This is a sampling of four different mock drafts each with their own unique voices and methodologies. It's notable that none of them have the Raiders making a move for a quarterback in the first round.
It's certainly possible that they get aggressive and make a move up the board for one. It's also possible that they wind up taking Michael Penix Jr. or Bo Nix with the 13th overall selection.
Instead, the B/R scouting department tabbed JC Latham as the selection. He would be a definitive answer at right tackle. Regardless of who is playing quarterback next season, the Tide tackle would make life easier for them and clear running lanes.
Chad Reuter agrees with the Latham selection in his mock.
Kiper, who teamed up with fellow ESPN analyst Field Yates for a mock draft, sees the Raiders going with Quinyon Mitchell to reinforce their secondary noting that Mitchell is his top-ranked cornerback in the class.
Brendan Donahue only offer a one round mock draft, but he is the most accurate mock drafter over the last five years, per Huddle Report. He also sees the Silver and Black targeting a new cornerback, but opts for Terrion Arnold. He brings up the fact that head coach Antonio Pierce has met with Arnold twice already.
