"Would the Raiders entertain a trade for the No. 1 pick? I doubt it. It's hard to imagine the Raiders passing on Indiana's Fernando Mendoza, especially after ownership, including Tom Brady, attended the College Football Playoff National Championship. After Geno Smith's rough 2025 season, the Raiders need to bring in a young signal-caller who can grow with running back Ashton Jeanty and tight end Brock Bowers."
"The Raiders have the No. 1 pick for the first time since 2007, and they seem poised to select a signal-caller. But could they be willing to entertain a trade for the top selection? The rest of the top 10 also offers intrigue. How can the Titans best support quarterback Cam Ward -- the No. 1 pick from 2025 -- at No. 4? Would the Chiefs consider making a splashy move with a rare top-10 selection?"
Only three regular-season games remain in 2025 before the offseason and the 2026 draft begins April 23 in Pittsburgh. The Raiders hold the No. 1 pick for the first time since 2007 and appear poised to select a quarterback rather than trade the selection. Indiana's Fernando Mendoza is the projected target after ownership, including Tom Brady, attended the College Football Playoff National Championship. The Raiders need a young signal-caller to develop alongside running back Ashton Jeanty and tight end Brock Bowers. Mendoza's toughness, accuracy and poise under pressure match those needs. The Jets would not draft a quarterback here unless the Raiders passed on Mendoza.
