: 220th overall (from Arizona Cardinals)

– 7th Round: 231st overall (from New England Patriots)

Several trades have given the Raiders four extra picks in the draft. On top of that, they are receiving three compensatory picks in the 2023 draft, so the franchise has plenty of picks to work with at the end of April.

The seventh overall pick will be their highest first-round pick since 2019 when they were still located in Oakland. They didn’t have a first-round selection in 2022 because of the deal for Davante Adams. He had over 1,500 yards receiving and played in all 17 games last season – showing why he remains one of the best players in the league.

Latest Raiders Mock Draft and Team Needs

The latest mock drafts show the silver and black going defense. Options include defensive lineman Jalen Carter from Georgia or edge rusher Tyree Wilson from Texas Tech.

The team has added offensive players in WR Phillip Dorsett and Jakobi Meyers. They also are giving their secondary a boost by signing safety Marcus Epps. They will likely still add some more depth in the secondary after losing cornerback Rock Ya-Sin to free agency.

Finally, there will be a need to beef up the offensive. The team signed an injury-prone quarterback in Garoppolo, so they will want to protect him as much as possible. The team has plenty of work to do if it wants to reach a Super Bowl. They haven’t played in the NFL finale since 2003.

The second and third rounds will follow on April 28th at 7 p.m. ET, with the final rounds scheduled for April 29th, beginning at noon ET. Football fans can expect an exhilarating experience as teams make their picks and welcome new talent to their rosters.
