The clear top prospects haven\u2019t fully emerged yet but there\u2019s some idea on which quarterbacks could be first-round picks.<\/p>\n<p>Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers is expected to be a first-round pick barring how his 2024 season goes but he should be a player the Raiders watch closely. In Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz\u2019s 2025 mock draft for USA TODAY, Las Vegas is projected to take Ewers with the No. 6 pick.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLocked out of the running for the top quarterbacks in this year\u2019s draft class, Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco will have to push through this season with\u00a0Gardner Minshew II\u00a0and\u00a0Aidan O\u2019Connell\u00a0before evaluating their long-term options next spring,\u201d Middlehurst-Schwartz wrote in an\u00a0April 28 column. \u201cEwers still lacks consistency as a decision-maker, but there\u2019s no questioning that his outstanding ability to zip passes into tight windows will help him stand apart from his peers in the pre-draft process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ewers is coming off his best season yet where he\u00a0threw for 22 touchdowns\u00a0on a 10-win Texas team. He was very hyped coming out of high school but he\u2019s yet to put up huge numbers in college. A big 2024 season would help his draft stock quite a bit as there\u2019s no questioning his talent.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Quinn Ewers Has Impressive Arm Talent<\/h2>\n<p>Ewers has yet to light up the stat sheets despite playing with an abundance of talent at Texas. That\u2019s likely why he decided to stay in college for another season. His decision-making leaves a bit to be desired but he\u2019s still only 21 and is oozing with talent.<\/p>\n<p>CBS Sports\u2019 Chris Trapasso raved about the quarterback\u2019s arm talent in his scouting report.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEwers was blessed by the Football Gods \u2014 and his parents \u2014 with a naturally live arm,\u201d Trapasso wrote in a\u00a0December 7 column. \u201cHe\u2019s capable of really cranking the velocity from any arm angle and lower-body base. He exudes arm talent. That\u2019s not to say he has the world\u2019s strongest arm. However, the way he effortlessly flicks the football and it jumps off his hands on, say, a deep out-breaking route from the far hash, is likely the key attribute that led to his No. 1 recruit status a few years ago and the main reason I\u2019m even writing this piece. Ewers has a higher-end NFL arm. There are a select few human beings on Earth with a genuinely impressive arm by NFL standards. Ewers is one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ewers also suffers from some accuracy issues on deep passes but he\u2019s still young and could prove a lot this year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"1c62f4848c1b9fbfc9598aa20ec91bf4\">\n<article>More highlights as we\u2019re Quinn Ewers days from the start of Texas football!<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Is Quinn Ewers Right for Las Vegas Raiders?<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s difficult to see many scenarios where the Raiders end up with a top-five draft pick next season. That will likely make it difficult for the team to add the top quarterback in the draft.<\/p>\n<p>Ewers is a player who could be available to the Raiders unless he shows some big improvement in 2024. However, it\u2019s hard to see him as a perfect fit. Head coach\u00a0Antonio Pierce\u00a0wants a quarterback who can run but Ewers has 23 rushing yards in his college career.<\/p>\n<p>Also, he\u2019ll likely be a bit of a project at the NFL level. The Raiders might want somebody who needs less development. It\u2019s hard to say right now what the team will be looking for next year and it\u2019s possible that Ewers ends up being the target if he shows improvement this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty\u00a0Texas QB Quinn Ewers.
