The Las Vegas Raiders are in a strong position heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, holding the No. 1 overall pick, which they are expected to use to select former Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza. General Manager John Spytek revealed that several teams have expressed interest in trading for this coveted pick during a news conference in Henderson, Nevada. The Raiders, who finished last season with a record of 3-14, have a total of 10 picks in the draft, including one in each of the first three rounds and multiple fourth-round selections. Spytek stated that while they are open to trade discussions, they will only consider offers if they feel the player available at No. 1 is not a standout choice. The team has also signed veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins this offseason, adding depth to their quarterback room alongside Aidan O'Connell. Spytek emphasized the importance of being open-minded during the drafting process, suggesting that unexpected trade offers could arise as they approach their selection.
