With their final scheduled pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders have selected Arizona State DT Nesta Jade Silvera at pick No. 231.
Silvera is a 6’2, 304-pound defensive tackle who played at Miami (FL) and then Arizona State. He has appeared in 53 games but has only totaled 3.5 career sacks. His best work comes as a nose tackle, but he can also play as a one-technique in a 4-3 defense.
The Raiders have a ton of depth at defensive tackle, but not a lot of proven names. Silvera should have a chance to compete for a roster spot as a rookie.
