It’s April which means draft preparation is kicking into high gear. The Raiders hold the seventh overall pick and find themselves squarely in the market for a quarterback. Picking the right one will take all the due diligence.
Today they will exercise some of that due diligence, hosting Kentucky’s Will Levis on a Top-30 visit.

Levis is widely considered one of the draft’s top four quarterbacks, all of whom are expected to be selected in the top ten, and potentially the top five, should teams trade up.
Therefore, the decision as to which of the QB’s the Raiders select could end up out of their hands. But whether they choose to trade up, or take one such as Levis at seven, should he be there, depends on the impression they get from his visit along with his pro day and scouting combine workout.
Other top QB prospects in this draft include CJ Stroud, Bryce Young, and Anthony Richardson. With Stroud and Young figuring to be out of reach, Richardson and Levis are the two that seem potentially attainable at seven.
