The Las Vegas Raiders face a crucial offseason with the need to secure a quarterback, presenting options via the NFL Draft or free agency. With a top draft pick and over $100 million to spend, they are in a prime position to enhance their roster. Aidan O'Connell has emerged as a potential starter, having demonstrated promise in limited appearances, especially during the season's stretch run. His performances included nearly toppling the Kansas City Chiefs, showcasing his potential despite a lackluster season overall.

Ranked as the 20th-best quarterback in the league, just ahead of Aaron Rodgers, O'Connell's future remains uncertain. While the Raiders are likely to pursue a quarterback in the draft, questions linger about O'Connell's readiness and the potential acquisition of a veteran like Kirk Cousins. His statistics, however, reveal challenges, including weak performance metrics and support from a subpar offensive line.
