He will be the bridge to eventual number one pick Fernando Mendoza this season. There has been controversy with his contract after […]
The Jets need a long-term answer quarterback. Fernando Mendoza is not a plausible option. The top quarterback prospect in this year’s NFL Draft is a lock to go number one overall to the Las Vegas Raiders.

We are less than three weeks away from the Las Vegas Raiders being on the clock to kick off the 2026 NFL Draft, likely marking the beginning of the Fernando Mendoza era in Las Vegas. But the Raiders’ roster has plenty of other holes to fill, and John Spytek has nine other draft picks (barring […]
With elite Brock Bowers as the starter and Michael Mayer a reliable backup, the Las Vegas Raiders tight end room looks like it’s set and isn’t an area of opportunity. But looks can be deceiving.

Free safety remains one of the biggest weak spots on the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster, hence why the position is widely considered one of the Raiders’ top needs heading into the 2026 NFL draft. The defense struggled to create turnovers last season and currently lacks a true ballhawk to patrol the backend of the secondary. […]
Heading into the 2026 NFL draft, the Las Vegas Raiders’ roster could use a free safety and a long-term solution at nickelback.
