Raiders agree to terms with undrafted free agents

Raiders 2024 NFL Draft takeaways: Antonio Pierce’s culture shines through in this class ⤵️ theathletic.com/5442345/2024/0…

Former South Alabama QB Carter Bradley — the son of longtime NFL coach Gus Bradley — is signing with the #Raiders , per source.

Telesco felt a little bad because when he is telling new players they were picked, his mind wanders to who next pick might be. 'You forget that the kid on the other end is getting a call that's changing his life.
'It was cool to hear the emotion from these guys come through.'

Telesco said Woodhead and Ekeler comps might work for Laube because the other guys made an impact on special teams first.
Raiders are going to try different styles of returners with the new rules and see what works.

Telesco said the #Raiders attempted to trade up in the 2nd and 4th rounds.

Telesco runs into players working out at the facility, and was impressed watching RT Thayer Munford running sprints. 'We haven't forgotten about him. You don't see many big guys move like he does, and that's very exciting.'

Telesco happy that Raiders added players 'who fit our identity' and that they were able to boost their depth today.

Telesco said they targeted speed in 4th round, regardless of positon, and were excited to get Richardson. Has work to do as a CB but can make instant impact on special teams -- like Laube.

Telesco said Raiders never thought about drafting a QB today or yesterday.

The #Raiders draft Air Force S Trey Taylor with pick No. 223. He was ranked No. 285 on Dane Brugler's big board. He's 6-foot, 206 pounds and was a three-year starter in college.

Nice nugget from Brugler: Taylor is Ed Reed's cousin.

RB Dylan Laube said 'I can't wait to get to camp, to get to Vegas, to win games and win a Super Bowl. I am so freakin' excited.'

So ... don't run him between the tackles

Laube averaged nearly 1,500 all-purpose yards over four campaigns, scoring 46 total touchdowns -- 4 on kick returns.

Who's cutting onions? 🥹

Eichenberg said he couldn't have picked a better team that fits his playing style.

True. Pierce and the staff did a great job with him. Maybe they see similarities here. We'll ask ...
