The Las Vegas Raiders will enter the 2026 NFL Draft cycle with countless needs, but no position will be under a brighter spotlight than quarterback.
With the offense showing flashes but lacking the type of week-to-week consistency that elevates relevant units, the front office must decide whether to take a big swing at quarterback early on Day 1, play the board on Day 2, or hunt for value once again on Day 3.
Fortunately, the class offers distinct profiles at each stage of the draft: a polished operator ready for the keys on Day 1, a rapidly ascending dual-threat whose traits pop on Day 2, and a developmental passer on Day 3 with enough tools and leadership qualities to grow into something more.
