The Raiders are looking for a new starting quarterback after employing Derek Carr in that role for the better part of nine seasons.

Las Vegas is expected to look everywhere for a potential replacement for Carr. And at the NFL Combine, Raiders coach Josh McDaniels explained that the team is still assessing its options at the position.That said, McDaniels may have tipped his hand about the Raiders' plans during his news conference.

How? Well, McDaniels seemed to indicate that he believes that drafting and developing a quarterback is presently the best option for building a team into an NFL contender.

“The goal for us eventually is to have somebody that’s going to be here for a long time," McDaniels explained. "I think you see the teams that are having success right now in our league, in our conference, and specifically in our division, they’re young players that were drafted by their clubs and they’re being developed there under the same continuity."

Indeed, all seven of the AFC playoff teams for 2023 were led to the postseason by quarterbacks that their organization had drafted. All were also under the age of 27, with Patrick Mahomes representing the elder statesman of the group.

So, McDaniels has a point. Drafting and developing a quarterback is an effective strategy, especially thanks to the cost savings of having a QB on a rookie contract. And the Raiders should be positioned to do just that in the 2023 NFL Draft considering that they are armed with the No. 7 pick.

Of course, that doesn't mean that McDaniels and the Raiders are dead-set on drafting a quarterback, as he explained.

"But do I think you have to do that if you’re not sure or not sold on the player? And now you’re making a mistake just to try to say that you’ve solving a problem? I don’t think that’s really a smart decision," he said. "So, we’re going to do everything we can do to evaluate every player at that position — both in the draft and free agency and try to do what we can do to improve the room."


Marcel Reece, a former player and close confidant to team owner Mark Davis, has reportedly left his key role with the franchise.

On Tuesday morning, The Athletic reported that Reece has departed the Las Vegas Raiders’ organization. He was hired as an executive to Davis’ staff in 2020. Reece was the Senior Vice President, Chief of Staff.
Reece, an Oakland Raiders’ fullback for the seven seasons from 2009-15, was always close with Davis during his playing days. Davis long used Reece as a sounding board during and after his playing days. It was not a surprise that Davis later hired Reece to an important role to the staff. Reece worked closely to Davis in his role and the two were often seen together.

It is unknown what are the reasons behind Reece’s departure from the organization and it is not known if Davis will replace him. The team has seen several key front-office members leave in the past couple of years.
