Autumn Bonner from Iowa asks:
“Could the Raiders take best player available in Round 1 then trade up into bottom of the first for a QB?”
This wouldn’t be a bad plan by any means.
While Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye are deemed the top quarterbacks in the class, it’s a pretty deep position group. Several top quarterback options could still be available near the end of the first round including Heisman Trophy finalists Michael Penix and Bo Nix. If the Raiders are sold on one of these two, but believe they’ll be drafted before their next pick in the second round (No. 44), trading back into the first round or simply selecting them with the No. 13 pick are two options on the table.
As for who the best player available would be at No. 13, that’s yet to be determined. It really just depends on who the Raiders desire on their draft board and how the dice rolls leading into their pick. Antonio Pierce was reportedly present at UCLA and Alabama’s Pro Days, the respective schools of edge rusher Laiatu Latu and cornerback Terrion Arnold – two viable options with the 13th pick.
