Leading up to the 2024 NFL Draft, the Las Vegas Raiders have a variety of routes they could go, and no one knows just which way they’ll lean.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There have been plenty of rumors about the Raiders potentially moving up for a quarterback like Jayden Daniels. But at the same time, they could wait until the second round and look at adding competition to the mix rather than pursuing more of a ‘sure thing.’<\/p>\n
Having already signed Gardner Minshew, who has plenty of starting experience, the Raiders now add him to the room featuring second-year pro Aidan O’Connell, who started 10 games last season as a rookie.<\/p>\n
Yet, it still feels like the Raiders are far from done. And, I think O’Connell knows it, too.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When asked earlier this week about how O’Connell feels about competition at the quarterback position,\u00a0he had this to say:<\/p>\n
\u201c[I]t\u2019s new at this level for me, but it\u2019s nothing new in terms of the competition. It\u2019s been even since high school what I\u2019ve been dealing with and working through, and so that\u2019s just part of the game. It\u2019s not unique to any one position, it\u2019s how it is at every position. Obviously, only one quarterback plays, but it\u2019s part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
As for how he’s handling all of the outside noise and narratives being written about the Raiders needing to address the quarterback position?<\/p>\n
\u201cJust don\u2019t read it. Don\u2019t look at it, don\u2019t read it,” he said. “And yeah, I\u2019m definitely good to be na\u00efve. I think ignorance is definitely bliss, and that\u2019s what I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/p>\n
It’s certainly a good attitude for O’Connell to have, but he seems to understand that the Raiders want to continue adding talent in that room and will probably end up with three on the depth chart, him included.<\/p>\n
He was fine as a rookie. He did some good things. But, did O’Connell do enough to prove he could be a long-term starter? Of course not. Now, he’s got the right attitude and the confidence needed to play the part. That definitely counts for something.<\/p>\n
Still, Las Vegas very well could make a big move up for one of the top-four quarterbacks in this class, and that would all but be the end of O’Connell’s starting hopes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
