Top NFL QBs Las Vegas Raiders Fans Should Know This

The Las Vegas Raiders didn’t get what they hoped for from their quarterback room this season.

Gardner Minshew II is fine, but he’s not a franchise quarterback. He has always been a capable backup who can step into a starting role out of necessity.

Minshew beat out Aidan O’Connell in the offseason quarterback competition. O’Connell was impressive when he took over during his rookie season, but that same fire clearly wasn’t there, leading Antonio Pierce and the rest of the coaching staff to believe that Minshew was the best option to win games.

The 2025 NFL Draft features a few quarterbacks with serious star potential. If the Raiders fall in love with a quarterback near the top of the draft, they could make the move and find their next franchise signal-caller.

So, which quarterbacks should Raider Nation know about?

Let’s look at the five best options.

Shedeur Sanders, Colorado – Raiders owner Mark Davis was seen talking to Sanders at a Las Vegas Aces game this weekend, and Davis can be heard saying, “Who knows?” You may be at home right now.

This would be a welcome sight for Raiders fans. Sanders is an excellent arm talent who throws with accuracy and precision. He’s not a major threat with his legs, but he’s mobile enough to play outside the pocket.

Sanders would provide an immediate upgrade at quarterback and bring star-level swagger to the Silver and Black.

Cam Ward, Miami (FL) – One of the top candidates for the Heisman Trophy, Ward’s rise to stardom has been fascinating.

In high school, Ward’s offense only ran the Wing-T, which led to him not earning many college offers. He spent time at Incarnate Word and Washington State before being traded to the Hurricanes.

Ward has good size, excellent arm talent and pocket navigation. He could bring an explosive element to Silver and Black.

Jalen Milroe, Alabama – Milroe’s improvement this season has led to a meteoric rise.

Milroe has thrown for 1,274 yards and 11 touchdowns in five games this season. He’s a true dual-threat quarterback with an incredibly strong arm and great escaping ability. His ability to play alone is a rare skill.

The Raiders could use an electric quarterback like Milroe to spark their offense.

Carson Beck, Georgia – Beck struggled against Alabama, but he made plays and effectively led the Bulldogs’ offense during his time in Athens.

Beck has totaled 1,359 yards and 12 touchdowns this season. He is big, accurate and can make throws at all three levels. His ball placement is next level. He can also extend plays with his legs and run for first downs.

Beck has already been widely mocked by the Raiders, and he would immediately help spark Las Vegas’ passing game.

Jaxson Dart, Ole Miss – Dart is just one of those quarterbacks who consistently makes big throws.

He had 2,100 yards and 13 touchdowns this season. He’s not the biggest and doesn’t have a great arm, but he reads defenses well and doesn’t turn the ball over. He is precise and can overlap throws.

Dart could be a dark horse to become one of the top quarterbacks in the class and could be a big upgrade for the Raiders.
