Position of need, best player available or both with the No. 13 pick?

It’s also hard to automatically rule out the Raiders drafting a quarterback even if they don’t trade up. Viable options at No. 13 are Heisman Trophy finalists Michael Penix and Bo Nix, who both had standout seasons in the Pac-12.

Penix lead the nation in passing yards (4,903) in 2023 and totaled 67 touchdowns in his two seasons at Washington. Nix, the reigning Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Year, had a 45:3 touchdown to interception ratio while leading the nation in completion percentage (77.4)

Both of these quarterbacks, along with Murphy, Newton and Fuaga, were extended invitations to the NFL Scouting Combine next week in Indianapolis, Indiana, where all 32 teams will be able to get a closer look at the draft class.
