raiders grab promising qb generational defensive prospect in 3 msn

The Las Vegas Raiders have gone through a metamorphosis throughout one big offseason. After Tom Brady took over a minority ownership stake in the team, the Raiders have been hard at work to improve the roster, starting with the quarterback position. A blockbuster trade to acquire Geno Smith has given them a very reliable name behind center. And the appointment of Pete Carroll as the new head coach should bring the franchise some stability. However, one analyst wants them to also consider their long-term future. The trade for Smith was a complete success for Las Vegas, giving them the 15th-ranked quarterback last season, according to PFSN’s QB+ metric, after their starters last season ranked 20th (Aidan O’Connell) and 35th...

However, at 35, it might not be long before the Raiders have to go hunting for a quarterback. As a result, the latest mock draft from PFSN for the 2026 NFL Draft has them adding Arch Manning out of Texas. The latest incarnation of the Manning family dynasty, he is set to take over as the starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns this season with a chance to make it to the NFL next... He is, without a doubt, one of the most hyped athletes in the entire collegiate circuit. With a little over a month left until the new league year starts, the football world is collectively holding its breath to see how the offseason shakes out. One of the biggest decisions that will be answered early is what the Minnesota Vikings intend to do at the quarterback position.

Sam Darnold was a revelation last season, but his final two games against the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams left much to be desired. The team also drafted J.J. McCarthy with the 10th overall pick in the 2024 draft, but a torn meniscus ended his rookie season before it even began. As such, the Vikings are forced to make a decision between re-signing a quarterback who performed better than anticipated, or sticking with their guns and rolling with McCarthy and possibly Daniel Jones. Whatever path the Vikings take will carry heavy implication for the rest of the offseason, with the Las Vegas Raiders among the teams most affected. With the Raiders continuing their free fall this season, they appear like a sure bet for one of the top picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.

With still six games left in the 2024 NFL season, PFF has already put out a three-round NFL mock draft with the Raiders (finally) addressing their need at QB as well as adding talent... 2. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS: QB SHEDEUR SANDERS, COLORADO Though quarterback Aidan O’Connell managed to get the Raiders in range for an upset in Kansas City this week, all indications point toward the team selecting a quarterback in the 2025 NFL Draft. Sanders stands out as the most pro-ready quarterback in this class, earning high passing grades in each of the last two seasons and excelling under pressure with one of the highest passing grades in... While his arm strength might not be elite, Sanders is a polished passer the Raiders can put their faith in.

34. LAS VEGAS RAIDERS: RB OMARION HAMPTON, NORTH CAROLINA Hampton is the second running back off the board in this mock draft behind only Boise State's Ashton Jeanty selected at 13 overall by the Cowboys.
