The Las Vegas Raiders are ready for an all-out war when it comes to doing something huge in the draft on April 27th.

For the first time since they drafted Clelin Ferrell in 2019, the Raiders have a pick in the single digits, as they are currently primed to pick seventh overall. But, that could change.

According to a recent report by Adam Schefter of ESPN, at least six teams have inquired with the Arizona Cardinals about trading up for the third overall pick. There aren't names yet of which teams, but we can guess the Raiders may be one of those teams.

Either way, that's a lot of teams to be inquiring about one pick. The Panthers traded to get the first pick, so they won't be giving that one up. The Texans could trade their pick but likely want to take one of those two quarterbacks that are expected to go one and two.

So, the Cardinals, a team who doesn't need a quarterback, may be looking to move back. The Raiders have a ton to offer too. They have the seventh pick, packaged with 12 other picks of their choice from just this draft. The capital is there if they would like to make a move.

But, it won't be easy. Six other teams are interested. If the Raiders really want their guy, they will do whatever they need to to get that pick.
