  • The Las Vegas Raiders desperately need to find their next franchise quarterback after striking out with multiple veteran free-agent signings in recent years. One NFL analyst has the team doing just that in the 2025 NFL Draft after making a massive trade up to No.

The article from MSN discusses the Las Vegas Raiders' potential strategy in the upcoming NFL Draft, predicting that they might trade up to secure a quarterback. Specifically, it mentions that the Raiders could be interested in Michael Penix Jr., a quarterback from Washington, known for his impressive physical stature at 6-foot-2 and his performance, including 151 touchdown passes in college. The Raiders, having recently traded away their starting quarterback, are in need of a new face for their franchise. The article suggests that the team might make a significant move to draft Penix, who could be seen as a high-upside pick despite concerns about his injury history. This move would be part of a broader strategy to rebuild the team's quarterback position with a player who has shown both potential and productivity in college football.
