Las Vegas Raiders Could Get Michael Penix in 2nd-Round<\/h2>\n
Another reason why the Raiders shouldn\u2019t trade up for\u00a0J.J. McCarthy\u00a0is the possibility that they can still land a good quarterback in the second round. In a mock draft from Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus, he has\u00a0Michael Penix Jr.\u00a0slipping to the second round where the Raiders select him.<\/p>\n
\u201cPenix can attack the intermediate middle of the field, but it is not as natural,\u201d Sikkema wrote in the\u00a0April 20 mock draft.\u00a0\u201cHe also tends to throw with power too much. He can be a tick late on timing his throws, opting to put more juice on passes rather than more air underneath. This lends itself to a lack of consistent ball placement.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe also opts for the bigger throws and not as many \u2018layups\u2019 even when available.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
