Back to EpisodesRaiders' Draft Pick: Mendoza & Vet QB?
Description
The Las Vegas Raiders, with the top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, are expected to select Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. General manager John Spytek faces questions about the teams quarterback situation, following the trade of Geno Smith and the departure of veteran quarterback Aidan OConnell. New head coach Klint Kubiak, fresh off a Super Bowl win, seeks a reliable signal-caller to fit his run-heavy, play-action offense. While Mendoza is the likely choice, the Raiders have cap space to potentially sign a veteran quarterback like Kirk Cousins or Joe Flacco to mentor the rookie and provide immediate support.
