After winning two of their final three games, the Raiders dropped to the No. 6 spot in the NFL draft and probably will have to trade up to get a quarterback.
Raiders rookie tight end Brock Bowers finished with the third-most receptions in the NFL, was eighth in receiving yards and fourth in yards after the catch.

While most of the focus on the planned $1.8 billion, 65,000-seat Las Vegas stadium is focused on the construction site at Interstate 15 and Russell Road, the Las Vegas Stadium Authority continues to monitor agreements it has reached with the stadium’s builders, the Oakland Raiders.
