Running back isn't at the top of the Las Vegas Raiders' needs list, but it is one nonetheless. They just signed Alexander Mattison to compete with Zamir White for the starting job, and of course, the Swiss army knife that is Ameer Abdullah has re-signed this offseason, too.
Looking back now, it seems like Antonio Pierce was always going to be the head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders when the team was deciding earlier this offseason.
The Raiders hold the 13th pick in the NFL Draft, and they have consistently been linked to a certain quarterback.
The Las Vegas Raiders need their quarterback of the future. They can get that in this draft. It's just about where they get one and who it is. They have a chance to take one in the first round at pick No.
The Las Vegas Raiders own the 13th overall pick in the NFL Draft, and many are wondering if they will try to take a quarterback. The Raiders don’t seem all that committed to Aidan O’Connell under center, as evidenced by the fact that they signed Gardner Minshew in free agency.

Last year, the Las Vegas Raiders picked up Purdue’s Aidan O’Connell on Day 3 of the NFL Draft. It worked out well; should they go back to it? Who can forget when the team’s brain trust missed out on C.J.
Daniels remains the favorite to be chosen second overall.
The Las Vegas Raiders really, really need a quarterback in this draft. However, they don't need just any quarterback—they need one who can change the franchise's future and make them an immediate playoff team.

If there’s one thing that Las Vegas Raiders head coach Antonio Pierce values as much as anything, it’s leadership. Thankfully, his defense has plenty of it—we know about Maxx Crosby, but the linebacker group’s leader isn’t far behind.
The Las Vegas Raiders are entering draft week with a few things to check off the list by next week. They have to grab a quarterback, and that's pretty obvious, but the way things are now trending, they may just take one at pick No.
