    Is the Raiders’ most pressing need as obvious as we thought?

    Online Niel Posted on

    The Las Vegas Raiders have a lot of issues that need to be addressed during the upcoming offseason. None is more significant than the instability at quarterback in recent seasons.

    The Raiders have tried several quarterbacks over the past two seasons, but none have been able to consistently produce. While there are many reasons why that was the case, the lack of talent at the quarterback position was also an issue.

    Las Vegas is in prime position to select one of the top quarterbacks in the draft. However, some believe the Raiders may already have their eyes on the quarterback they plan to draft.

    ESPN’s Aaron Schatz agrees with everyone who can that the Raiders need a talented quarterback on their roster if they hope to compete in the future. This Raiders team could be significantly better with better health and marginally better play from the quarterback position.

    Schatz noted that the Raiders’ hopes for the future will ride on them securing one of the top picks and then selecting the right quarterback.

    “In theory, sure, the Raiders could enter 2025 with Gardner Minshew (38.5 QBR) and Aidan O’Connell (48.0 QBR) competing for the job again. But should it? Not if they want to be a competitor,” Schatz said.

    The Raiders are in a division with four quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, all of whom have arguably the worst group of quarterbacks in the National Football League.

    ESPN’s Matt Miller believes the Raiders will solve that problem by selecting one of the most promising quarterbacks in the draft. He predicts the Raiders will draft a quarterback with ties to new co-owner Tom Brady.

    Las Vegas must make the most of opportunity current subpar season will showcase them in the upcoming NFL draft. At this point, it is known that the Raiders will select a quarterback.

    However, it’s the NFL and no draft pick is a lock for success in the league. The Raiders have to think hard about who to select at quarterback. Picking wrong could set the franchise back a decade, but picking the right quarterback can instantly change the team and the franchise in a lasting way.
