The Las Vegas Raiders will essentially be punting on 2025 if they go into the year with either Gardner Minshew or Aidan O'Connell as the team's starting quarterbacks, which is one of the main reasons they have been connected to Los Angeles Rams star Matthew Stafford often during the early stages of the offseason. If the Raiders are able to acquire Stafford, who is being rumored to cost a first-round pick in any trade, there's a very real chance that this team ditches the No. 6 overall pick in a weak quarterback class to move forward with a proven producer and winner to kick off the Pete Carroll era. Should the Raiders end up trading No. 6 overall to acquire Stafford, that still shouldn't disqualify Carroll and new GM John Spytek from knocking it out of the park in the 2025 NFL Draft. They can build a winner around Stafford by nailing their mid-round picks in this draft.
