The 2024 NFL Draft is closing in and the\u00a0Las Vegas Raiders\u00a0continue to be linked to quarterbacks. While it appears the team is most interested in\u00a0LSU\u2019s Jayden Daniels, they may not be able to trade up far enough to add him.<\/p>\n

\"Washington<\/p>\n

The next most likely option could be Washington\u2019s\u00a0Michael Penix Jr.\u00a0He\u2019s frequently been the selection of the Raiders in mock drafts but it\u2019s difficult to know if the team is willing to use a first-round pick on him. ESPN\u2019s Matt Miller is hearing that the team\u2019s interest in Penix is real and is considering using their No. 13 pick on him.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne constant I keep hearing from people I trust is that the Raiders really do like Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and could select him at No. 13 overall,\u201d Miller wrote in an\u00a0April 19 column. \u201cThat would qualify as a surprise, despite the fact that Penix is a beautiful thrower from the pocket and has the best overall arm strength in this class. His medical history \u2014 four straight season-ending injuries while at Indiana \u2014 and his lack of mobility are concerns enough that he is ranked No. 40 on my board and is generally seen as a Day 2 prospect, but the buzz here is starting to heat up connecting the Raiders to him in Round 1. Las Vegas signed Gardner Minshew, but this team was 26th in QBR last season (40.1) and needs a long-term solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is Michael Penix Jr. A Reach at No. 13?<\/h2>\n

As Matt Miller noted, Michael Penix Jr. is a Day 2 prospect on many draft boards. Now, quarterback is such a valuable position that taking Penix at No. 13 wouldn\u2019t be an egregious reach but it\u2019d\u00a0be a reach nonetheless. There doesn\u2019t appear to be a lot of first-round interest in Penix around the league outside of the Raiders.<\/p>\n

That could just mean that teams are being quiet but it could also mean that Penix is going to fall to the second round. If he\u2019s the quarterback the Raiders want, they have a very tough decision ahead of them. With the No. 13 pick, the team could get an elite right tackle prospect to protect Penix\u2019s blindside.<\/p>\n

That scenario could end with the Raiders not getting Penix at all though. The team could make a trade for a pick alter in the first round. Nobody will fault the team for taking Penix late in the first round. That would be the ideal scenario for Las Vegas.<\/p>\n
