Tristen Kuhn’s 2026 Draft Top 300 Big Board
The NFL Draft kicks off tonight through Saturday. Over 250 prospects will hear their names called and numerous will land as UDFA/PFA’s. The 2026 NFL Draft isn’t overly great at the top of the class, and there’s a little bit of concern with the overall depth down the class as well. In terms of the […]
Raiders NFL Draft 2026: How to watch 1st round
Congratulations, we’ve made it to draft day. Mock draft season is over. It’s time for the real thing. The three-day NFL Draft starts Thursday. Of course, it’s a big draft for the Las Vegas Raiders, who need to supplement this roster with a strong draft in the first season of the John Spytek-Klint Kubiak and […]
NFL Draft 2026: What time are the Raiders picking in the first round?
The Las Vegas Raiders enter the 2026 NFL draft with the third-worst odds (+590) in the AFC to make the playoffs next season, according to our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook. However, the Raiders are widely expected to make former Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza the No. 1 pick of the draft on Thursday night, who looks […]
Las Vegas Raiders 2026 NFL mock draft: How trading up or back at 36 impacts rest of draft
With Fernando Mendoza being linked to the Las Vegas Raiders in the 2026 NFL draft for months, the first big decision John Spytek actually has to make during draft weekend is what to do in the second round with the 36th overall pick. But that doesn’t necessarily mean the Raiders will select a player at […]

It’s time for the NFL draft as the three-day event begins Thursday night. Today’s links post is a reminder of the goal of the draft —- to select as many high-quality players as possible. Of course, the Las Vegas Raiders have struggled to do so on a consistent basis for several years and it is […]

Raiders Mock Draft: Loading up Rob Leonard’s side of the ball
Draft week is upon us and shortly, there will be a shortage of mock drafts as the Las Vegas Raiders embark in a key 2026 NFL Draft as the team gears up for its first season under rookie head coach Klint Kubiak. There’s reasons to be both optimistic and pessimistic about the Silver & Black […]
Las Vegas Raiders 2026 NFL mock draft: How ‘best player available’ or filling need at 36 impacts rest of draft
It’s become a cliché at this point: the 2026 NFL draft starts with pick 36 for the Las Vegas Raiders. Building on that, the position the Raiders target in the second round has a domino effect on the rest of their selections, and there are plenty of avenues the club could go down. Las Vegas […]
Las Vegas Raiders 2026 Draft Scouting: Day Three Cornerbacks
As we approach the 2026 NFL Draft, I have broken down each position group with targets for the Las Vegas Raiders, and much more. I recently broke down the potential 1st to 4th round options, along with the options for them in the nickel. Las Vegas returns Eric Stokes & Darien Porter, both of which […]
Would you accept any of these No. 1 pick offers?
Yes, the NFL draft is a day away and the Las Vegas Raiders are fully expected to take Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 overall draft pick. It would be stunning if the Raiders trade the pick, but, anything is possible and let’s some some fun. Using the Pro Football Network draft simulator, […]
Raiders draft 2026: 7-round mock with big trade down
We’re offering a full seven-round Las Vegas Raiders mock draft. The first had no trades. The second had a first-round trade up, Today, we have a mock with a second-round trade down. Both of these mocks may have additional trades, both up and down. Full disclosure: Some players may appear on multiple mocks as we […]
Raiders not spending much on key position
There was a time not long ago when the Las Vegas Raiders were among the league leaders in investing in their wide receivers. That is no longer the case. In fact, it’s been a drmamatic turnaround. A recent evaluation from Spotrac (via another X account) showed the Raiders are dead last in money invest in […]

Day 2 wide receiver prospects who have talent to become Raiders’ WR1
With former Silver & Black linebacker and Detroit Lions general manager Matt Millen slated to announce the Las Vegas Raiders second-round selection in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, it’d be apt if pick No. 36 is a wide receiver. During Millen’s tenure as the chief personnel man in Detroit from 2001-08, the Penn State product […]
Las Vegas Raiders 2026 Draft Scouting: Day Three Linebackers
The Las Vegas Raiders added linebackers this off-season with Nakobe Dean, Quay Walker, and Segun Olubi but they still need to add depth to the position, and a swing on a late round flyer isn’t a bad idea. I broke down their options from rounds 2-4, and the class is very deep across the board […]
Las Vegas Raiders 5 most interesting Top 30 visits ahead of NFL Draft
We’re creeping close to the 2026 NFL draft, with the Las Vegas Raiders and the 31 other teams in the league wrapping up their top 30 pre-draft visits on Wednesday. Silver and Black Pride tracked 23 prospects who Las Vegas hosted over the last several weeks, and below is a look at the five most […]
Las Vegas Raiders 2026 Draft Scouting: Day Three EDGE Rushers
I broke down the Las Vegas Raiders early round EDGE rusher options earlier on in my draft scouting process. The Raiders haven’t drafted a true EDGE rusher since Tyree Wilson, and despite adding Kwity Paye a late round target to add depth is a very likely, and smart, idea to help build out the room. […]
Should Raiders consider Diego Pavia?
We know the Las Vegas Raiders will be adding a quarterback in the draft when they are fully expected to select Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza with the No. 1 pick. But the franchise may not be done with the position in the draft after taking Mendoza. The might be interested in adding another quarterback in the […]

We are continuing our series of three full Las Vegas Raiders’ mock draft. First, we offered a no-trade mock, Today, we have a big trade up. and another with a second-round trade down. Both of these mocks may have additional trades, both up and down. Full disclosure: Some players may appear on multiple mocks as […]
Is Klint Kubiak setting an early tone?
The Las Vegas Raiders are holding their first voluntary minicamp of the Klint Kubiak era and the new coach apparently is already challenging his new squad. In first-day photos of the camp from the team, via Las Vegas reporter Nick Walters, it appears players began to practice with the Raiders’ famous shield logo not appearing […]
Raiders fans’ confidence is high this week
We all know the NFL draft hasn’t been overly kind to the Las Vegas Raiders over the years. So, the fan base has had a right to be a bit nervous about the event leading into most years. But this year is not most years. The Raiders own the No. 1 overall pick in Thursday’s […]

Holder’s ‘my guy’ at every position Las Vegas Raiders need in 2026 NFL draft
When John Spytek meets with his scouting staff for the final time before the 2026 NFL draft, each scout will have one last opportunity to pound the table for prospects they want the Las Vegas Raiders to take. While I won’t be in that room and Spytek, undoubtedly, doesn’t care about my opinion, it’s time […]
Raiders’ Super Bowl hero Rod Martin dies at age 72
Rod Martin, one of the Raiders’ all-time great Super Bowl performers, has died at the age of 72. The team announced Martin’s death Monday via its X Account. The linebacker played his entire 12-season career with the Oakland/Los Angeles Raiders spanning 1977-88. The Los Angeles native was a 12th round draft pick in 1977 (No. […]
What would Chris Johnson add to Las Vegas Raiders’ secondary in 2026 NFL draft?
The Las Vegas Raiders’ roster could use some depth and extra talent at cornerback heading into the 2026 NFL draft. As a result, the Raiders held a top 30 visit with former San Diego State corner, Chris Johnson, who ranks 39th overall on NFL Mock Draft Database’s consensus big board, as of April 14, putting […]
