Las Vegas Raiders\u00a0head coach Antonio Pierce has talked about being a go-getter and wanting to be aggressive when it comes to finding the Raiders\u2019 quarterback of the future. So, in SB Nation\u2019s mock 2024\u00a0NFL Draft, Las Vegas takes a gamble and trades picks 13 and 77 to the\u00a0Chicago Bears\u00a0for No. 9 and selects Washington\u2019s Michael Penix Jr.<\/p>\n

\"2024<\/p>\n

While the hope is the Silver and Black will trade up into the top three picks to, presumptively, target Jayden Daniels, the Bears,\u00a0Washington Commanders\u00a0and\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0weren\u2019t budging. That meant Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Daniels were selected first, second and third overall. Then, the\u00a0Minnesota Vikings\u00a0parlayed their two first-round picks into a trade with the\u00a0Arizona Cardinals\u00a0to take J.J. McCarthy off the board.<\/p>\n

With four quarterbacks taken in the first four picks and the quarterback-needy\u00a0Denver Broncos\u00a0sitting one spot ahead of the Raiders, panic started to set in, so a move had to be made. Chicago was willing to move out of No. 9 and all it took was a third-round pick for Las Vegas to secure its quarterback of the future.<\/p>\n

Using the\u00a0NFL draft pick trade value chart, this was a pretty even deal as the Raiders only overspent by five points. A small premium to pay for the most important position on the field.<\/p>\n

This pick somewhat defies the odds as well since\u00a0DraftKings Sportsbook\u00a0has a quarterback (+275) as the third-highest odds \u2014 behind offensive lineman (+140) and cornerback (+175) \u2014 for the Silver and Black\u2019s first pick of the draft.<\/p>\n

More importantly, Penix is a pick that the late Al Davis would certainly approve of. Davis always had an affinity for the vertical passing attack and the former Husky has one of the strongest arms in this year\u2019s draft class. He\u2019s more than capable of bombing the ball down the field, which is also a big piece of new offensive coordinator Luke Getsy\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s going to be the rookie\u2019s biggest competitive advantage over the two players the Raiders already have at the position, second-year pro Aidan O\u2019Connell and free-agent signing Gardner Minshew. Both O\u2019Connell and Minshew have weaker arms so that, in addition to the sixth-year senior\u2019s experience, gives Penix a chance to start during Week 1 of the regular season.<\/p>\n

Also, Penix will help speedy wide receiver and last year\u2019s third-round pick Tre Tucker be a bigger piece of the offense during his second season. In turn, that will help open things up underneath for the offense\u2019s No. 1 and 2 receivers, Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers.<\/p>\n

While the Washington product\u2019s accuracy needs work, that\u2019s where having a 6\u20194.5 tight end who is good in contested catches and has a wide catch radius in Michael Mayer can help.<\/p>\n

This might not be the splashy pick that fans want but, at the end of the day, the Raiders get their quarterback of the future in Penix and don\u2019t have to spend a king\u2019s ransom to get him while simultaneously ensuring they keep him away from a division rival.<\/p>\n
