Two Las Vegas Natives at the Tight End Position in This Year's Draft

The Las Vegas Raiders are going to have a very different looking tight end room this season.

While the club does have some depth at the position, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Raiders expand the competition in that department with one or more of their 12 picks in the upcoming draft.

Among the top tight end prospects available in this year's draft are Utah's Dalton Kincaid and Georgia's Darnell Washington, two natives of the Las Vegas area.

"Two good football players," Raiders General Manager Dave Ziegler said when he addressed the media on Friday. "Again, two local people who went to good football programs, and had success at two good football programs. To go to Georgia and go to Utah and earn starting roles and be highly productive players at those two schools, says a lot about those two players. Different styles of players, obviously Darnell is much bigger, longer and has size to kind of be a force in line as a point of attack blocker, and he also has size and length as a receiver. And I'd say Dalton, obviously his strength has been in the passing game and he has been really productive as a route runner and being able to get open at different levels of the field, and he's still developing as a run blocker. They didn't ask them to run block a lot, but he has a willingness to do that. And so, two impressive kids who have had great college careers and look like they have a chance of being really productive NFL players also.”
