"Raiders tampering": Fans take shots at Mark Davis for meeting with top 2025 NFL Draft prospect Shedeur Sanders

The Las Vegas Raiders are in dire need of a starting quarterback, as evident by their 2-2 record so far. Gardner Minshew has not exactly given fans a lot of hope about the future of the franchise and with Davante Adams likely to be traded in the next couple of weeks, the Raiders appear resigned to having a high lottery pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

There are more than a few intriguing quarterback options in this class but one name Raiders fans have been paying close attention to is Colorado's Shedeur Sanders. Deion Sanders' son met up with Raiders owner Mark Davis at the Las Vegas Aces' Game 3 win over the New York Liberty on Friday, prompting some outrage from a section of NFL fans.

In the video of their interaction that soon went viral, Davis could be heard telling Sanders:

"Who knows, this could be home right now."

Here's what fans on social media platform X had to say about Davis' conversation with Shedeur Sanders:

Here are some more reactions from fans.

"This man's gonna be our QB," one fan said.

"He wants to be a Raider," another fan said.

"This just feels like it's gonna happen," a fan said.

2025 NFL Draft: Can the Raiders realistically land Shedeur Sanders?

Sportskeeda's Playoff Predictor has the Raiders racking up seven wins in all, leaving them with the 10th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. That may not be enough for the Raiders to land a quarterback given the likes of Carolina and Cleveland will be ahead of them in the order.

However, if the Raiders end up dealing Davante Adams, we could very well see them land a higher pick.

2025 NFL Draft order: Raiders land 10th overall pick in simulation

In his 2025 NFL Mock Draft, Sportskeeda's resident draft expert Tony Pauline has Shedeur Sanders landing with the Carolina Panthers with the first overall pick this year, though at this point, the Panthers would have to lose a lot more after Andy Dalton's resurgence. Pauline sees the Raiders landing with the 3rd overall pick instead, landing Georgia's Carson Beck with that pick.
