Geno Smith, Tre Tucker need to find connection

Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2024 draft class fared in a 24-10 home loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 12 and what it means looking ahead to Sunday’s road game at the Los Angeles Chargers:

Tyree Wilson:

The No. 7 overall draft pick played just 33 percent of the snaps (he averages 43 percent) and he had one tackle. He did have a few decent pressures. Overall, Wilson didn’t make a big impact as usual.

Michael Mayer:

He only played 13 snaps before leaving with an ankle injury. The second-round pick had one catch for 14 yards on one target. His health will be monitored moving forward.

Tre Tucker:

The speedy third-round pick played 95 percent of the game. He was targeted on 10 of Geno Smith’s 44 passes. Yet, Tucker had just three catches for 28 yards. Smith missed a wide-open Tucker twice on deep passes and Tucker also missed some plays. Moving forward under interim offensive coordinator Greg Olson Smith and Tucker need to find some consistency.

Aidan O’Connell:

The reserve quarterback was on the 53-man roster for the first time after recovering from a preseason wrist injury. He was the emergency quarterback behind Smith and Kenny Pickett against the Browns. He will have a chance to bypass Pickett as the backup if he performs well in practices.
