It’s been a ride already.
The Las Vegas Raiders have owned the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft for just more than a week. Yet it has been a wild ride.
Indiana quarterback, the Heisman Trophy winner, had been the early favorite to be the team’s pick. But that went to the next level after his incredible play in a NCAA playoff win over Oregon last week. Mendoza was near perfect in the game.
He looks like the clear-cut choice. The Raiders badly need a young quarterback and Mendoza fits the bill perfectly, it seems.
Have you seen enough or do you need to do more?
Perhaps you don’t think Mendoza will be truly worthy of the pick yet? Perhaps their is someone else you want? Perhaps you want to see the Raider trade the pick for a load of compensation. Perhaps you need to see more of Mendoza next week?
Where you at in the process?
