With free agency moves already underway, the Las Vegas Raiders are looking to make a splash in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft. The Raiders have set their sights on a top quarterback and a promising defensive tackle in this full first-round mock draft.
PICK 1: CJ STROUD, QB FROM CAROLINA PANTHERS
The Panthers may be stuck between two top quarterback prospects, but the Raiders swoop in to snatch up CJ Stroud, who impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine. With Stroud in the mix, the Raiders hope to elevate their offense to new heights.
PICK 2: ANTHONY RICHARDSON, QB FROM HOUSTON TEXANS
As the Houston Texans hit the reset button on their quarterback situation, the Raiders snag up Anthony Richardson, who proved himself at the Combine as a top talent. With two young quarterbacks in the mix, the Raiders can build for a bright future.
PICK 3: WILL ANDERSON JR, EDGE FROM ARIZONA CARDINALS
The Cardinals may lose edge rusher Zach Allen to free agency, but they have a chance to land the best edge rusher in the draft class with Will Anderson Jr. A potential generational player, Anderson could make an immediate impact for the Raiders’ defense.
As the NFL Draft approaches, the Las Vegas Raiders are making strategic moves to set themselves up for success. Fans eagerly await to see if these picks will pay off in the upcoming season.
