Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2023 draft class fared in a 33-16 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11 and what it means looking ahead to Sunday’s home game against the Cleveland Browns.
Tyree Wilson:
The No. 7 overall draft pick played 43 percent of the snaps (he averages 44 percent) and had three tackles including a quarterback hit. Thus, he was his typical so-so self.
Michael Mayer:
The second-round pick played 76 percent of the snaps up from his average of 61 percent. He had three catches on four targets for 13 yards. It’s time for Mayer to start making a bigger impact on the stat line.

Tre Tucker:
The speedy third-round pick has played starter snaps all season. Yet, in the past two games, Tucker became the team’s No. 1 wide receiver with Jakobi Meyer traded to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tucker has six catches for 75 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets since the Meyers trade. Tucker’s production has gone up and down his entire career. It’s time for him to produce on a more consistent basis.
Aidan O’Connell:
The reserve quarterback was activated to the 53-man roster on Wednesday for the first time this season. The fourth-round pick broke his wrist in the final preseason game. It will be interesting to see if he or Kenny Pickett will be the backup to Geno Smith against Cleveland.
Chris Smith:
The fifth-round safety from Georgia was inactive after being a core special teamer and the he was waived on Tuesday. Lonnie Johnson’s return to health hurt Smith. Wednesday, he was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Rams and he is now on their 53-man roster.
