The Las Vegas Raiders are approaching the 2024 NFL Draft next week, and excitement in the Raider Nation is at an all-time high for this offseason.

With Tom Telesco's first NFL Draft as the General Manager of the Silver and Black, today we look at three reasonable expectations for what the fans can expect next week.

No. 1 No Reaching Early-Tom Telesco must not succumb to the pressure of needing to make a big splash. The Las Vegas Raiders have been crushed in the past with poor NFL Drafting, leading to massive swings and misses and languishing in the mediocrity of the last twenty years.

No. 2 No Fear-in the atmosphere of taking no reaches early in the 2-24 NFL Draft, that doesn't mean that Telesco needs to be in fear. If he feels conviction for any player at any position, whether pundits or fans call it a reach, he must attack that pick with zero fear.

It is fair to point out risks, and it is essential to avoid them; good teams do, but good teams also approach the selection process with zero fear when accumulating talent for their roster.

No.3 Balance term, unexplained, could be interpreted fairly differently than what it is. Essentially, balance in the NFL Draft is knowing the team's long-term vision and staying true to the current and future.

Only Telesco knows how he wants the Silver and Black to evolve. He sees the players who may be looking at extensions he believes in and those he does not. He has to keep a keen eye on 2024, but he also has to think about 2027, and that takes discipline and balance.

The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently have the No. 13 overall pick.
