Raiders select Arizona State DT Nesta Jade Silvera at No. 231

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.
