Raiders may draft QB Shedeur Sanders at No. 6

sportingnews.com

The Las Vegas Raiders are preparing for the upcoming NFL Draft, and their strategy is drawing attention. After trading for quarterback Geno Smith, some believe the team should focus on building their roster rather than selecting a new quarterback. They have also brought in Pete Carroll as their new head coach, indicating a desire for quick improvement. Analyst Bill Barnwell from ESPN suggested that the Raiders might trade down from their No. 6 pick in the draft. He mentioned that if the team likes quarterback Shedeur Sanders, they might consider taking him. However, trading back could help them acquire more young players, which is essential for both short and long-term planning. Shedeur Sanders, son of NFL legend Deion Sanders, could be an interesting option if he's available. If the Raiders draft him, he could learn behind Geno Smith for a year or two. However, there are concerns that Sanders may want to start right away, especially with his father's influence as his college coach. The Raiders will need to weigh these factors as they make their decisions in the draft.
