New Las Vegas Raiders General Manager Tom Telesco discussed at the NFL Combine what he gains from that league event and what he doesn't get.

 "A couple things, one for me, I love being around our guys at the combine. When I talk about our guys, like our personnel staff. Especially right now to get to know them better. So, I spent a lot of time just talking football with all the scouts, all the personnel people. I love that part of it because we're with each other all day long. I've been in some different committee meetings the last couple of days, but starting tomorrow I'll be with our guys every day, so that's a big part of it. Next part of that I'm not a part of, but the medical process is huge, we really need that. I'm not part of that at all, but that's the most important part of the combine. And then all the measurable data that we receive, that's very important to me to have. Do I necessarily have to watch it all the time? Not necessarily. I don't need to see somebody get weighed in and see how tall they are. I don't need to see them do a broad jump, but that data to us is very important as we make decisions. So, those are probably the most important things. The interviews are nice, but in the end in a 15- or 20-minute interview there's not a whole lot of new ground that's broken. Our scouts have already done so much background work on the players, so we already have that information. You get a little feel for their personality, but in the end you need to spend more time with the kids than just 15-20 minutes. So, the interview is nice, but it's not a huge part of it for me." 

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.
