With the NFL Draft just around the corner, speculations and theories about last-minute trades are still circulating. Sources close to the Las Vegas Raiders organization suggest that Jayden Daniels would be a suitable addition to the team, particularly since head coach Josh McDaniels previously worked with Daniels at Arkansas. The quarterback’s representatives have expressed mutual interest, and the Raiders appear eager to acquire him. Однако, Daniels is projected to be selected second overall by the Houston Texans, and the Raiders would have to trade significantly higher to secure him. Given that the Raiders are likely to select an offensive lineman in the first round and focus on drafting a quarterback in the second round, it remains uncertain if they will make a move for Daniels.
Moving on to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who hold the third overall pick, many speculate that they will select either C.J. Stroud or Bryce Young as their franchise quarterback. Another rumor suggests that the Tennessee Titans may trade up to draft a quarterback of their own, although this remains a controversial decision.
The only seemingly certain selection at number one overall is Bryce Young to the Houston Texans. The Texans have made no secret of their desire for a franchise quarterback who can have an immediate impact on the field and compete in the AFC South in 2024 and beyond. Young fits that mold, but it is unlikely that the Raiders will be able to trade up to acquire him.
There have also been reports of interest in quarterback Anthony Richardson by the New York Jets, but it is uncertain whether he will still be available when they pick at number 13. Nonetheless, it would not be surprising if the Jets trade back after their first-round selection to secure their future signal caller.
