Right now, the Raiders seem very keen on drafting a quarterback this year but they don’t pick until No. 13 in the first-round. If the team wants one of the top quarterbacks, they will need to trade up. Owner Mark Davis typically likes to remain hands-off but trading up for a quarterback could have long-term ramifications for the franchise.

According to ESPN’s Paul Gutierrez, Davis is open to whatever general manager Tom Telesco and head coach Antonio Pierce think is best.

“Sources say Raiders owner Mark Davis has given his blessing for Telesco and Pierce to make a move, any move … so long as it makes sense,” Gutierrez wrote in an April 10 column.

Trading up into the top-three for a quarterback will likely cost three or more picks so there is a major risk in making that type of move. Selecting the wrong quarterback in this scenario could set the team back a few years. Regardless, it sounds like he trusts Telesco and Pierce to make the right decision.

The Raiders can’t trade up just to trade up. They have to do it if they have a quarterback they really want. The obvious player the team could be eyeing is former LSU quarterback and 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels.
