The 2024 NFL Draft will be an important one for the Las Vegas Raiders, depending on their ambition.
The Raiders finished the 2023 season second in the AFC West with an 8-9 record. It was the second season in a row that Las Vegas failed to qualify for the playoffs.
However, the Raiders showed promising signs under new head coach Antonio Pierce, who took up the interim job after Josh McDaniels' firing in November 2023.
Pierce will be aiming to make the right appointments at the 2024 NFL Draft to build a solid platform for his team next season.

Exploring Las Vegas Raiders' team needs in 2024 NFL Draft
Let's start at quarterback, shall we? A number of teams find themselves in desperate need of a starting quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft, including the Raiders.
Sportskeeda's Tony Pauline reported on Tuesday, April 23, that head coach Antonio Pierce is eyeing a move for Jayden Daniels. However, it would take quite something for the Raiders to convince the Commanders to part with the 2nd overall pick.
With J.J. McCarthy also unlikely to be available for the Raiders at #13 overall, Las Vegas will need to trade up to either #4 with the Cardinals or #5 with the Chargers considering the Vikings are also reportedly eyeing a move up the order.
Apart from QB, the Raiders also need reinforcements at OT, DT, RB, CB and LB.
