Raiders begin signing draft class
Treydan Stukes gets the honors. The second-round pick, a versatile defensive backs who can play both slot cornerback and safety, signed his rookie contract on Thursday afternoon. He was the No. 38 overall draft pick and he is expected to be an instant contributor to the defense. Expect more of the team’s 10 draft picks […]
Las Vegas Raiders 53-man roster projection post 2026 NFL draft
The Las Vegas Raiders are a long way away from having to make the final 53-man roster decision, and currently have a small army after making 10 picks in the 2026 NFL draft, signing 18 undrafted free agents and inviting a handful of players to rookie minicamp. But the conclusion of the draft gives us […]
Treydan Stukes adds versatile ballhawk to Las Vegas Raiders’ secondary via 2026 NFL draft
The Las Vegas Raiders made a somewhat surprising move in the second round of the 2026 NFL draft, adding former Arizona defensive back Treydan Stukes to the roster. While the Raiders needed a safety heading into the draft, part of the shock value with the Stukes pick is that he was primarily a cornerback in […]
Submit your post-2026 NFL draft Las Vegas Raiders mailbag questions!
After months of waiting, he’s finally here! The Las Vegas Raiders officially made former Indiana quarterback and 2025 Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza the future of the franchise by selecting him with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 NFL draft last week. Of course, the Raiders added nine other players during the draft, […]
Looking back at Tyree Wilson draft selection
The Las Vegas Raiders traded defensive end Tyree Wilson to the New Orleans Saints on Day Three of the 2026 draft. The Raiders sent Wilson and a seventh-round pick to the Saints for the No. 150 pick when they took Arizona safety Dalton Johnson. So, the Saints measured Wilson’s trade value essentially as a mid […]
Raider Nation is loving the 2026 NFL draft
The Las Vegas Raiders started a new era on Thursday night on day one of the 2026 NFL draft. They took their first quarterback in the first round since 2007 by selecting Fernando Mendoza from Indiana. Mendoza is the 2025 Heisman Trophy Winner and helped lead the Hoosiers to their first-ever national championship. Mendoza will […]
Some love for Malik Benson
Yearly, ESPN analyst Louis Riddick puts out a list of late-round picks for each NFL team who he feels have a chance to become a key contributor quickly. I look forward to seeing the list because, for my money, Riddick is one of the most astute analysts working. He is a former player and front-office […]

The AFC West draft picks that’ll give the Raiders a headache
The 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone. But with it, comes renewed hopes and vigor for the 32 NFL teams that engaged in adding promising prospects over the course of the seven-round excursion. The Las Vegas Raiders were one of those squads. As were the other trio of AFC West teams. You’ve likely seen […]
Takeaways from John Spytek’s 1st 2 NFL draft classes for Las Vegas Raiders
With the 2026 NFL draft in the books, Las Vegas Raiders general manager John Spytek now has two drafts under his belt as the team’s decision maker and has added 21 players to the roster during that timeframe. That gives us an opportunity to explore some insights and notice any trends in how Spytek operates […]
A Laki Tasi refresher
A hot name in the post-draft chatter for the Las Vegas Raiders is Laki Tasi. Our Tristen Kuhn noted this week that Tasi was working the defensive line in the voluntary minicamp last week. Social-media photos from the team confirmed that the Raiders signed Tasi as a defensive tackle last year, but quickly moved him […]
Possible post-draft free agent fits
Let’s look at some potential veteran free-agent fits for the Las Vegas Raiders now that the draft is over: Jauan Jennings: The wide receiver has played for new Las Vegas head coach Klint Kubiak in the past. The Raiders have a crowded wide-receiver room, yet it could still use some veteran presence. If the price […]
Will we see a Kirk Cousins-Klint Kubiak rewind?
We may see some of Kirk Cousins as the Las Vegas Raiders’ starting quarterback to begin the 2026 season. Who really knows long long Cousins will be the starter before No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza, but there is clearly a chance we may see some Cousins this seasons. If that is the case, it […]

The Raiders’ best, worst picks from the 2026 NFL Draft
The obvious selection was Fernando Mendoza. Identified by the Silver & Black as a franchise-type quarterback, the Indiana Hoosiers’ signal caller was destined to head to Sin City as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. From there, the notion was the team would use the rest of its draft capital to […]
Not a one-year wonder, Las Vegas Raiders’ No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza was a baller at Cal
It comes with the territory of being the No. 1 overall pick of the 2026 NFL draft, but new Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Fernando Mendoza has been unfairly scrutinized as a “one-year wonder”. Sure, the Heisman trophy winner’s best season was this past one at Indiana. But make no mistake about it, he was a […]

Ranking Raiders needs post-draft
The Las Vegas Raiders accomplished a lot as they selected 10 players in the 2026 NFL draft last weekend. Still, they do still have some potential needs before the start of the season. Let’s look at some: Defensive tackle: Yes, the Raiders drafted nose tackle Brandon Cleveland in the seventh round. Still, I’d like to […]
Raiders to host special Hispanic Football Hall of Fame event
A special event is happening at the Las Vegas Raiders’ Henderson Nevada headquarters next week and it a perfect location and host. The inaugural Hispanic Football Hall of Fame will held its induction ceremony and honor Pro and college players of the year. The event will be held on May 5, which, of course, is […]

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 […]
Raiders’ roster 2026: How the pass-rushers stack up

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 […]
