McShay: Raiders Out on Shedeur Sanders; Keep an Eye on Will Howard Despite Geno Trade
The Las Vegas Raiders may be out of the mix for Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft, according to The Ringer's Todd McShay.
"Just reading some of the tea leaves, I don't know that Shedeur at six is going to be the answer," McShay said on Monday's The McShay Show (34:30 mark). "I don't think there's going to be a marriage there. We'll see what happens."

2025 Draft Picks Ready For Leap ๐ธ

Jaguars' Hypothetical Alvin Kamara Trade Offer
The Raiders might not be completely opposed to adding a quarterback in the draft despite trading a 2025 third-round pick for veteran passer Geno Smith on Friday, though.
"Keep an eye on Will Howard, Raiders," McShay said (35:46 mark). "Keep an eye on that."
Howard, who started under center for Ohio State in 2024, already has ties to Las Vegas' coaching staff. New offensive coordinator Chip Kelly previously served as the Buckeyes' offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach with Howard before he was hired by the Raiders on Feb. 2.
While Las Vegas may be hesitant to target a quarterback such as Sanders early in the first round with Smith projected to start entering the team's 2025 campaign, Howard could serve as a long-term successor.
Even though Smith has proven himself as a capable starter with the Seattle Seahawks, he'll also be turning 35 years old before the end of the 2025 regular season.
In the latest mock draft from Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department, Las Vegas was projected to add LSU offensive lineman Will Campbell with the No. 6 overall selection.
The first round of the 2025 NFL draft starts on April 24.
