"With the NFL season officially in the books after Seattle's dismantling of New England in Super Bowl LX, it's time to turn our attention to the NFL Draft! Currently, the 2026 NFL Draft odds have Indiana's star quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Fernando Mendoza the heavy favorite to go first overall and begin the next rebuild for the Raiders. Although he's all but locked in as the first pick, a lot can happen in two months."
"If you're looking for a long shot to crash the party, the board currently leans toward high-upside defensive anchors. Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss sits as the distant second choice at +3000, followed by Miami's Rueben Bain Jr. and Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese. While the odds suggest Mendoza to Vegas is a "done deal," any shake-up in the Raiders' front office opinions based on the NFL Scouting Combine or a surprise trade-up"
Seattle defeated New England in Super Bowl LX. The Las Vegas Raiders hold the No.1 pick and Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza is the overwhelming favorite to go first overall at -8000 after leading Indiana to a national title and winning the Heisman. Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss is the second choice at +3000, followed by Miami's Rueben Bain Jr. and Ohio State linebacker Arvell Reese. Raiders perceptions could change based on the NFL Scouting Combine or a surprise trade-up. The New York Jets hold No.2, with Arvell Reese currently favored there; Rueben Bain Jr. and Jeremiyah Love also draw interest.
