Raiders Draft: Trey Zuhn III bolsters offensive line with versatility
It’d be way too easy to pick Fernando Mendoza as my favorite selection in the initial three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Indiana quarterback fills a dire need at the most important position in the game and, with veteran Kirk Cousins inked in free agency, the Silver & Black are afforded the opportunity […]

NFL mock draft 2027: What the Raiders did in way-too-early projections
The end of the 2026 NFL draft marks the beginning of a new era for the Las Vegas Raiders, as the organization turns to No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza to get it back to its winning ways. But, as it’s been said plenty of times this offseason, the Raiders are looking at a multi-year […]

RB Mike Washington Jr. forms thunder and lightening with Ashton Jeanty
The Las Vegas finished with 10 picks in the 2026 NFL draft and spent one on a backup to Ashton Jeanty. That player is running back Mike Washington Jr out of Arkansas, who had an excellent draft season, rising him up the boards. Washington finished last season with 1066 yards and eight touchdowns in his […]

Las Vegas Raiders 2026 draft grades
The Las Vegas Raiders completed their 2026 NFL draft after a long four-month process. Finally, the scouting department and front office got their chance to pick the players who could help the team for the future. Of course, it started with the drafting of their franchise quarterback, Fernando Mendoza. He will be the centerpiece of […]
Raiders 2026 NFL draft winners and losers: Jack Bech has big opportunity despite wide receiver smoke
The 2026 NFL draft is in the books, and the Las Vegas Raiders added 10 rookies to the roster during the draft. So, for the players who were already on the roster heading into this weekend, who benefited the most and who might be on the hot seat heading into training camp? Let’s dive into […]

New Raiders cornerback Jermod McCoy had a difficult two days
The Las Vegas Raiders started off day three with a bang. They traded up one spot to take one of the most surprising fallers in the NFL Draft. A player many considered the best cornerback in the draft, the Silver and Black took Jermod McCoy with the first pick of the fourth round. McCoy missed […]
Geno Smith trade results: Raiders use 2026 NFL Draft pick from jets
With the 2026 NFL Draft weekend upon us, teams will introduce their latest rookie class to the league in hopes of having them become part of the next Super Bowl puzzle. The draft also means finalizing past trades that included future draft picks. That includes a deal made earlier this offseason that sent quarterback Geno […]
Las Vegas Raiders Scouting: Brandon Cleveland
The Raiders rounded out their 2026 draft class, selecting NC state nose tackle Brandon Cleveland with the 229th overall selection. The Raiders had been searching for a nose tackle, and Cleveland provides that especially with their lack of true 0/1-Tech on the roster. A 2 year starter, and 2x All ACC selection, Cleveland should push […]
Raiders draft 2026: Trades and wide receiver position on my mind
The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 draft is over. Here are some thoughts after Day 3: Raiders’ general manager John Spytek is not afraid to wheel and deal. He showed it as a rookie GM last year when he slid down twice in the second round. This year, he took a slight trade down in the […]
NFL Draft results: Raiders’ complete draft class of 2026
The 2026 NFL draft is officially in the books, and the Las Vegas Raiders added 10 rookies to the roster over the weekend. That should help kick-start the Raiders’ rebuild, which No. 1 overall pick and the team’s new quarterback Fernando Mendoza will be the face of. Mendoza also enters the 2026 season with the […]
Las Vegas Raiders NFL Draft 2026 pick tracker: Complete seven-round draft picks
The 2026 NFL draft is finally underway as the first round kicked off on Thursday evening with the Las Vegas Raiders selecting former Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza No. 1 overall. But we have two more days, six more rounds and nine (barring trades) more Raiders draft picks to keep tabs on throughout the weekend. Below […]
Las Vegas Raiders Scouting: Malik Benson
The Raiders finally take a wide receiver, just a little farther down the board then people expected them too. The Raiders used the 195th overall pick, after trading down from 185th overall to select Oregon standout Malik Benson. The former Alabama, Florida State, and Oregon product adds a potential player that can work the slot, […]
Las Vegas Raiders Scouting: Hezekiah Masses
The Raiders selected Cal CB Hezekiah Masses with the 175th overall selection, adding another player to their secondary with Jermod McCoy, Treydan Stukes, and Dalton Johnson already being added to the Las Vegas secondary. The Raiders are clearly making it a priority to add to a secondary that lacked talent, depth, and youth. Masses provides […]
Robert Spillane compensatory pick: What did the Raiders do with the 2026 NFL Draft selection?
The 2026 NFL Draft will award compensatory picks to teams that lost top free agents from last year’s class. That includes the Las Vegas Raiders, who saw Robert Spillane sign a three-year, $33 million contract with the New England Patriots. Why did the Raiders get a compensatory pick for Robert Spillane? The Raiders received a […]
Las Vegas Raiders Scouting: Dalton Johnson
The Raiders spent their 150th overall pick, acquired from the Saints for Tyree Wilson, to select another Arizona safety in Dalton Johnson. Johnson, 23, projects as a versatile defender for the Raiders secondary and shows an ability to work across the formation, but wins primarily with his instincts, reaction skills, first step, and aggression. He’ll […]
Raiders trade Tyree Wilson
The Las Vegas Raiders said goodbye to an overachieving former first-round pick as they sent pass-rusher Tyree Wilson to the New Orleans Saints. The Raiders paired Wilson and a seventh-round pick (No. 219) for the 150th pick. The Raiders took Arizona safety Dalton Johnson with the pick. Wilson was the No. 7 overall pick in […]
Kenny Pickett trade results: Raiders are free of the quarterback
Kenny Pickett was a first-round pick in 2022, but since then, he’s been traded more than any player in the NFL. He was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024, the Cleveland Browns in 2025, then the Las Vegas Raiders later in 2025. We’re going to explore that August 2025 trade between the Raiders and […]
Las Vegas Raiders Scouting: Mike Washington Jr
The Raiders selected Arkansas RB Mike Washington with the 122nd overall pick, to pair the Arkansas product with 2025 top 10 selection Ashton Jeanty. The Raiders have been focal on trying to add another runningback to their offense, and Washington will fill that role. The former Razorback provides a ton of juice, athleticism, and breakaway […]
Raiders add another running back
A year after taking Ashton Jeanty with the No. 6 overall pick, Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek went back to the running back position and drafted Arkansas’ Mike Washington in the fourth round. The Raiders traded up for the second time in the fourth round Saturday as they sent the Atlanta Falcons the […]
