4-13 should be more valuable
The 2024 NFL season was a bad year to be a bad team.
A 4-13 finish should be worth much more than it will be the Las Vegas Raiders in the April 24-26 draft.
The Raiders, of course, are slotted to pick sixth in the draft. In the 2024 draft, the New York Giants pick at No. 6. They finished 6-11.
If the Raiders finished 4-13 a year ago, they would have picked no higher than No. 2 and no lower than No. 4.
Picking at No. 6 not a bad thing, but it’s kind of a buzz kill considering the Raiders finished 4-13.
