After a blowout loss, are you feeling the draft?
Between a combination of the Las Vegas Raiders‘ embarrassing Week 5 loss to the Denver Broncos that makes the playoff feel like a long shot and the rest of the AFC West not playing on Sunday, we’ll take a look at the NFL Draft order this week instead of the normal Monday morning AFC West roundup.

The 10th pick will put the Raiders in an interesting spot for drafting a quarterback. There could be six teams ahead of them that are in the market for a signal-caller; the Rams, Browns, Panthers, Titans, Dolphins and Jets. Right now, Tankathon is projecting Las Vegas to land Texas offensive tackle Kelvin Banks Jr. in the first round and Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe in the second.
