The Las Vegas Raiders are in an interesting position, as they begin an offseason that will be pivotal to the franchise for the next decade. They have already fired head coach Pete Carroll after a 3-14 season, and it is highly unlikely that Geno Smith will retain his role as the team's starting quarterback.

Instead, the Raiders will likely use the first overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft to bring in a rookie quarterback that they can pair with whoever they hire to lead the franchise. Building around that duo will be just as important; luckily, the franchise has 10 draft picks and over $110 million in cap space.
