The Las Vegas Raiders are gearing up for an important moment as the 2024 NFL Draft draws near. With the team holding the 13th overall pick, it presents an opportunity for General Manager Tom Telesco to make his mark on the franchise. One of the tough decisions facing Telesco is whether to add a young quarterback to the roster, despite other pressing needs on the offensive side of the ball.

NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah recently shared his thoughts on an ideal scenario for the Raiders. Familiar with Telesco's tenure as the former Los Angeles Chargers GM, Jeremiah believes the team could address their needs by selecting a talented tackle and quarterback in the first two rounds.

Jeremiah expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "If the Raiders manage to secure (Taliese) Fuaga with the 13th pick and then grab Michael Penix Jr. later in the first round, it would be an 'everything's gone perfect' type of draft for me." Fuaga is regarded as a promising right tackle prospect who fits the team's scheme, while Penix Jr. would provide a dynamic option at quarterback and compete with Aidan O'Connell for the future of the franchise.

This potential outcome would be a victory for Telesco, solidifying his efforts to shape the Raiders' future. With the draft just days away, anticipation is building as fans eagerly await to see what moves Telesco and his team will make to bolster their roster.

Sporting News has also highlighted the team's biggest remaining needs before the draft, while CBS Sports has suggested the possibility of the Raiders trading up to secure a quarterback.

Excitement is in the air as the Raiders prepare to navigate the upcoming draft. Fans and experts alike eagerly anticipate finding out the final decisions and moves that Telesco and the Raiders will make to shape the team's future.
