Bold Raiders' NFL Draft Day Proposed Trade Suggested

The Las Vegas Raiders have the 13th overall pick in the NFL Draft this year and have multiple options for what to do with the pick. They could trade back in the draft and pick up more picks.

They also could stay where they are in the draft and still find a top talent to add to their offensive line, linebacker or cornerback rooms.

Or, they could trade up in the draft.

With wanting to add a quarterback, the idea of the Raiders trading up in the draft will continue to be suggested until draft day. Las Vegas has many positions of need on its roster. While trading up might not be the best idea, it isn't out of the question.

If the Raiders decide to trade up in the draft, many expect it to be for one of the top quarterbacks.

However, ESPN writer Aaron Schatz thinks the Raiders could make a bold trade on draft day for a top talent. Schatz's suggestion would be an unexpected twist for the Raiders for many reasons.

“Is [Davante] Adams happy in Las Vegas? He says yes, but his role could change with a new coaching staff,” Schatz said. “It might make sense for the Raiders to move on from Adams and his big contract now that he’s turning 32 this year.

“So how about trying to replace Adams with coveted WR (Marvin) Harrison (of Ohio State)? A big trade up the draft board would help the Cardinals improve their receiving corps with Adams while also giving them the 13th overall pick to improve their league-worst defense from 2023. The Raiders would get perhaps the best-receiving prospect in years at a rookie contract salary.”

The Raiders have made it known they have no intentions of trading their All-Pro wide receiver. It is almost unthinkable that they would trade him, let alone draft his replacement instead of a quarterback that high in the draft.

The NFL Draft will be held in Detroit, Mich., on April 25-27, 2024. The Las Vegas Raiders currently hold the No. 13 overall pick.
