Las Vegas has four teams ahead of them that could be looking for a new quarterback
With the Las Vegas Raiders sitting at 2-6 after Week 8, many have turned their attention to the NFL Draft as the Raiders are expected to be in the market for a new quarterback. However, with the current first-round order, Las Vegas will need some help or need to trade up as four teams picking ahead of them could also be looking for a new signal-caller this April.
Top 10 Order

- Carolina Panthers 1-7
- Tennessee Titans 1-6
- New England Patriots 2-6
- New York Jets 2-6
- Jacksonville Jaguars 2-6
- New Orleans Saints 2-6
- Las Vegas Raiders 2-6
- Cleveland Browns 2-6
- Miami Dolphins 2-5
- New York Giants 2-5 (playing tonight on Monday Night Football)
The Panthers, Titans, Jets and Saints all don’t seem to have the quarterback of the future on their roster, putting the Raiders in a tough spot to find their starter moving forward. Also, the Silver and Black could use a win from the Giants against the Steelers tonight. Luckily, the Saints and the Panthers play next week, and Las Vegas got some help yesterday with the Browns pulling off the upset over the Ravens.
