Chicago Bears Mock Draft: Top 9 picks in 2023 NFL Draft
7. Las Vegas Raiders: Anthony Richardson, QB, Florida
There are two scenarios where the Raiders end up with Anthony Richardson. As noted, if anyone trades up to number three, it may be the Raiders. They have been known to be aggressive, and we heard they were a team that came up short of the number one overall pick.
If they have eyes on Richardson, they could jump the Raiders. At the same time, of the four quarterbacks. Richardson is more likely to fall to seven due to his questionable accuracy.
This is the exact pick that Josh Allen was selected. Josh McDaniels drafted Tim Tebow once upon a time. When Cam Newton was available, it was McDaniels who built the offense around him. Neither of those worked, but McDaniels clearly values the running dynamic and the athletic upside.
Now that he has a second chance, he may swing again at Anthony Richardson.
