Blockbuster Trade Proposal Lands Raiders Star QB Antonio Pierce Wants for Haul
It’s still early in the draft process and there are a lot of teams that need quarterbacks. The Las Vegas Raiders are definitely a team to watch when it comes to the 2024 NFL Draft class.
Aidan O’Connell has the potential to be a starter but his upside is limited due to his lack of athleticism. If the Raiders want a quarterback who can make plays with his feet, LSU’s Jayden Daniels makes a lot of sense.
Ryan Fowler of Bleacher Report pitched a huge trade that would have the Raiders send the No. 13 overall selection, a 2024 second-round pick (No. 44 overall), a 2025 first-round pick and a 2026 second-round pick to the New England Patriots in exchange for the No. 3 pick. The Raiders would then use that pick to select Daniels.
“The details of this deal do not include two future first-round selections, but making a move into the top five for a potential shot at Daniels will cost Las Vegas a pretty penny,” Fowler wrote in a February 8 column.
“However, if head coach Antonio Pierce wants to build the Raiders from the ground up, drafting his face of the franchise could be a great message to Las Vegas fans that he’s not wasting any time.”
