  • Raiders' Trey Zuhn: Heads to Las Vegas

    The Raiders selected Zuhn in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 91st overall.

    Zuhn (6-foot-7, 312 pounds) was a dominating presence as a four-year starter at Texas A&M, where he primarily lined up at LT before also beginning to mix in at center in 2025. It appears he will remain in the interior with Las Vegas. Zuhn earned first-team All-SEC honors in 2025 and has demonstrated valuable versatility, but there are reasons to be concerned that his less-than-ideal length (32.5-inch arms) will cause hurdles at the NFL level. The Raiders inked Tyler Linderbaum to a massive three-year deal in free agency, so Zuhn projects to compete with Will Putnam for a reserve role.

  • Raiders' Keyron Crawford: Grabbed by Raiders

    The Raiders selected Crawford in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 67th overall.

    Crawford spent the final two seasons of his collegiate career at Auburn but didn't emerge as a starter until 2025, when he totaled 35 tackles, including 5.0 sacks and 9.5 tackles for a loss, one forced fumble and one pass defensed (including one INT). As a rookie, he figures to compete for reps at 3-4 outside linebacker, making Crawford a developmental pass-rushing prospect behind Maxx Crosby, Kwity Paye and Malcolm Koonce.

  • Raiders' Treydan Stukes: Taken by Las Vegas in second round

    The Raiders selected Stukes in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 38th overall.

    Stukes had to fight for his roster spot as a walk-on at Arizona in 2020, where he spent all six years of his college career. He spent the last couple of seasons at safety and as the nickel corner after starting out as an outside corner, and he saw his tackling and pass defense numbers rise as a result. Stukes tore the ACL in his right knee during the 2024 season, but he bounced back nicely in 2025 and was selected to both the All-American Third-Team and the All-Big 12 First-Team after logging 52 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and six pass defenses (including a career-high four interceptions). Stukes has a chance to earn a consistent role in the Raiders secondary in his rookie season, with his main competition coming from Tristin McCollum.

  • Raiders' Kirk Cousins: Raiders draft QB first overall

    Cousins is set for a quarterback competition with rookie first overall pick Fernando Mendoza and Aidan O'Connell, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

    The Raiders drafted Mendoza on Thursday after signing Cousins earlier in April. According to McFadden, the Raiders' top brass would prefer not to thrust a rookie quarterback into action immediately, but GM John Spytek said the best player will start. Cousins' edge in experience gives the veteran signal-caller a viable chance to beat out Mendoza, at least initially, though it wouldn't be surprising to see Mendoza eventually take over the starting job at some point during the 2026 regular season.

  • Raiders' Fernando Mendoza: Taken by the Raiders

    The Raiders selected Mendoza in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, first overall.

    Mendoza (6-foot-5, 236 pounds) was all but locked in as the first overall pick as soon as the draft order was set, because franchise quarterback prospects go first overall and Mendoza has everything teams look for in that regard. Even as a modest recruit out of Miami who had to go all the way to out west Cal to find a starting opportunity at the FBS level, it was clear by about mid-October of the 2025 season - his first and only season at Indiana - that Mendoza had established himself as the top QB in the country. Indeed, the Hoosiers went 16-0 in 2025 and Mendoza won the Heisman Trophy in what went down as one of the most memorable storybook seasons in college football history. Mendoza was utterly dominant in 2025, completing 72.0 percent of his passes at 9.3 yards per attempt, producing an outrageous 41 passing touchdowns on just 379 attempts versus six interceptions. Though not a runner by initial inclination, Mendoza is plenty capable and decisive as a rusher, offering both athleticism and power. With new coach Klint Kubiak running the show the Raiders offense should soon be the best it has been in a number of years, though the exact timing of Mendoza's full arrival remains to be seen. The Raiders signed Kirk Cousins to a one-year deal this offseason, and Kubiak previously said that it's not his preference to place a rookie at the starting QB position. Mendoza can force the issue by outplaying Cousins in training camp, but at worst Mendoza is expected to take over as starter at some point before the 2026 season concludes. Whenever Mendoza takes over, there's reason to expect he'll be at least an average starting signal-caller soon or immediately from that point.
