They have a new head coach in Antonio Pierce, who is reportedly well-liked by his players, and they still have stars in wide receiver Davante Adams and pass rusher Maxx Crosby as the 2024 offseason progresses.
However, they are in need of a quarterback, and they may be about to add one with the 13th choice in this year’s NFL Draft.
Bo Nix and Michael Penix Jr. will be meeting with the Raiders this week, according to Albert Breer.
This week, the Raiders are hosting quarterback visits. Michael Penix of Washington is scheduled to visit today, while Bo Nix of Oregon will visit Las Vegas tomorrow, according to sources.
Although Penix and Nix aren’t among the top quarterback prospects available in this year’s selection, they are still considered a step below, and there is always a potential that at least one of them may develop into a very excellent player.
Penix finished the season with 4,903 yards and 36 touchdowns passing. He led the Washington Huskies to the College Football Playoff National Championship Game in January, where they were defeated by the University of Michigan.
Nix, on the other hand, led the Ducks in throwing yards with 4,508 yards and 45 passing touchdowns, in addition to six ground touchdowns.
His 2023 completion percentage of 77.4 percent set a new NCAA record, surpassing that of Mac Jones.
There has been speculation that Las Vegas would move up in the draft this year to acquire top talent, such as J.J. McCarthy, Drake Maye, or Jayden Daniels, who are regarded as three of the top four quarterbacks in this year’s class.
