Silver And Black Pride

● By Matt Holder
Heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, cases could be made for scenarios where the Las Vegas Raiders trade up or down during the first round. The Raiders need a quarterback but they’ll likely strike out on one of the top four, and maybe even top five, QBs with the 13th overall pick unless they get aggressive and move up. However, if Las Vegas can’t get a deal done or gets outbid, then going in the opposite direction and acquiring more draft capital wouldn’t be a bad idea. So, using Pro Football Focus’ mock draft simulator, let’s take a look at how Las Vegas’ draft hauls would differ in those scenarios. Both drafts below will include a brief explanation and assessment of how well the team’s needs have been filled. Also, you can vote for your preference between the two in the poll at the bottom.
