It would be easy to write off 2024 as a wasted season for the Las Vegas Raiders.
Their 4-12 record leaves them on the outside looking in for the top quarterback prospects. They will have serious questions in terms of roster construction and coaching this offseason.
While the season left plenty to be desired, it was also not a total bust. General manager Tom Telesco’s first draft class has netted the Raiders three or four long-term starters, including Pro Bowl tight end Brock Bowers.
Even more impressive has been the defense rounding into form to close out the year.
