The latest 2024 NFL mock draft from Fox Sports’ Nick Wright has the Raiders trading up for Jayden Daniels

Throughout the 2024 NFL mock draft season, the anticipation surrounding LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels and his peculiar elbow, which he insists isn’t a concern, has been palpable. Many projections have placed him as a surefire top-three pick in the upcoming draft.

In the most recent NFL mock draft by Christian D’Andrea, Daniels is slated to be chosen as the No. 2 overall pick by the Washington Commanders. However, there’s speculation about what could happen if the Heisman Trophy recipient experiences a drop in his draft stock. This scenario is explored in the latest mock draft by Fox Sports’ Nick Wright.

Wright envisions Daniels falling to the No. 5 spot, where the Las Vegas Raiders are poised to select him. In this projection, the Raiders are anticipated to execute a trade, offering the No. 13 pick, No. 77 pick, and a first-round pick in the 2025 draft to secure the talented quarterback.
