Episode Details

The Las Vegas Raiders, focusing on their offseason and the upcoming draft, showcased their interest in college prospects at the 2026 NFL combine. With quarterback Fernando Mendoza likely to be their first overall pick, they targeted mid-to-late round gems across various positions.

Arkansas running back Mike Washington Junior and USC wide receiver JaKobi Lane impressed with their measurables and drills, while Arizona State tackle Max Iheanachor stood out with top athletic scores among linemen. However, Nebraskas Emmett Johnson, Notre Dames Malachi Fields, and Texas A&M tight end Nate Boerkircher saw their stocks drop due to poor testing and on-field performances.

Defensive standouts like Penn States Dani Dennis-Sutton and Texas Techs Lee Hunter also made an impact, while Ohio States Kayden McDonald raised concerns with his arm length. These combine performances will likely influence mock drafts, as the Raiders aim to build depth for a competitive roster.
