There was talk about the Raiders drafting a quarterback this year, but they decided against adding one until later in the draft.
The team could decide to take one early next year, but if Smith can start playing well, they can be more patient.
His grandfather, Lloyd Carr, was the Michigan head coach of @Raiders GM John Spytek and @Raiders limited partnership owner Tom Brady.
It’s still too early to know for sure if he’ll have what it takes to be an NFL quarterback.
As of now, there aren’t any obvious star quarterbacks who are expected to be in the 2026 NFL Draft class.
