The Las Vegas Raiders are in a fascinating spot heading into the 2023 NFL draft. During free agency, they signed several former New England Patriots players, including quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and wide receiver Jakobi Meyers, to reunite with head coach Josh McDaniels.
In the eyes of one executive from another team, those free-agent moves won't move the needle for the Raiders in 2023.
"They want familiarity, but they have downgraded in every way," the exec told The Athletic's Mike Sando.
Since the Raiders hired McDaniels in January 2022, they have been one of the NFL's most active teams in free agency and on the trade market.
