Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 draft class (eight of the 10 picks are on the 53-man roster) fared in a 38-33 win at the New York Jetson Sunday and what to look for Sunday at the San Francisco 49ers:
Brock Bowers:
The first-round pick had seven catches for 92 yards and a score. According to Next Gen Stats, six of his catches, for 87 yards, were when hew as lined up as a wide receiver. It’s the most by a tight end in the NFL in 10 years. He is a wild weapon. And, yes, his contract
talks next offseason are going to be very interesting.
Jackson Powers-Johnson:
The second-round pick remained on the bench for the third straight game. He is now a backup and he did warm up at just center Sunday, so he may not even be a guard anymore.
D.J. Glaze:
The third-round pick started at right tackle as usual and performed well.
Tommy Eichenberg:
The fifth-round pick from Ohio State played 22 defensive snaps and had his ups and downs. He also played 26 snaps on special teams, which was tied for the team high.
Dylan Laube:
The sixth-round pick made a huge impact with a 95-yard kick return for a touchdown in the second quarter. The Raiders may have lost the game without it. It was the first kick return for a score in the league this season and the Raiders’ first in 15 years. Laube is, by far, the kickoff leader in the NFL at 34.1 average. He has a 2.8 yard lead over any other returner. Only four players have finished a season wit ha higher average with the most recent coming in 1970.
