SO SAD: It’s With Heavy Heart We Announce To You The Passing Away Of Raiders MVP After Involving In…

That being said, there’s a strong likelihood that the Raiders, who own the 13th pick in the draft, will use it to choose a quarterback. This year’s draft features six elite quarterbacks, and it is highly likely that four of them will be chosen by the time the Raiders make their selection.

As the Raiders’ full-time head coach, Pierce is beginning his first season in that role. Last year, he served as an interim coach. Pierce will be dependent on Las Vegas general manager Tom Telesco because he is a “rookie” and one of the most seasoned executives when it comes to acquiring quarterback quality.

Pierce does not have to do all the work when it comes to bringing a rookie quarterback into the fold. The head coach faces significant pressure leading the team and making personnel decisions for the starting lineup. Selecting players to draft is a major responsibility that he does not have as approaches his first full season.

“Well, you know you can’t have two quarterbacks on the roster, right? So, we know we have to add some,” Pierce told the NFL Network’s Steve Wyche. “The next wave is the draft. So we’ll see. I got Tom Telesco in there. Got the magician. Figure out what he’s got up his sleeve. He’s done it for a long time. I got a lot of trust in him. I think he’s seen it wherever he’s been. Peyton Manning, Andrew Luck, becomes a GM with the Chargers, Philip Rivers, Justin Herbert. So he knows something about quarterbacks.”
