Show Notes
The Las Vegas Raiders, after missing out on a trade for Maxx Crosby, are focusing on their rebuild in the 2026 NFL draft. With the first pick, theyre projected to select Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, seen as a franchise player fitting Klint Kubiaks offense. The Raiders, led by general manager John Spytek, are taking a patient approach, aiming for value and setting up a stronger 2027 season. Their draft strategy includes adding athleticism to the secondary with Indiana cornerback DAngelo Ponds in round two, and bolstering their linebacker corps with Jake Golday from Cincinnati and Romello Height from Texas Tech in later rounds.
