The Raiders have added a pass rusher with the seventh overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft.

Texas Tech edge rusher Tyree Wilson is going to Las Vegas.

Wilson is a well-regarded pass rusher, and there was some talk he could go as high as No. 2 overall in this draft. So the Raiders have to be very pleased to get him at No. 7.

The Raiders knew they needed to add to their pass rush after a season in which Maxx Crosby had 12.5 sacks and no one else on the roster even had five sacks. Wilson should help.

  1. Funny as heck watching KC fans cheering for the Raiders draft pick who will be chasing down Pat Mahomes in just 6 months.

  2. They were cheering because RAIDERS passed on Jalen Carter.

    I’m a RAIDERS fan

    I hope they did not mess up.

    I like Tyree Wilson. But Worried Carter becomes a special Pro Bowl DT

    Glad they got Maxx Help.

    Keep drafting D!!

  3. I understand they want to build front to back, but they have nothing at CB and left Gonzalez sitting on the sofa.

  4. They couldn’t take Carter with car accident issue after Ruggs. Can’t take the chance and best press.

    Carter would be Ruggs 2.0 in a place like Vegas. I would have been happy with Gonzalez too.

  6. The Eagles have me the luxury of gambling on Carter. He will have stronger mentorship there than what the Raiders have on their D Line. I personally like the safer pick, myself.

    If the QB is too busy running for his life, he won’t be able to throw to the WRs, and they will get a CB or two in other rounds
