The Las Vegas Raiders have some tough decisions to make soon in the draft, as they have the seventh overall pick and a bunch of needs.
The Raiders literally have a need at every position on defense, and a few on offense, so no one really knows what the team will do. But, we know they are interested in the idea of taking a quarterback, as they have met with and hosted several visits with some of the top guys at the position in the draft, as they will on Thursday.
Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Raiders are going to host a top 30 visit with Alabama quarterback Bryce Young, who is projected to go top two in a lot of mock drafts. He is widely considered the best overall player in the draft.
If the Raiders are interested in him, then they likely know that he is a guy that will go within the top two picks, which also means something else.
If they have been paying attention, then they know they will likely need to trade up for Young. So, I'm not saying they are interested in trading up, but the news would definitely suggest they have at least thought about it.
There really is no way he falls to number seven if we are being honest. Of the six teams ahead of the Raiders in the draft, four teams could be interested in grabbing a quarterback. Four of the teams that could be interested would not pass on the best guy at his position.
It's just a thought.
