Here is a look at how the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 draft class (eight of the 10 picks are on the 53-man roster) fared in a 38-33 win at the New York Jetson Sunday and what to look for Sunday at the San Francisco 49ers.
Fernando Mendoza:
The No. 1 overall pick has only played in Week 5 in a mop-up role.
Treydan Stukes:
The Raiders’ second-round pick played all 64 defensive snaps and had a pass breakup.
Trey Zuhn:
The third-round pick made his starting debut, playing every offensive snap. He held up well
and coach Klint Kubiak indicated he will remain in the lineup at right guard at San Francisco.
Jermod McCoy:
The fourth-round pick played extensively for the first time this season. He preciosuly only played on defense in two games. He played 53 percent of the defensive snaps (and 16 snaps on special teams) after starting outside cornerback Darien Porter was hurt with a groin injury. McCoy had his ups and downs, but Kubiak said he will get more chances in the future.
Mike Washington:
The fourth-round pick played played 60 percent of the snaps, a sea high and he had a season high 25 carries, for 83 yards. Ashton Jeanty had just two carries. It seems like, for now, Washington is the Raiders’ lead tailback, which is stunning considered Jeanty was the No. 6 overall pick last season
Dalton Johnson:
The fifth-round pick safety was inactive for the seventh time in eight games.
Zeke Masses:
The fifth-round pick played 45 defensive snaps after Porter was hurt. He rotated with McCoy and made a big paly late even though he gave up some plays. He will likely continue to compete with McCoy for playing time if Porter remains out.
Malik Benson:
The sixth-round pick was a healthy scratch for the first time. We might have to wonder if Benson’s roster spot is in jeopardy if he continues to sit on game days.
