The 2023 NFL Draft will be the first time second-year Las Vegas Raiders general manager David Ziegler picks in the first or second round. Last year, those rounds were not available to the Raiders due to the Davante Adams trade, a massive haul for a player who would go on to set the franchise single-season receiving yards record. Now, with the No. 7 overall pick in his hands, and four of the first 100 selections, Ziegler goes into draft season loaded with draft capital. The Raiders still have a ton of work to do with the roster, despite a flurry of moves earlier this week, but the 2023 NFL Draft will be a make-or-break scenario for Ziegler and his staff. The Raiders moved on from Derek Carr this offseason, and need a franchise quarterback, but one may not be available at pick No. 7. Instead, Ziegler makes moves down the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, trading twice in the first round, and still landing an elite player at a position of need.
