The Las Vegas Raiders have been connected to talented Florida quarterback Anthony Richardson since last season when their general manager Dave Ziegler scouted him in person.
The Raiders were considered early favorites to draft Richardson in the beginning stages of the offseason. Yet, of course, after signing immediate starter Jimmy Garoppolo in the opening hours of free agency, the chances of Las Vegas drafting a quarterback at No. 7 pick may have diminished.
Yet, that has not gone anything to lessen the Raiders-Richardson connections according to the oddsmakers. In fact, according to our friends at DraftKings Sportsbook, the chances of the Raiders drafting Richardson are even more likely than before.
