Raiders rookie watch: Still not a lot of progress from the 2023 class

Let’s look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ rookie class did in a 17-13 Week 5 home victory over the Green Bay Packers on Monday night as they prepare for a home game against the New England Patriots.

Five of the team’s nine draft picks were inactive for the game after a season-low two were inactive in Week 4. Monday’s rookie inactives were fourth-round pick, cornerback Jakorian Bennett, fourth-round pick, quarterback Aidan O’Connell, fifth-round pick, safety Christopher Smith, sixth-round pick, linebacker Amari Burney and seventh-round pick, defensive tackle Nesta Jade Silvera.

Bennett was injured and the other four rookie inactive players were all coach’s decisions.
