Let\u2019s review how the Las Vegas Raiders\u2019 2024 drat class fared in the 2025 season:<\/p>\n
The star first-round pick missed five games due to a Week 1 knee injury. He ended up with 64 catches for 680 yards and seven touchdowns. As a rookie, of course, Bowers, broke basically every rookie receiving record as he finished with 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns in all 17 games. So, he averaged 5.3 catches a game for 56.6 yards a game in 2025 compared to 6.5 grabs for 70.2 yards a game as a rookie. With his injury, those dips aren\u2019t a big concern and he will can easily rise in those areas. However, whoever is running the Raiders\u2019 offense in 2o26, they will need to get Bowers more involved. He was targeted 7.1 times in 2025 after being targeted nine times a game by the previous staff as a rookie. That trend needs to go up.<\/p>\n
It was an odd, to say, the least, season for the second-round pick. He was expected to be the center all throughout the offseason. But when the offseason began, he almost immediately was replaced by Jordan Meredith and moved to guard. The Raiders\u2019 staff didn\u2019t seem to trust Powers-Johnson, but he did settle into a starting guard job. He had his up-and-down before seeing his season end in Week 10 with ankle injury at Denver. Jackson-Powers can still be a good player. Getting him back on track has to be a priority for the new staff.<\/p>\n
The third-round pick\u2019s up-and-down season continued.<\/p>\n
The fourth-round pick played his first 13 snaps on defense this season. He played 70 percent of the defensive snaps in the final 12 games of the season. His fate is in the hands of the new staff. He could get another chance or he could be cut before the season<\/p>\n
