Las Vegas Raiders basic supervisor Tom Telesco and head coach Antonio Pierce have lots of freedom in their look for the group’s next beginning quarterback.
Group owner Mark Davis “has actually offered his true blessing for Telesco and Pierce to make a relocation, any relocation … so long as it makes good sense,” ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez reported.
The Raiders hold the No. 13 choice in the 2024 draft however will require to trade as much as snag any of the leading quarterback potential customers on April 25.
The Raiders have actually been “greatly connected” with LSU’s Jayden Daniels, who is forecasted by the B/R NFL Scouting Department as the No. 3 choice.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported last month that the Raiders “have actually had exploratory talks on going up into the leading 3.”
Even if the Raiders quit on their pursuit of Daniels, preparing an NFL-ready quarterback might require a go up the draft board.
There is a “strong expectation” that 4 quarterback potential customers might be taken in the leading 6 choices, NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah reported in March.
That mix would consist of Daniels in addition to USC’s Caleb Williams and UNC’s Drake Maye, plus another alternative like Michigan’s J.J. McCarthy, Oregon’s Bo Nix or Washington’s Michael Penix Jr.
The Raiders’choice might depend upon McCarthy and “whether it specifies where the previous Michigan QB will not make it to No. 13 (which is definitely possible),” Breer composed in March.
McCarthy’s draft stock has actually just climbed up ever since thanks to a strong efficiency at Michigan’s Pro Day and appreciation from brand-new Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh. B/R scouts task McCarthy choosing the No. 11 choice.
Telesco and Pierce will require to choose if the Raiders want to quit possibly important properties to snag among the leading readily available signal-callers, or if they’re comfy sticking to Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew heading into next season.
