As the Raiders limp to a 2-14 finish with a season finale against the Chiefs, the real drama begins after the final whistle. With the NFL’s worst record, Las Vegas is poised to secure either the No. 1 or No. 2 pick in the draft, a prize that could reshape the franchise.

The central question: Will the Raiders use that top pick on a quarterback? Prospects Fernando Mendoza and Dante Moore are expected to declare, and either could be the answer. But the team is also weighing whether either is worth the investment, with a trade-down scenario possible.

Coach Pete Carroll’s job security adds another layer. A list of potential replacements includes Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady, Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley, Rams defensive coordinator Chris Shula, 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken, Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith, Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, Chargers defensive coordinator Jesse Minter, Seahawks defensive coordinator Aden Durde, and Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver. A high-profile college coach or former Packers and Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy could also be in play.

The Raiders also addressed the loss of rookie quarterback Cam Miller, who was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins. The team waived him after training camp, signed him to the practice squad, and never protected him on the 53-man roster, leaving him vulnerable.

On the quarterback debate, one fan asked: “Moore or Mendoza?” The response: “Speculation: Edge to Mendoza, but still early.”
