Back to EpisodesRaiders' Draft Picks: Quarterback & Trench Warriors
Description
The Las Vegas Raiders, with the number one pick, are expected to draft Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. Experts agree hes the top player in this quarterback class. The team needs a franchise signal-caller to lead the offense. Projections for their second and third-round picks vary, with suggestions ranging from beefing up the lines to grabbing versatile defensive backs or offensive tackles. The Raiders roster is thin in key spots, putting general manager John Spytek in a tough but promising spot. Building through the lines aligns with his vision, while adding speed at wide receiver or turnover creators could boost the defense. Some mocks highlight injury risks, but others point to athletic guards, massive nose tackles, or even Mendozas college teammate at receiver for instant chemistry. The Raiders should emerge with high-upside talent that plugs multiple holes and sets up their new quarterback for success.
