## Resource

The Raiders have made a franchise-defining move by selecting quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the #1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. In this episode of Raiders Squad Show, Lincoln Kennedy, Q Myers, and Shantelle Chand break down everything you need to know — from the pressure of being the top pick to what this means for the future of the organization. We dive into Mendoza’s strengths, weaknesses, and how he fits into the Raiders’ offensive system, including the impact of having a veteran presence like Kirk Cousins as a mentor. Plus, we look ahead to Day 2 and Day 3 of the draft, discuss key positional needs, potential targets, and whether the offensive line still needs to be addressed early. Don’t miss expert insight, strong opinions, and live reactions as the Raiders begin a new era at quarterback.
