The Las Vegas Raiders are a team in flux. Coming off a disappointing 4-13 season, both head coach Antonio Pierce and general manager Tom Telesco were recently fired. With replacements yet to be selected, it’s hard to know what mindset the team will have when the 2025 NFL Draft comes around. What is undeniable, however, is that this roster is filled with holes. For starters, the Raiders desperately need a franchise quarterback. However, this draft class is not considered strong at the quarterback position. It will be interesting to see how the team will handle free agency, as the Raiders are currently projected to have around $92.5 million to spend, according to Over the Cap. With the offseason officially underway in Las Vegas, let’s do a three-round mock draft. Pro Football Network’s mock draft simulator will be used for this exercise, and no trades will be included.
