Dante Moore's Peach Bowl struggles should make Raiders fans grateful for No. 1 pick

The Las Vegas Raiders hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The franchise was one of four teams that finished the year with a 3-14 mark, however, their .538 strength of schedule was the worst of those teams, giving them the top selection.

Raider Nation should feel very fortunate that they were able to secure the first pick of the draft, as it appears there may be a bigger gap between the top quarterbacks than the country originally thought. While 2025 Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza had a massive performance in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, Dante Moore did little to help the Oregon Ducks in their 56-22 loss to the Indiana Hoosiers.
