As the fourth player the Las Vegas Raiders selected in the 2024 NFL Draft, Decamerion Richardson joins Georgie TE Brock Bowers, Oregon OL Jackson Powers-Johnson, and Maryland OL Delmar Glaze at their new NFL home.
Learn more about the Raiders’ previous draft picks below.
Round 1, Pick 13 (13th overall): Brock Bowers, TE Georgia
At 6’4, 240 pounds, Bowers tallied 714 yards and six touchdowns in his junior season. A three-time All-American, three-time first-team All-SEC and two-time John Macket Award (nation’s top TE) winner, Brock Bowers was regarded as the best tight end in the 2024 NFL Draft class.
Regarded for his versatile skills as both a route runner and threat downfield, along with an exceptional pass and run blocker, Brock Bowers joins Michael Mayer in the Raiders’ tight end room. They traded up in the 2023 NFL Draft to select Mayer at 35th overall.
Round 2, Pick 12 (44th overall): Jackson Powers-Johnson, OL Oregon
In 2023, Jackson Powers-Johnson won the Rimington Trophy (nation’s top center), first-team All-Pac-12 Conference, and first-team Associated Press All-American. Powers-Johnson also was a Joe Moore Award (nation’s top OL) finalist after starting 13 games last season.
Having played multiple positions on the offensive line (and some defensive) throughout his three seasons with the Ducks, he could help bolster the Raiders’ offensive line.
Round 3, Pick 13 (77th overall): Delmar Glaze, OL Maryland
The second offensive line selection for the Raiders of the night, Glaze measured at 6’4, 315 pounds.
Delmar Glaze emerged in 2022, his junior season at Maryland, starting all 13 games and earning an honorable mention for the All-Big Ten Conference team. Last season, he continued his upward trajectory, earning Third-team All-Big Ten Conference honors.
The Las Vegas Raiders still control picks 112, 148, 208, 223, and 229 in the 2024 Draft.
