OC Luke Getsy said of his offensive scheme, "Yeah, that was a part of it. I think there was a part of the interview where we sat and we all watched that game and we talked about the whys in what we were doing and how we were doing it. And I think all that stuff resonated with them, and I think they kind of talked about how we kind of exposed a few things that helped them turn into the defense that they turned into. I think the success that we had here last year from that point on was a little bit because of that, and we had some success and we had the young kid playing quarterback. So that element of it too was a different dynamic, having a new guy come in and playing the game just a little bit different as well."

New  Silver and Black GM Tom Telesco said of his relationship with Coach Antonio Pierce, "Yeah, it's been really cool, and it was it was nice having the Super Bowl in town, so I got to spend a little bit more time with him. What I thought was really, really neat with him was watching him go through the process of hiring assistant coaches, because I've been through that process before and sometimes it gets a little bit hectic. Sometimes you do some moves a little bit too quickly where you might hire a good coach but maybe it doesn't necessarily fit maybe the vision or philosophy you're looking for. And he really took his time. He talked to a lot of people, did a lot of research, took in a lot of opinions, and put his staff in and took his time doing it. I mean really we didn't fill the staff until probably last week, I think we filled it right there. But to see him work through that process. I'm like you can say he is a first-time head coach, but man he handled that like a pro to me. So, I thought that was just a great sign to see."

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.
