Las Vegas heads to Indianapolis with the No. 1 pick in mind and targets six offensive prospects to bolster the offense: QB Diego Pavia (Vanderbilt); RB Jadarian Price (Notre Dame); WR Elijah Sarratt (Indiana); TE Kenyon Sadiq (Oregon); OL Emmanuel Pregnon (Oregon); and OT Francis Mauigoa (Miami). The piece notes Mendoza (Indiana QB) is widely projected as the Raiders’ top pick but isn’t expected to drill, while Pavia’s efficiency and athleticism, Price’s change-of-pace potential, Sarratt’s receiving upside, Sadiq’s versatility at tight end, and the line choices from Pregnon and Mauigoa could influence Raiders’ draft decisions.
