Dane Brugler NFL Mock Draft: Raiders Take Aidan O'Connell; QB 'Popular' Among Teams

The Las Vegas Raiders are believed to be eyeing a quarterback in the NFL draft later this month, but there's a chance they won't use their first-round pick to find their signal-caller of the future.

The Athletic's Dane Brugler believes that the Raiders will wait a bit, as his latest seven-round mock draft has them using their fourth-round pick (109th overall) to select Purdue's Aidan O'Connell, who he noted has received glowing reviews leading up to the draft.

"Arguably the most popular non-first-round quarterback among teams this year, O'Connell is far above-average in three key areas that NFL coaches covet: accuracy, intelligence and intangibles," Brugler wrote.
