After firing Antonio Pierce, the Raiders trade up to get their hands on a franchise quarterback, which they desperately need. Another season of Aidan O’Connell and Gardner Minshew II isn’t tenable, so the Raiders grab Sanders to lead their franchise for the next few years.

As of right now, the top QB draft prospects are Colorado's Shedeur Sanders and Miami's Cam Ward, so the Browns are currently in place to land one of the two. As for possible free agents, we'll have to see, though one ESPN analyst seems to believe Kirk Cousins could be the move.

“Sanders is an ideal fit in Kevin Stefanski’s offense, as his game centers around his polish as a pocket passer.
