Pro Football Focus recently released a three-round 2026 NFL mock draft. The Las Vegas Raiders own the Nos. 1, 36, and 67 overall picks in the opening three rounds. PFF has the Raiders grabbing their quarterback of the future before turning their attention to the offensive and defensive lines.
Like every mock you'll read this offseason, the Raiders take Indiana Hoosiers quarterback Fernando Mendoza at No. 1 overall.
"At this point, there is little debate about whether the Raiders will use the No. 1 overall pick on Mendoza," Gordon McGuinness wrote. "The Indiana quarterback posted a 5.7% big-time throw rate and a 2.6% turnover-worthy play rate in 2025, helping him earn a 91.6 PFF overall grade for the season."
With the 36th selection in this mock scenario, John Spytek drafts Texas Tech nose tackle Lee Hunter. Hunter is a space-eating interior defender who was terrific at the Senior Bowl. Daniel Jeremiah has him ranked as his 26th overall prospect.
At No. 67, the Raiders take Clemson offensive tackle Blake Miller. Kolton Miller is coming off a serious injury and DJ Glaze isn't a starting-caliber right tackle. It's worth noting the Raiders already have a mid-round tackle worth developing in Charles Grant. Miller is an athletic and long right tackle.
