There was something in the air that night
The stars were bright, Fernando
They were shining there for you and me
For liberty, Fernando
Though I never thought that we could lose
There's no regret
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando
If I had to do the same again
I would, my friend, Fernando

Blast that song, Raider Nation. Play it on repeat. With the New York Giants' Week 18 win against the Dallas Cowboys, the Las Vegas Raiders have clinched the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and the rights to select Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, if they should so choose.
