The Las Vegas Raiders own eight picks in the 2024 NFL draft, and they've made it clear that they're looking for a long-term solution at quarterback.
Quarterback isn't the only need for the Silver and Black heading into the draft. Solidifying the right side of the offensive line and picking up a top-tier cornerback are also major needs for the Raiders, who are entering their first full season under coach Antonio Pierce.
The 2024 NFL draft will take place at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit from April 25 through April 27. Round 1 will begin April 25 at 8 p.m. ET, while Rounds 2 and 3 are on April 26 starting at 7 p.m. ET. Rounds 4 through 7 begin at noon ET on April 27. The draft will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC, ESPN+ and the ESPN App. There are 257 total picks in the draft.
Here's the full list of the Raiders' draft picks by round, along with a look at their top roster needs headed into the 2024 season.

Top three needs: QB, OT, CB. Even with Aidan O'Connell returning and the Raiders signing Gardner Minshew, Pierce has not been shy in his desire for a young franchise QB. But with the Raiders slated to pick at No. 13, they would have to pull off a hefty trade to get into position to draft, say, LSU's Jayden Daniels, who has been heavily linked to Pierce thanks to their time together at Arizona State.
Las Vegas also lost starting right tackle Jermaine Eluemunor in free agency and still has a hole at right guard with last year's starter, Greg Van Roten, unsigned. And while Jack Jones was a revelation at one corner position last season after being picked up off waivers, selecting a lockdown defender on the other side would be key. -- Paul Gutierrez
