We are offering our second full seven-round Las Vegas Raiders mock draft. This one has no trades. I will offer one other full Raiders’ mock this week, that features a huge trade up. We have already done a full mock with no trades this week. Full disclosure: Some players may appear on multiple mocks as we exercise our way up to draft day Thursday:
He was the choice in our no-trade mock and he remains the guy as the Raiders stay at No. 13. Arnold would be an instant starter opposite Jack Jones and make a very solid starting cornerback group with Jones and nickel Nate Hobbs. The Raiders would be strong at cornerback and bolster an already solid defense.
Boom. There’s the quarterback. The price is reasonable, especially since the Raiders could get a third-round pick back next year if defensive coordinator Patrick Graham or assistant general manager Champ Kelly get promotions elsewhere. If Penix is the answer at quarterback, the price doesn’t matter.
The Raiders have been studying Amegadjie and he has big potential. He likely won’t be ready to start this year, but the Raiders can develop him and perhaps he and Penix could grow old together.
Didn’t change much from the no-trade mock. Didn’t feel the need. Accomplished the big move with getting Penix. Thought about moving the fourth-round pick, but think Wingo offers great value. Leaving this draft with Arnold, Penix, Amegadjie and Wingo without giving up a whole lot would translate to a winning draft for Las Vegas.
The Las Vegas Raiders are reportedly interested in making a major trade in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Raiders are looking to improve the roster in Antonio Pierce’s first season as the full-time head coach.
As previously discussed on GH, reports surfaced this week that Pierce wants the Raiders to trade up high into the first round to take one of the top quarterback prospects in the draft. Pierce “desires” former LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels in this draft. Daniels is also interested in a reunion with Pierce.
