Originally posted on Dice City Sports | By Mark Hebert | Last updated Feb 8, 2026 9:51 AM ET

Seventy-four days remain until the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh, Pa., April 23-25, 2026. After a 3-14 season in 2025, the Las Vegas Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick as this daily countdown continues through the franchise’s best players by jersey number.

Today, February 8, the number is 74.

Kolton Miller, No. 74

Kolton Miller is the pick for No. 74 because he has been the Raiders steadiest tackle of the Las Vegas era. He has held down the edge through coaching changes and quarterback turnover.

Miller has played 113 games for the Raiders and started 111. Even with an injury-limited 2025, he remains the clear standard for this number right now.

Why Miller gets No. 74

This is a number without a deep list of long-term starters. Because of that, availability and consistency matter more here.

Miller has provided both. He has been a weekly starter when healthy, and he has logged more starts than anyone else tied to No. 74 in this group.

Draft and background

Miller was born Sept. 2, 1995, in Redwood City, Calif. He played at Roseville High School in California before starring at UCLA.

Then the Oakland Raiders drafted him in the first round, 15th overall, in 2018. He has spent his entire NFL career with the franchise.

Other notable No. 74s

Tom Keating, 1966-1972
Nolan Harrison, 1991-1996
Dave Rowe, 1975-1978
Matt Stinchcomb, 2000-2003
Cornell Green, 2007-2009

Career check

Miller is still active, but the resume already stacks up for this number. With 111 starts in 113 games, No. 74 belongs to him.

Next up tomorrow: No. 73.
