Las Vegas Raiders, owners of the No. 7 pick, hosting Will Levis today

It feels inevitable that Will Levis will hear his name called as a first-round pick later this month.

According to ESPN’s Ian Rapoport, Levis will spend Monday at the Las Vegas Raiders facility for a Top 30 visit. Las Vegas is the owner of the No. 7 overall pick in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft. Levis is considered to be one of the top five quarterback prospects available.

Keep in mind that the Raiders recently signed QB Jimmy Garoppolo to a three-year, $67.5 million deal roughly two weeks ago, but the roster currently has just two quarterbacks on board, the other being undrafted second-year QB Chase Garbers.

The 2023 NFL Draft is scheduled for April 27-29.

Lately, Levis has been trending towards landing with the Indianapolis Colts, which control the No. 4 overall pick. The majority of mock drafts have Levis going among the top 10 picks, with only a handful of projections placing him outside of that group.

The Carolina Panthers, owners of the top overall selection, brought arguably the biggest group of personnel to Kentucky football’s Pro Day last weekend to check out Levis. Additionally, members of the Seattle Seahawks (No. 5 overall) also came to Lexington in droves, although QB Geno Smith, 32, recently inked a three-year, $75 million deal with the franchise.

Levis finished his Kentucky career with over 5,000 passing yards and 43 touchdowns (23 interceptions) across his two seasons. In 24 games played, he led the Wildcats to a 17-7 record and two postseason bowl appearances. The 22-year-old has been a polarizing figure throughout this year’s pre-draft process but is still expected to go early on day one.
