Getting Fernando Mendoza is call and all, but, now the first round of the 2026 NFL draft will not just be about the No. 1 pick for the Las Vegas Raiders.
After the trade of star defensive end Maxx Crosby to the Baltimore Ravens, the Raiders also own the No. 14 pick in the draft. So, it’s going to be a fun night.
The Raiders, of course, has several options and can trade up and down in the first round of the draft and through the seven rounds as they have the most draft capital in the league. We will
be discussing that in earnest in the next several weeks.
For now, let’s look at the No. 14 pick.
The Raiders should have several options. They, of course, have many needs, which will change depending on what happens in free agency. But here are some names to keep an eye on at No. 14 for right now:
- Miami pass-rusher Rueben Bain.
- USC wide receiver Makai Lemon.
- Penn State guard Olaivavega Ioane.
- Utah guard Spencer Fano
- Tennessee cornerback Jermod McCoy
- Toledo safety Emmanuel McNeil-Warren
- Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman
- Indiana wide receiver Omar Cooper.
How do you like for the Raiders at No. 14 right now?
