The\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders\u00a0is finally taking shape following the NFL Draft. The team was quiet in free agency prior to the draft but added nine players in the draft and signed\u00a0another 17 undrafted free agents.<\/p>\n

\"Raiders<\/p>\n

The roster is filling up so some players who were on the roster are going to get cut. The first casualty is safety Tyreque Jones. The Raiders announced that they\u2019ve cut Jones in an\u00a0April 29 X post.<\/p>\n

\n
We have waived S Tyreque Jones.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n

Jones had only recently joined the team this offseason on a Reserve\/Futures contract. He originally came into the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Boise State. He also spent time with the\u00a0Tennesee Titans,\u00a0New York Jets\u00a0and\u00a0Indianapolis Colts\u00a0before landing in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Jones has good size at 6-foot-2 but has yet to take a snap in an NFL game. He\u2019s now heading back to free agency and will have to search for his next landing spot. The Raiders added a few defensive backs in the draft and free agency so it\u2019s unlikely they\u2019ll consider bringing Jones back.<\/p>\n

Trey Taylor Is Intriguing Prospect<\/h2>\n

One of the most interesting Day 3 picks the Raiders made was taking Air Force safety Trey Taylor in the seventh round. He won the Jim Thorpe Award in 2023, which is given to college football\u2019s best defensive back. He\u2019s also a cousin of NFL Hall of Famer Ed Reed, who is one of the greatest safeties ever.<\/p>\n

The reason Taylor lasted until the seventh round was likely due to his lack of athleticism. He also didn\u2019t play against elite competition at Air Force. However, he\u2019s a very mature prospect and is ready to put in the work to make an NFL roster.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ability to serve while playing football and while studying at one of the most prestigious schools in America, like you can\u2019t really pass up that opportunity,\u201d\u00a0Taylor said\u00a0during his April 27 media availability. \u201cSo, I\u2019m glad I landed there. And the Academy taught me a lot about myself. It taught me a lot about who I really am, the maturity I have as a person, taught me how to grow, how to spread my wings and made me the person I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n

There won\u2019t be high expectations for a seventh-round pick so Taylor simply making the 53-man roster out of training camp would be a win for him.<\/p>\n

Trey Taylor Has Killer Instinct<\/h2>\n

Taylor is a really good fit for what the Raiders want to do. He wants to hit players hard and isn\u2019t shy about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a killer on the field,\u201d Taylor said. \u201cI have a different instinct when I get on the field and I brought that from the Academy, and I\u2019m hoping to bring it onto this team. And I feel like there\u2019s a lot of people who have the same mentality on that team. So, definitely ready to go take on that identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Head coach\u00a0Antonio Pierce\u00a0has been stressing aggressiveness with his players. Taylor certainly will fit in well with what Pierce wants to do. He may end up being one of the steals of the draft if he can carve out a role in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
