The Las Vegas Raiders, currently with a 2-14 record, are one loss away from securing the top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft following a 34-10 defeat to the New York Giants. The loss was pivotal, as both teams aimed for the worst record in the NFL, and the Raiders’ performance highlighted their need for a quarterback after a disappointing season. The Giants, led by rookie Jaxson Dart, are less desperate for a QB but still positioned for a strong draft pick. With the Raiders likely to clinch the first overall selection, they are in a prime position to acquire a franchise quarterback, such as Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza.
