Raiders break fans' hearts by passing on Day 1 QB in three-round mock draft

The Las Vegas Raiders are destined to select a quarterback in the 2026 NFL Draft. With no feasible solutions on the current roster and the No. 1 pick in their hands, the stars are completely aligned for Indiana's Fernando Mendoza or Oregon's Dante Moore to become a Raider this coming April.

But what if they go a different direction? General manager John Spytek loves his picks, and he recently said that Las Vegas needs to undergo a multi-year rebuild. Trading back from the top spot could be fruitful in that effort, as the more darts he has to throw at the board in the draft, the better.
