The\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders\u00a0seem to want to draft\u00a0LSU\u2019s Jayden Daniels\u00a0but that might not be possible. He\u2019s likely to be a top-three pick and the Raiders don\u2019t pick until No. 13.<\/p>\n

\"Jayden<\/p>\n

The team may also be warming up to the idea of waiting until No. 13 to draft a quarterback. According to The Athletic\u2019s Vic Tafur, there is some talk of the Raiders reaching for a quarterback.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whispers are getting louder that the Raiders just might take Washington QB Michael Penix Jr. here (at No. 13),\u201d Tafur wrote in an\u00a0April 15 column. \u201cPenix\u2019s stock has risen since he had clean medicals at the NFL Scouting Combine. He has the best deep ball in the draft but, in our book, is still a bit of a project mechanically to be taken this high. It\u2019s bad value.\u201d<\/p>\n

Penix will likely be available late in the first round or early in the second round, which is why Tafur believes taking him at No. 13 would be bad value. However, if the Raiders think that he can be a franchise quarterback, there\u2019s no sense in risking letting another team take him. The team does have some big needs\u00a0on the offensive line\u00a0and at quarterback that they could address in the first round but they may need to add another pick later in the first round if they\u2019d also want Penix.<\/p>\n

One Coach Thinks Michael Penix Jr. Is QB2<\/h2>\n

\"Michael<\/p>\n

Michael Penix Jr.\u00a0has been a difficult evaluation this offseason. His\u00a0stats were impressive\u00a0and he won a lot at Washington. However, he\u2019s going to be 24 when the season starts and has an extensive injury history. Coaches and scouts seem torn on Penix but there are some who think very highly of the quarterback.<\/p>\n

\u201cPenix is my No. 2 guy,\u201d a coach said of Penix, per an\u00a0April 8 column\u00a0from Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. \u201cI love Penix. He\u2019s a stud, a born leader, calm and collected and in a genuine way. He\u2019s a baller. He turns it loose, can throw it into tight windows. He stands in the pocket, lets plays develop, takes hits, throws it down the field. He\u2019s just a winner.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s certainly high praise for the quarterback. This would suggest that at least one coach thinks Penix is better than Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye and J.J. McCarthy. Getting that type of prospect at No. 13 would be a steal but not everybody is that high on Penix.<\/p>\n

Is Michael Penix Jr. Worth a 1st-Round Pick?<\/h2>\n

With some coaches thinking very highly of Michael Penix Jr., it\u2019s possible that he won\u2019t last until the second round. It\u2019s always difficult to tell with quarterbacks. Some thought\u00a0Will Levis\u00a0would be a top-10 pick last year but he dropped to the second round.<\/p>\n

The biggest red flag with Penix is his upside. He could come into the NFL and be really good as a rookie but might not have much room to grow. For the Raiders, he\u2019d likely be an upgrade over\u00a0Aidan O\u2019Connell\u00a0and\u00a0Gardner Minshew\u00a0but is he good enough to compete with\u00a0Patrick Mahomes? Not many quarterbacks are and the Raiders may want to wait until they can find a quarterback with that kind of potential.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
