The latest 2024 NFL mock draft from Sports Illustrated has Jayden Daniels to the Raiders

The Las Vegas Raiders are coming off a game in which QB Aidan O’Connell threw four touchdowns. No need to draft a QB in 2024, right?

Probably wrong. Vegas needs its QB of the future and maybe a Heisman Trophy winner would be a fit.

The latest NFL mock draft from our Christian D’Andrea had Vegas taking edge rusher Laiatu Latu out of UCLA at No. 5 overall, and in the new mock from Sports Illustrated, the Raiders grab Jayden Daniels out of LSU with the No. 6 pick, which makes a lot of sense for the franchise.

What’s the reasoning? Here’s Luke Easterling’s take:

This entire roster needs a massive overhaul, but nothing matters until you have a difference-maker at quarterback. That’s exactly what Daniels was for the Bayou Bengals this season, putting up historic numbers while making huge leaps as a passer to go with this dynamic running ability. The Heisman Trophy winner would bring immediate juice to this entire franchise.

There you have it. Make sure to check out Christian D’Andrea’s latest NFL mock draft!
