How does Jimmy Garoppolo's arrival affect Raiders' QB draft plans?

PHOENIX -- Las Vegas Raiders general manager Dave Ziegler exited the gated swimming pool area at the posh Arizona Biltmore resort Tuesday afternoon for a one-on-one interview with ESPN.com. How appropriate, given that the second-year GM had been dipping his toes into the NFL's free agency pool the previous two-plus weeks.

Because while the Raiders signed free agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a three-year, $72.75 million contract on March 17, they hold the No. 7 overall pick in next month's draft.

So how might Garoppolo joining the Raiders affect Ziegler's thinking in terms of adding a quarterback high in the draft?
