Raiders draft Dylan Laube: Best reactions to Round 6 pick image

The Las Vegas Raiders made their sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft when they selected running back Dylan Laube out of New Hampshire at No. 208 overall.

Las Vegas didn't have a major need at the running back position going into this draft, but they could use more bodies for competition moving forward. Laube gives them another depth option behind starter Zamir White and top backup Alexander Mattison.

Here's more on Laube, per the scouting report of Lance Zierlein of NFL.com:

Do-it-all small-school prospect with versatility and production that could create a roster advantage for him in the future. Laube's pro potential will likely be tied to how a team uses him. While he can be an efficient zone-scheme runner, he lacks the sudden burst and elusiveness needed as a pro. However, he's a very capable pass-catcher with the ability to run a variety of routes out of the backfield or from the slot. While Laube won't blow NFL teams away as a runner, his potential to return kicks and compete for a role on third downs should give him a leg up in a battle for a roster spot.

And the reaction:

After this selection, the Raiders have two more picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, with both coming in the seventh round (Nos. 223 and 229).
