Raiders' Chip Kelly firing just opened the door for a dream NFL draft prospect

The Las Vegas Raiders couldn't put their fanbase through any more torture, as they decided to fire offensive coordinator Chip Kelly after just 11 games. In that time, the Raiders won just two games under the direction of someone who was the highest-paid OC in the league for a brief period.

The one silver lining that can come out of the Kelly mess and the subsequent decision to pair him with Geno Smith as the starting quarterback is that the Raiders are so bad they could land a genuine franchise-altering talent with one of their premium picks in the 2026 NFL Draft.
